Betis, Celta, Rayo chase crucial European results on Thursday

Madrid, Dec 10 (UNI) Celta Vigo, Real Betis, and Rayo Vallecano return to European action on Thursday, with Betis and Celta seeking to secure top-eight spots in their Europa League groups and Rayo needing a win in the Europa Conference League to avoid a playoff round.
Betis sits fifth in its Europa League group ahead of its visit to Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia.
Coach Manuel Pellegrini is expected to freshen his side after a 5-3 home defeat to Barcelona at the weekend, with Cedrik Bakambu, Junior Firpo, and young winger Pablo Garcia among those in line to start. With Betis not playing again in La Liga until Monday against Rayo, wholesale changes remain unlikely.
