Real Betis are the clear favorites here, holding a six-point lead over Getafe and benefiting from a much more potent attack. While Getafe have lost three straight games and scored only 13 goals all season, Betis are averaging 1.62 xG per match and have scored 25 goals. The home side's ability to strike first—doing so in 94% of their games—is likely to force Getafe out of their defensive shell, a situation the visitors have struggled to manage lately. Expect Betis' technical quality to prevail at the Benito Villamarín.
▾
This scoreline reflects the combination of Betis' attacking efficiency and Getafe's offensive limitations. Betis score roughly 1.5 goals per game and are facing a Getafe side that has failed to score in many of their recent defeats. Given that Getafe’s primary tactic is to remain compact, they rarely concede four or five, but their lack of a clinical edge makes a shutout for the home side very plausible. A 2-0 result is a common outcome for a dominant home side against a mid-table opponent struggling for goals.

With 13 scored and 18 conceded, Getafe’s numbers point to matches where chances are often at a premium and margins matter.
Can Real Betis turn control into clarity against a stubborn Getafe?
From a table perspective, it’s a proper “edge of the European places meets stubborn mid-table” kind of evening. Real Betis sit sixth, while Getafe are 10th on 20 points from their opening 17 matches. There’s not much breathing space around Betis either, with Athletic Club Bilbao just two points back in seventh, which gives the home side a little extra bite: win, and they keep their grip; wobble, and it gets crowded fast.
The shapes on paper hint at a game of contrasts. Betis have plenty of ball-playing and technical options in their possible XI, while Getafe’s likely set-up looks built to travel: a compact back line, a busy midfield line, and two forwards who can make the night uncomfortable if the moments fall their way. It won’t take long for this one to show its character. Betis have been producing chances at a healthy clip; Getafe, by contrast, haven’t been filling the net freely. Somewhere between those two truths sits the match.
Team News and Likely Set-Ups
Real Betis possible starting lineup: Valles; Ruibal, Bartra, Natan, Rodriguez; Deossa, Roca; Antony, Fornals, Riquelme; Hernandez.
That reads like a side designed to play between lines and arrive in waves. With Deossa and Roca listed as the double pivot, Betis look set for a stable base to circulate possession and set the platform for the three behind the striker. Antony, Fornals and Riquelme give them three distinct ways to progress: direct running, combination play, and receiving on the half-turn in pockets that force defenders into decisions they’d rather avoid. Up top, Hernandez is the reference point — and crucially, a finisher with proven end product this season.
Getafe possible starting lineup: Soria; Femenia, Duarte, Djene, Rico; Iglesias, Milla, Arambarri, Sancris; Liso, Mayoral.
That looks like a team built for structure first. A back four screened by a four-man midfield suggests Getafe are comfortable defending in blocks, protecting central space, and asking the opposition to beat them by being patient and accurate rather than just enthusiastic. With Mayoral named as a likely starter, there’s a clear focal point for outlet play, while Liso alongside him hints at a second forward who can run channels and chase the next phase once the ball goes long or breaks loose.
How the Match Could Be Played
The first question is simple: can Betis turn their control into clean chances without handing Getafe the transition moments they want?
Betis’ likely midfield pairing of Deossa and Roca suggests they’ll try to keep the ball moving quickly enough to pull Getafe’s four across, then find the pass that slices into the space behind that midfield line. The trio of Antony, Fornals and Riquelme can rotate positions to make that harder to track. If one drops inside to overload central areas, another can hold width and stretch the line, and suddenly a compact block has to decide whether to shuffle, step, or stay. Those are the moments that create half-a-yard — and half-a-yard is usually all Hernandez needs.
Getafe, though, look set to make the middle of the pitch a negotiation. With Iglesias, Milla and Arambarri in the likely midfield four, there’s a natural sense of numbers and protection. Expect them to prioritise denying passes into the feet of Betis’ three creators, and to funnel play wide where full-backs can engage and the line can shift as a unit. If Betis are forced into a steady diet of crosses and second balls, Getafe can live with that, especially if they keep their distances tight and win the first contact.
Without overreaching into specifics that aren’t stated, the broad dynamic is clear: Betis’ creators want to receive facing goal; Getafe’s defenders want them receiving with back to goal, ideally near the touchline, with a second man ready to squeeze. That’s where the personal battles start to matter. If Antony can isolate his full-back and turn it into repeated 1v1s, Betis can turn territory into danger quickly. If Getafe can double up, delay, and force recycled attacks, the match slows — and that suits the visitors.
Then there’s the other side of the story: what happens when Betis lose it?
A team that commits attackers into advanced pockets inevitably leaves spaces behind the ball. Getafe’s likely front two of Liso and Mayoral gives them a route to test those spaces, even if their main objective is simply to get up the pitch and breathe. A well-timed run into the channel, a clipped ball into a forward’s chest, a second runner arriving from midfield — those are the sequences that can flip momentum, win fouls, and pin a home side back for a spell.
The game state will shape the tone, too. Betis, with the table pressure of staying sixth, will want the first goal to turn control into comfort. Getafe, coming off a run of defeats, will want the first “quiet” half-hour — no gifts, no early chase, no frantic football. If they get that, the contest becomes one of patience and nerve.

