Real Betis is set to face Getafe CF at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez this Sunday, aiming for their fifth win in recent visits. Historically, Betis has claimed two victories and drawn two in their last four trips to this venue. Last season, they achieved a notable 1-2 victory, with two goals from Isco.
Betis’ Opportunity to Strengthen Their Position
This match offers Betis a crucial opportunity to extend their lead in the race for the fifth position. Following recent defeats suffered by Celta, Real Sociedad, and Athletic, a victory against Getafe could distance them by six points from Celta, whom they will face next at La Cartuja. Betis could also increase their lead to eleven points over both Basque teams.
Currently, Betis sits comfortably in the league after gathering eleven points over the last five games, showcasing their strength in the second half of the season. In contrast, Getafe, under manager José Bordalás, has accumulated ten points during the same period. A win for Getafe would place them firmly in contention for European spots.
