Our prediction for Betis vs Getafe
The "Verdiblancos" have continued a gradual decline in their standing from last season. The rise of Girona and Athletic has cast doubt on their place in European competitions, but they eventually secured seventh place, edging Villarreal. As for Getafe, during the previous campaign, Pepe Bordalás returned as head coach, which immediately had a positive impact on the team’s results. From fighting relegation, they managed to comfortably finish in 12th place with 43 points—10 more than the highest-placed relegation-threatened side.
Several well-known players have left Seville. Rodri Sánchez departed for Qatar in September, leaving Betis unable to sign a replacement due to the closed European transfer window—though they couldn't turn down a €9 million offer. Additionally, Isco, who had a standout season last year, is undergoing a second surgery, and it’s uncertain if he’ll return to football at all. Despite this, the club signed some notable names, including Adrián, Ricardo Rodríguez, Víctor Roque, and Lo Celso. Getafe, meanwhile, sold Gastón Álvarez Sosa to Saudi Arabia, said goodbye to Choco Lozano and Fuzato, and brought in several relatively unknown players, with Berrocal being the most expensive acquisition at €2.2 million from Eibar.
Bordalás' side has started the season with a string of draws—1-1 against Athletic, 0-0 with Rayo Vallecano and Real Sociedad, and a 0-1 loss to Sevilla in their last match. Betis confidently advanced to the Conference League group stage, defeating Kryvbas twice. However, in La Liga, they’ve drawn against Girona and Alavés and suffered a 0-2 defeat to Real Madrid in Madrid. Their only convincing win came at home against Leganés, where they secured a 2-0 victory.
