- Competition: La Liga
- Date: 21st December 2025
- Kick-off: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Estadio de La Cartuja
Real Betis come into Sunday night with a pretty clear target in mind. Win and finish the match week inside the top six. Five points separates the two sides with Pellegrini’s men holding sixth and Getafe hovering in tenth. Bookmakers see this as a home win waiting to happen. However, the Blues will fancy their chances of taking four points from their last three trips to this stadium.

La Liga
Since 2021, Betis and Getafe have met nine times in La Liga, and the balance does lean green and white. Betis have won five of those games, including the last two, and managed four clean sheets along the way. Three matches ended level, while Getafe only found a single win. Goals have been in short supply overall, though. An average of 1.67 per game tells you these meetings tend to be tight, slightly scrappy, and often decided by small moments rather than fireworks.
Real Betis team overview
Betis fans haven’t had much to complain about lately. Los Verdiblancos have lost just once in their last 12 matches across all competitions and even that defeat came against Barcelona, a game where Betis still managed to score three.
That says something about their confidence going forward. Midweek, Pellegrini rotated heavily in the Copa del Rey and still saw his side comfortably dispatch Real Murcia. So fatigue shouldn’t be an excuse here. However, there’s a small concern at La Cartuja. Only one win from their last four league games at this venue hints at a slight dip in home sharpness.
Cucho Hernández is Betis’ go-to attacker and top scorer in the league with six goals so far. He’s expected to team up with Antony, who’s chipped in with five goals of his own in a quietly effective campaign.
Isco is still out with an ankle injury, missing more time as he recovers.

Getafe team overview
Getafe arrive in Seville in a very different mood. Los Azulones are on a three-game losing run and the low point was surely the 3-1 defeat to Segunda División side Burgos in the Copa del Rey.
That result raised eyebrows, even by Getafe’s sometimes chaotic standards. Bordalás’ side have also lost three of their last four away matches, and when you add their poor recent record against Betis, it’s hard to dress this up as anything other than a tough assignment for the travelling fans.
Goals have been a major issue. Getafe have scored just 13 in the league all season, with Borja Mayoral and Adrián Liso responsible for more than half of that total. Unsurprisingly, both are expected to start again on Sunday.
Luis Milla returns after serving a one-match ban following his red card against Villarreal, which should help in midfield. Discipline remains a concern, though. Another booking for Djené or Domingos Duarte would trigger a suspension.

Prediction
Real Betis should edge this with patience rather than flair. Pellegrini’s side are in better form, have lost once in 12 matches, and kept four clean sheets in the last nine meetings with Getafe. The Blues arrive short on confidence and goals, scoring once in five league games. One Betis goal may well decide it on Sunday night in Seville.
Four reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Only three of the last 12 meetings between Betis and Getafe produced more than two goals.
- Six of the last eight La Liga games of Getafe finished with just one goal scored.
- Only one of the last six league games of Real Betis produced more than two goals.
- Getafe have scored just once in their last five league outings.
