Celta Vigo earned their first win in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, coming from behind to beat Celtic 2-1 on the road.
Claudio Giraldez's men have started to find their stride. After going winless in their first seven matches across all competitions, they have won three of their five games played since.
The hosts are brimming with confidence ahead of this clash following back-to-back 2-1 victories and are eighth in La Liga with a 2-5-2 win-draw-loss record.
Calta are plagued by injuries, as Borja Iglesias (calf), Jones El-Abdellaoui (knee), Carl Starfelt (hamstring), Alvaro Nunez (thigh), and Miguel Roman (knee) are all unavailable for selection.
On the other hand, Real Betis bounced back from last weekend's 5-2 home defeat against Barcelona by beating Feyenoord 1-0 on Wednesday, maintaining their 100% record in the UEFA Champions League.
The visitors have won seven of their last nine games in all competitions (D1, L1) and are fourth in La Liga, eight points behind leaders Barcelona.
The Andalusian side will be without the injured Cucho Hernandez (calf) and Junior Firpo (muscle), as well as the suspended Facundo Bernal, who was given a four-match ban for violent conduct in last weekend's defeat to Barcelona.
Recent clashes between these outfits have not been one-sided, as both teams have one win apiece with three draws between them in the last five H2Hs. Furthermore, Betis have no wins in their last five trips to this stadium.

Whispers Predicts: Celta Vigo 2-2 Real Betis
Priced at 7/5 (2.40), Real Betis are considered favourites by the bookmakers ahead of this clash.
