Betis vs Getafe prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-12-20 20:00.
[p]Real Betis’ top-six push is increasingly under threat after a poor run, with Getafe one of the sides in pursuit of them in an open race for European qualification.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Real Betis have collected just two La Liga wins since the October break (D3, L2), and have fallen a long way off the pace of the top four as a result. Betis have knockout European football to look forward to in 2026, and as they’re still four points better off than the same stage last term, veteran boss Manuel Pellegrini will be confident of correcting their course here. Three of Los Verdiblancos’ four La Liga home victories this season were accompanied by a clean sheet, but they’ve failed to win their last two such fixtures (D1, L1) and could lose back-to-back league games as hosts for the first time since February 2023.[/p]
[p]In the top six as recently as October, Getafe have since been one of the league’s worst-performing teams, scoring only one goal across five La Liga matches (W1, L4). Thoughts of progression towards the European places have been replaced by fears of dropping out of the top-half altogether, and with boss José Bordalás reportedly being sounded out by suitors elsewhere in Europe, a resurgence is much-needed here. The Azulones have been all or nothing on the road in the league this term (W3, L5), yet with all three victories coming against sides starting the round above them, they should travel with belief. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