The Numbers That Support the Story
Betis’ league position is backed up by their output over 16 matches: 25 goals scored and 19 conceded for a +6 goal difference. That matters because it hints at a side that can win games without needing everything to be perfect — they’re not relying on a single, fragile path to victory.
Their chance creation indicators also point to a team that plays in the right areas. Betis’ xG for per match sits at 1.62, with xG against at 1.39, which suggests they are generally generating the better chances while still allowing the opposition a route into matches. Tie that to the volume — 14.75 shots per match, 4.81 on target — and you get a picture of a side that asks questions consistently. It doesn’t guarantee a breakthrough, but it does explain why Betis can spend long stretches camped in the opponent’s half: they have enough attacking actions to keep the pressure cycling.
Getafe’s league numbers tell a different story. They are 10th with 20 points, and their goals column reads 13 scored and 18 conceded across 16 matches for a -5 goal difference. That’s a relatively modest scoring return, and it shapes how they’re likely to approach the night: keep it organised, keep it close, and try to make the decisive moments come from a small number of high-leverage situations rather than an end-to-end shoot-out.
Even the game’s likely rhythm is hinted at in Betis’ broader match profile. Their average match goals figure is 2.75, and both teams to score has landed in 63% of their league matches overall. Interpreted carefully, that says Betis matches often feature at least a goal either way — not necessarily chaos, but enough openings at both ends for concentration to matter, especially when the game turns on transitions and second phases.
Key “Moments” to Watch
One moment to keep an eye on is how early Betis can connect their midfield base to the three behind Hernandez. If Deossa and Roca are receiving without pressure, Betis can pick their passes and move Getafe around until the gaps appear. If Getafe’s midfield line can step at the right times, disrupt the first pass forward, and force Betis into slower circulation, the home side may find themselves attacking a set block more often than they’d like.
Another swing factor is the finishing platform around Hernandez. He leads Betis’ scoring chart with six league goals, while Antony is close behind on five and Fornals has three. That spread matters because it reduces predictability: shut down one route, and there’s still another. For Getafe, the task is not only to defend the penalty area, but to stop the edge-of-box and cutback zones where second-wave finishers tend to arrive.
Then there’s the emotional temperature of the match. Getafe come in trying to halt a run of defeats, which can produce two very different performances: either a controlled, stripped-back display where the basics are done relentlessly well, or a nervous one where small errors multiply. Betis, meanwhile, have the table incentive to be assertive — but assertive without being reckless. If they overcommit and lose their rest-defence shape, those Getafe counters towards Mayoral and Liso become far more than just time-buyers.
What could go wrong with this read? Football rarely follows the neat script of “possession side controls, compact side resists.” A single early goal can flip everything: a low block becomes a higher line, a patient approach becomes rushed, and the game turns into a sequence of moments rather than a steady tactical argument. One loose pass, one misjudged duel, one deflection, and the match can swing away from the patterns everyone expected to see.

Real Betis to win
Real Betis are well-positioned to secure all three points on Sunday, primarily due to the significant disparity in current form and goal-scoring efficiency between the two sides. The home side enters this fixture sitting sixth in La Liga, having established a stable campaign with 25 goals scored and a positive goal difference. In contrast, Getafe are struggling to find any momentum, arriving at the Benito Villamarín on the back of three consecutive defeats in all competitions. This slide has left them in 10th place, and their offensive output remains a major concern, having managed only 13 goals in 16 league matches—nearly half the tally of their hosts.
The statistical data further supports a home victory. Betis generate a high volume of attacking pressure, averaging 14.75 shots per match with an expected goals (xG) per game of 1.62. This persistent threat is likely to eventually breach a Getafe defense that, while structurally organized, has conceded 1.88 goals per match over their recent fixtures. Furthermore, Betis possess a more diversified attacking threat; while Getafe rely heavily on Borja Mayoral, Betis boast multiple clinical options including Cucho Hernandez, who leads their scoring with six goals, and Antony, who follows closely with five.
Getafe’s away record offers little encouragement for an upset, as they have struggled to impose themselves when traveling. Their shot conversion rate and overall chance creation are significantly lower than those of Betis, making it difficult for them to chase a game if they fall behind. With Betis scoring first in a remarkable 94% of their league matches, the most likely scenario involves the home side taking an early lead and utilizing their technical superiority in midfield—anchored by Deossa and Roca—to control the tempo and see out the win against a demoralized Getafe outfit.
What could go wrong Getafe’s primary strength lies in their defensive block and their ability to make matches “scruffy.” If they can maintain their discipline for the first hour and frustrate Betis’ creative players like Fornals and Riquelme, the home side may become impatient and leave gaps for Mayoral to exploit on the counter. Additionally, Betis matches have a high rate of both teams scoring (63%), suggesting Getafe are likely to get at least one clear opportunity.
Correct score lean
2-0
Rationale
A 2-0 victory for Real Betis is the most logical scoreline given the defensive and offensive profiles of both teams. Betis score an average of 1.56 goals per match, while Getafe struggle significantly in front of goal, averaging just 0.81. Historically, Getafe’s strategy involves sitting deep, which often limits the scoreline even in defeat. However, with Betis averaging nearly five shots on target per game and Getafe failing to score in several of their recent losses, a comfortable two-goal cushion for the hosts—who have a 35% clean sheet rate—aligns with the expectation of home dominance without a reply from the visitors.
