They haven’t won under his guidance in their three games across all competitions, losing two and drawing one.</p> <p>Real Betis are a solid opponent and a team that impressed in Europe last season. Led by the experienced Manuel Pellegrini, the club have had a solid start to their <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/spain/spanish-la-liga">2025/26 La Liga</a> campaign. They are sixth, with two wins and three draws (one defeat).</p> <p>Goals are expected, and with <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/uefa-competitions/uefa-europa-league/betis-v-nottm-forest-9583261">Betis favourites to win</a> in their game on Thursday (05:00 AEST), the ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ and the ‘Yes’ in the ‘Both Teams To Score’ markets look good value. The 'Over 2.5 Goals' market has hit in each of Real Betis' last six Europa League matches as a home favourite, while the BTTS market has hit in five of Real Betis' last six Europa League matches when favourite at home.</p> <p>Pablo Fornals and Cucho Hernández have both scored twice this season, while Giovani Lo Celso has a goal and two assists; Chris Wood has two goals so far. Additional value can be found by backing one of these to score.</p> <h2>Stuttgart vs Celta Vigo Betting Predictions</h2> <p>Playing on Friday (05:00 AEST), <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/uefa-competitions/uefa-europa-league/stuttgart-v-celta-vigo-9583284">Stuttgart are big favourites</a> to defeat Celta Vigo. However, there could be value in backing the Spanish side. Stuttgart has lost two of its last three Europa League matches as a favourite in Germany.</p> <p>Celta haven’t won in La Liga this season, but have five draws and one defeat (Barcelona). Borja Iglesias has three goals in five games, making him a potent threat. As an ‘Anytime Scorer’, he is worth value.</p> <p>Stuttgart have two wins and two defeats in the Bundesliga so far. Ermedin Demirovic has scored two goals so far, while Jamie Leweling has assisted three goals.</p> <p>Still, the 'Both Teams to Score' market has failed to hit in six of Stuttgart's last seven Europa League matches as a favourite. However, we expect it to hit, making the ‘Yes’ worth value.</p>
