Team Form and News

Real Betis impressed with a 2-1 comeback win at Villarreal recently, marking their third straight victory and fifth in six games across competitions. With 12 points from 15 possible, Manuel Pellegrini's squad sits third in La Liga, just three points shy of second place held by Real Madrid who have played an extra match. Notably, Betis already defeated Real Madrid this season, holding the advantage in their head-to-head record, so a win here would push them up to second.

Aitor Ruibal remains sidelined due to a meniscus injury, the only confirmed absentee for Betis. At home, they've won both their games so far this season.

Getafe, on the other hand, have struggled away from home, losing all three away matches in all competitions. They come off two consecutive 1-1 draws at home, most recently against Deportivo La Coruna. Their league form is disappointing with only one win in five outings, placing them 15th with five points from five matches. Coach Jose Bordalas cannot call on Christantus Uche (ACL), Juanmi (knee), Abdel Abqar (muscle), and Kiko Femenia (hamstring) due to injuries.

Interestingly, Getafe won the last meeting between these sides but lost three of the previous four encounters.
