Real Betis will entertain Getafe at the Estadio Benito Villamarín in a mid-table La Liga clash on Sunday.
The hosts recorded their eighth win of the season last week, as Sergi Altimira scored his first goal of the campaign in injury time of the first half, with Nabil Fekir picking up his first assist of the season. The win helped them climb to seventh place in the table.
The visitors met league leaders Real Madrid in their previous outing, suffering a 2-0 loss at home with Joselu bagging a brace. It was their third league defeat in four games this year and they'll look to improve upon that performance in this match. They are in 10th place in the league table, with 29 points from 22 games.

Real Betis vs Getafe Prediction
Los Verdiblancos have suffered three losses in their five games in 2024 thus far while recording two 1-0 wins. They have seen a drop in form at home recently, with just one win in their last five outings in all competitions. Nonetheless, they have scored in all but one of their 14 home games this term and should be able to find the back of the net in this match.
They completed the signings of Luiz Henrique, Chimy Ávila, Cedric Bakambu, and Pablo Fornals in the final stage of the transfer window. Head coach Manuel Pellegrini will only be able to count on the services of Henrique from the quartet as the Bakambu is at the 2023 AFCON with Congo DR while Ávila and Fornals are ineligible to play here.
Azulones have lost four of their six games in 2024 thus far, conceding at least twice in these defeats. They have lost just one of their last five away games, keeping two clean sheets, and will look to build on that form.
Enes Unal left the club on a surprise loan out to Bournemouth while Mauro Arambarri remains sidelined with an injury and is not an option for the match.
Considering the current form of the two teams and recent history, a low-scoring draw might ensue.
