Key Players

Real Betis – Cucho Hernández: After scoring against Villarreal, Cucho will be looking to continue his good form in front of goal.

Getafe – Ramón Terrats: Terrats has provided an attacking threat from midfield and will need to help Getafe create chances against a confident Betis side.

Team News

Pellegrini is expected to rotate his lineup after a demanding run of fixtures. Antony could return to the starting XI, while Troy Parrott is also in contention to lead the attack. Diego Llorente remains unavailable.

Getafe have several injury concerns, including Kiko, Francho Serrano, Abdel Abqar, Chrisantus Uche and Juanmi. Zaid Romero is available again after suspension.

What to Watch

Betis' attacking movement against Getafe's compact defensive structure should be the key tactical battle. Betis have scored seven goals in their opening five league matches, while Getafe have managed only three.

The visitors will also need to avoid conceding early. Betis have shown they can control games when they take the lead, particularly during their recent victories over Real Madrid and Villarreal.

Who Has the Chance?

Getafe are capable of making the game difficult, but Betis' current form and home advantage give them plenty of confidence. Pellegrini's side have won four of their first five league matches and will be looking to keep their strong run going.

Prediction: Real Betis 2-0 Getafe

Betis should control possession and create the better chances. Getafe may keep the score close for periods, but the hosts have enough attacking quality to secure another three points.
