Real Betis vs Celje Prediction and Betting Tips | November 7th 2024

The action continues in the UEFA Europa Conference League as Real Betis and Celje lock horns at the Benito Villamarin Stadium on Thursday. Manuel Pellegrini’s men have failed to win their opening two games and will head into the midweek clash looking to get their campaign up and running.

Real Betis were denied a third win on the spin in La Liga as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Athletic Bilbao at the Estadio de San Mamés last Sunday.

Before that, Pellegrini’s men kicked off their 2024-25 Copa del Rey campaign in style as they thrashed CD Gevora 6-1 at the Estadio Francisco de la Hera on October 31.

Betis now turn their focus to the Conference League, where they have failed to win their opening two games, losing 1-0 against Legia Warsaw on October 3, three weeks before playing out a 1-1 draw with Copenhagen.

Celje, on the other hand, were condemned to consecutive defeats in the Slovenian top flight for the first time this season as they were beaten 1-0 by Olimpija last time out.

Sandwiched between their two league losses, Albert Riera’s men booked their spot in the round of 16 of the Slovenian Cup on October 30 courtesy of an emphatic 8-0 victory over Hodos.

Celje now return to action in the Conference League, where they kicked off their campaign with a 3-1 loss against Vitoria de Guimaraes on October 2, three weeks before bouncing back in a 5-1 win over Istanbul Basaksehir.
