Real Betis vs Getafe Predictions

• Both teams have scored in six of Real Betis’ last eight home La Liga matches
• Both matches between these clubs finished 1-1 last season
• Real Betis impressed in a 2-0 win over Leganes last weekend while Getafe lost to Sevilla

Getafe get back on the bus to Seville

Getafe make the trip south to Seville for the second time in a few days when they take on Real Betis at Estadio Benito Villamarin on Wednesday.

This match was postponed earlier this season to aid Betis’ attempt to reach the UEFA Conference League and they duly did by beating Kryvbas KR 3-0.

They followed that result with a creditable but inevitable 2-0 loss at Real Madrid, but bounced back nicely with a win by the same score at home to Leganes last weekend.

Pellegrini’s side share goals at home 

Manuel Pellegrini’s side are more dynamic than in the past and remain packed with experience in the middle of the pitch. They should be able to pick up all three points against a Getafe side that have not had the rub of the green to their way this term.

One example of their misfortune came at the Sanchez Pizjuan on Saturday when Christanus Uche dinked a lovely finish beyond the advancing goalkeeper only to see it hit the post and go wide.

Jose Bordelas’ side press high and defend close to the half-way line too – a high-risk strategy which makes it even more remarkable that their matches this season have featured so few goals. This one should be a cracker and backing both teams to score has merit based on Betis’ recent home results with six of the last eight seeing goals at both ends.
