An important game at both ends of the La Liga standings will take place on Wednesday evening. Real Betis will effectively secure their spot in a Europa League place with a home victory, while Getafe needs maximum points in their battle to avoid relegation.
La Liga Preview
The battle to secure a European finish in La Liga continues this week, as Real Betis play host to Getafe. The hosts currently sit sixth in the standings, and they could assure a Europa League spot this week if they pick up maximum points. Betis comes into this fixture in strong recent form, as they have gone three without defeat in the Spanish top flight. However, draws have threatened to overshadow their recent progress, as they have been held on two occasions in their last five.
Their most recent draw was picked up away from home against Sevilla, with Betis failing to register a single shot on target. It was a strong defensive display on that occasion, and they were ultimately good value for a point. However, they will be without Juan Miranda for this home game after he was sent off against Sevilla on Sunday.
Getafe will also have a desperate need for maximum points this weekend, as they are still battling for their top-flight status. They come into this fixture sitting outside the bottom three on goal difference, meaning that they could drop into the relegation places this week if results go against them.
Their recent form would be a sizable concern for Getafe, as they have won just once over their previous five outings. Over that period, they have also suffered three defeats. However, they were able to end that slide on Saturday, as they played out a 1-1 draw against Elche. Their only goal in that home draw was netted by Munir El Haddadi.
Real Betis vs Getafe Head to Head
Real Betis comes into this match with a solid record against Getafe, as they have avoided defeat in each of their five previous clashes. They have also recorded three wins over that period. Betis has also won each of their last two home matches against Getafe, which includes a 2-0 win in September 2021.
Real Betis vs Getafe Prediction
Real Betis have been in reliable form throughout the second half of the season, and they will be expected to pick up maximum points against a Getafe side that is struggling for wins on Wednesday. We find it hard to overlook the hosts.
