Nature of the match: La Liga round 6

Match time: August 28 3:00

Celta's total value is 120 million euros, and Betis' total value is 150 million euros, and the gap is not big.

In the summer transfer window, Celta sold two main strikers, Jurgen Larsen and Fair Lopez to the Premier League Wolves. Their forward strength was weakened a lot, earning 50 million euros. Larsen was loaned first and then bought out. The 21-year-old Lopez has not yet played as the main player in Celta. At the same time, I spent 13 million euros to buy three forwards, Moriba, Hutegra and Iglesias. The 22-year-old Moriba became famous at Barcelona, ​​and the 26-year-old Hutegra also stayed at Barcelona. He performed well in Bruges last season. The 32-year-old Iglesias is also a La Liga star. He has been teammates with Espanyol and Wu Lei. These three signings are quite cost-effective.

Betis also made significant adjustments to the lineup in the summer window, selling more than ten players including Cardozo and Rui Silva, earning about 60 million euros, and introducing five players including De Osa, which cost 40 million euros.

Betis wants to continue to loan Anthony this summer. Manchester United's attitude is to only sell but not rent, but even if it is sold at a low price, it is unbearable for Betis. There are still a few days left for the summer transfer window to close, and Betis has not given up yet. It depends on whether he can persuade Manchester United to loan again at the last moment or open a transfer fee price code that he can afford.

Celta has not yet found its best form in the new La Liga season, but they performed quite well in a 1-1 draw with Mallorca, and defender Stafelt will still be out of this game.

Real Betis hopes to continue his good form based on the difficult defeat of Alaves 1-0 at home in the last game, but midfielder Isco is still recovering from his injury, and players such as Ezarzuli, De Osa, Lorent and Roca continue to be unable to play due to injuries.

Judging from the past confrontations, Celta has a psychological advantage in playing Betis. The two sides have faced each other in the last 10 matches, Celta has the upper hand in 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. Last season in La Liga, Celta remained unbeaten against Betis, 2:2 away and 3:2 at home. Against Betis, especially at home, Celta has a psychological advantage, and Betis is currently inconsistent. Among the star players, Isco is injured and Anthony has not come yet.

This game makes the home team more worthy of attention.
