Real Betis claimed a 2-0 victory over Leganes in their final league match before the international break, rebounding from a loss to Real Madrid in their prior game. They have shown strong form in the UEFA Conference League, comfortably defeating Kryvbas both home and away in the qualifying round. Betis will be aiming for another win, having managed just one victory alongside two draws and a loss in their four league matches this season.
Getafe have had a tough start since the season began in August. They suffered a 1-0 defeat to Sevilla before the break, following a streak of three consecutive draws in their opening games. Both teams have struggled recently, with their last two league meetings ending in 1-1 draws. Getafe’s poor form suggests they are unlikely to win this match and may face another defeat at the Benito Villamarín.

Real Betis vs. Getafe: Team News
Earlier this month, Real Betis midfielder Isco underwent a second surgery for a leg injury he picked up at the end of last season, pushing his expected return to January. William Carvalho will be out for the remainder of the 2024-25 season after rupturing his right Achilles tendon during Friday’s win over Leganes.
Joining Isco and Carvalho on the injury list is defender Marc Bartra, but Cedric Bakambu and Juanmi have recovered from their injuries and should be available for the matchday squad. Roque might be given his first start for Betis after coming off the bench and scoring against Leganes.
For Getafe, defender Omar Alderete may miss a second consecutive match due to a knee injury sustained during international duty with Paraguay. The visitors could also be without Nabil Aberdin, Borja Mayoral, and Real Madrid loanee Alvaro Rodriguez, the latter still awaiting his debut after arriving late in the transfer window. With Getafe struggling for goals, manager Bordalas might opt to shake up the attack by bringing in Peter Federico.
Possible Starting Lineups
Real Betis possible starting lineup: Silva, Bellerin, Llorente, Natan, Rodriguez; Cardoso, Altimira; Fornals, Lo Celso, Abde; Roque
Getafe possible starting lineup: Soria; Iglesias, Djene, Berrocal, Rico; Uche, Arambarri, Milla; Perez, Peter, Yildirim
Real Betis vs. Getafe: Prediction
Real Betis have won three of their last five matches across all competitions, including two victories in the Europa Conference League.
