Betis on the front foot
Los Verdiblancos come into this game on the back of a run of 4 wins in 5, following up a 1-0 LaLiga win over Real Madrid with a 3-2 success over Lille in the Champions League, to make a big statement. Betis have had a few different faces over the years, but Manuel Pellegrini has moulded this one in his own image since taking over in August 2020, with patient possession-based football and a well-structured midfield.
Getafe are another team with a very clear identity, compact and full of bite in high-intensity football, which Pepe Bordalas has been fine-tuning since coming in April 2023.
Blue and whites have edge
With this game played at Estadio de La Cartuja, Spain, the odds are heavily in favor of Real Betis at 1.85, while the draw is 3.3 and Getafe are as high as 4.4.
I do think the clear favorites are likelier to win this, but the Azulones are a feisty team who will give it a go and keep this in upset territory for a while. Betis have won 3 and drawn 1 of the last 5 meetings and will want to regain the advantage, but Getafe edged the reverse fixture 2-0 back in LaLiga 2025/2026.

Betting angles
The odds for both teams to score and under 2.5 goals are quite low considering the nature of these teams and I think we're going to see a similar script for this one. Both Teams To Score – No at 1.73 and Under 2.5 Goals at 1.62 are both my selections.
Players to back
- Enes Unal is the main man for Getafe up top in Spain's top-flight, he leads their scoring charts with 1 goal in 4, but has scored 2 of their total 5 in the last 5, so he's the best option to get on the scoresheet anytime.
- Rodrigo Riquelme is Betis' top marksman with 2 in 4, while Marc Bartra has scored 3 goals during their run of 5 matches, so back either of these men to find the net.
