Bitesize Prediction: Real Betis vs Getafe – 18/09/24

Competition: La Liga

Market: Real Betis win

Odds: 10/11 @ 1xBet

Looking to secured back-to-back La Liga victories on Wednesday evening, Real Betis will welcome Getafe to the Estadio Benito Villamarin.

Starting with the hosts, while some in Real Betis’ camp might have been left frustrated last season by the way that they ended the 2023/24 campaign, they did secure another top-seven finish. Marking their return from September’s international break with a routine 2-0 victory at home against Leganes over the weekend, the former Manchester City boss will be calling on his squad to use that performance as a platform to build on. Officially booking a Europa Conference League group stage ticket last month as they stormed their way to a 5-0 aggregate win against Ukrainian outfit Kryvbas, Betis have lost just one of their first six appearances across all competitions. It should also be noted, despite a 2-0 loss at the hands of defending champions Real Madrid on September 1st, Wednesday’s hosts have recorded a clean sheet in each of their other four outings. Suffering just a sole defeat in front of their own supporters since returning from March’s international break, Pellegrini’s squad should be smelling a potential opportunity here.

As for the visitors, marking their return from September’s fortnight interval with a toothless 1-0 loss away at Sevilla, Getafe find themselves at the heart of what is a nightmare rut. Failing to win any of their first four La Liga appearances so far this season, Jose Bordalas’ men should be bracing themselves for another stern examination here. In fact, signing off last season by losing all of their final five top-flight battles by an aggregate score of 9-1, the Blues have now collected just a single point from any of their previous 10 consecutive La Liga matchups. Opening the midweek fixtures battling it out in the relegation zone, Getafe have also gained an unwanted reputation for their glaring struggles in the final third. In fact, Wednesday’s guests have recorded just a pair of goals since the end of April. Mustering just a single victory from any of their last seven showdowns against Real Betis across all competitions, we are backing a home win here.
