CompetitionSpanish La Liga

TV ChannelViaplay Sports 1 UK

Real Betis are flying right now, and the question going into this one is simple: can Getafe do anything to stop them? The Seville side have been one of the most impressive outfits in La Liga this season, and they are hosting a Getafe team that has looked toothless in front of goal. On paper this looks comfortable for the hosts, but Jose Bordalas is one of the most awkward gaffers in Spanish football to face, and his teams never make life easy. So let us dig into whether Betis can keep their momentum rolling.

Real Betis vs Getafe Match Details

This La Liga fixture takes place at the Estadio Benito Villamarin in Seville. Betis are very much the home comforts brigade here, playing in front of a passionate green and white support that has had plenty to cheer about already this season. Getafe make the trip south knowing that their league position needs improving, and a result here would do their confidence a world of good heading into October.

Team News

Betis have a couple of concerns but nothing that should derail their preparations too seriously. Getafe, on the other hand, are genuinely stretched in certain areas.

• Aitor Ruibal is out for Betis with a knee injury
• Diego Llorente is a doubt after picking up a broken nose
• Antony is pushing to return to the starting XI after presumably being eased back in
• Pablo Fornals is set to continue in a deeper midfield role
• Isco and Marc Roca were Betis standouts last time out and should both start
• Getafe are without Abdel Abqar, Andres Garcia, Kiko Femenia, Juanmi and Christantus Uche through injury
• Zaid Romero returns from suspension and is expected to go straight back into the Getafe back line
• Enes Unal leads the line for Getafe and has three goals in seven appearances this season

Predicted Lineups

Manuel Pellegrini looks set to go with a front line built around movement and creativity. With Antony likely to come back in on the right and Abdessamad Ezzalzouli on the left, there is genuine width to stretch Getafe. Isco pulling strings in the ten role behind striker Alvaro Hernandez gives Betis a real focal point, and with Roca and Fornals providing the engine in midfield, this is a side that can dominate possession and punish on the break.

Getafe will line up compact and hard to beat as always under Bordalas. Romero slots straight back into defence alongside Djene, giving them a bit more solidity at the back. Unal and Monzon form the attacking partnership, but with only three league goals all season, Getafe desperately need their forwards to find another gear.

• Real Betis: Valles; Bellerin, Bartra, Natan, Garcia; Fornals, Roca; Antony, Isco, Ezzalzouli; Hernandez
• Getafe: Soria; Boselli, Romero, Djene, Mojica; Terrats, Martin, Mangala, Satriano; Unal, Monzon

Recent Form

Betis have been absolutely purring this season. Four wins and a draw from five La Liga games puts them third in the table, just three points off Barcelona at the top. They have beaten Real Madrid along the way, which tells you everything about the level they are operating at right now. The Champions League is also up and running for them after a 3-2 win over Lille, and they backed that up with a 2-1 league victory over Villarreal last time out. Five wins from six in all competitions is the kind of form that gets fans dreaming.

The only blot on the copybook was a 5-2 hammering at Levante at the end of August, which was a real eyebrow raiser. Levante caught them cold, but Pellegrini clearly got the response he needed from his players in the weeks that followed. That result should not be used as evidence that Betis are flawed, more that they had a bad afternoon and bounced back with real conviction.

Getafe have drawn their last two, against Celta Vigo and Deportivo La Coruna, and the underlying numbers are worrying. One win, two draws and two defeats from five league games, plus just three goals scored all season. This is a side that works incredibly hard and presses with intensity, but they simply cannot find the net consistently enough. Away from home against a top six contender, that problem is only likely to get worse.

Head-to-Head Record

The head to head record strongly favours Betis. They have won three of the last four meetings between these two sides, and Getafe have only managed two wins in their last eleven attempts against the Seville club. The one recent blemish for Betis was a 2-0 defeat when the sides last met earlier this year in March, so Getafe do have recent evidence that they can nullify Betis on their day.

That March result will give Bordalas something to point to in the team talk, but Betis at the Benito Villamarin with this kind of momentum behind them is a different proposition. The overall trend in this fixture points clearly in one direction.

Key Stats

• Real Betis have 12 points from five La Liga games, putting them third in the table
• Getafe have scored just three league goals all season from five matches
• Getafe have won only two of their last eleven meetings with Real Betis
• Enes Unal has three goals in seven appearances this season and is Getafe’s main threat going forward
• Betis beat Real Madrid earlier this season, underlining that this squad can compete at the very highest level in La Liga

Real Betis vs Getafe Betting Tips

The overall angle here is fairly clear. Betis are in brilliant form at home, Getafe are struggling to score, and the head to head record heavily favours the hosts. The value looks to be in backing Betis to win while also leaning into markets around goals and individual player threat. Here is how the specific markets look.

First Goalscorer Prediction

Isco is the standout pick here. Operating in a free role behind the striker, he has the freedom to arrive late into the box and has clearly been one of Betis’s most creative and dangerous players this season. He proved it against Villarreal last time out and Getafe will struggle to pin him down. Good value as first goalscorer.

Cards Prediction

Getafe under Bordalas are never shy in the tackle, and when they are being outplayed they tend to get physical. With Betis likely to dominate large portions of this game, expect plenty of niggly fouls and at least a couple of yellows for the visitors. The Getafe midfield, particularly in central areas where Betis will look to play through them, is where the cards market looks most interesting. Back over three and a half cards in this one.

Over and Under Goals Prediction

This is a tricky one because Getafe are so hard to score against as a unit, even when they are outplayed. Three goals conceded in five games is actually a decent defensive record. However, Betis have too much quality and Getafe have too little going forward to make a low scoring game feel right. Over one and a half goals looks the sensible call, with Betis likely to get at least two and Getafe potentially nicking one on the counter.

Correct Score Prediction

A 2-0 home win feels like the most likely outcome. Betis have the quality to open Getafe up and the clean sheet potential is real given how little the visitors have scored this season. A 2-0 scoreline mirrors what Getafe managed when the sides last met, only this time in Betis’s favour and in front of their own supporters.

Corners Prediction

Betis like to play wide, with Ezzalzouli and Antony both operating on the flanks and getting to the byline regularly. Getafe’s defensive shape will invite pressure from wide areas, which should generate a healthy corners count for the home side. Back over eight and a half corners in this one, with Betis expected to win the majority.

Bet Builder Tip

Betis winning to nil fits neatly with Getafe’s struggles in front of goal, and Isco’s creative influence makes him a genuine threat to open the scoring first.

Final Match Prediction

Real Betis look a class above Getafe right now, and everything about this fixture sets up well for the hosts. Pellegrini has his squad firing, the home support will be behind them, and Getafe simply do not have the firepower to cause real problems at the other end. Bordalas will set up to be hard to beat, but Betis have the individual quality in Isco, Ezzalzouli and Antony to unpick that defensive shape.

The one small note of caution is that Getafe showed in March they can frustrate Betis, and away performances tend to be more stubborn under Bordalas than home ones. But on current form and overall quality, this feels like a comfortable Betis afternoon. Predicted score: Real Betis 2-0 Getafe.
