Betis players were able to directly qualify for the group stage of the Europa League at the end of last season. In the new season, things are not going well for the team so far.

It is worth noting that the "cucumbers" drew with Cadiz and Mallorca, and also lost to Real Madrid. The white-greens also had a victory, which they managed to win over Granada with a minimal advantage – 2: 1.

In the national championship, Celtic alternates crushing victories with defeats. The team lost to Hearts and Rangers, which led to a drop to fifth place in the standings.
