Real Betis vs Getafe prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 21, 2025
One of the headline fixtures of La Liga's 18th round will take place this Sunday at the Benito Villamarín in Seville, where local side Real Betis host Getafe. I'm backing a home win here, with the hosts boasting strong chances of success.
Match preview
Betis remain firmly in the hunt for European places, currently sitting sixth in the standings despite an inconsistent run in the league. The team hasn't celebrated a La Liga victory since late November, but their performances in the Copa del Rey and Europa League have been far more convincing.
The Green-and-Whites are especially formidable at home, collecting 13 points from eight matches at the Benito Villamarín. Their recent Copa del Rey win over Murcia could be the spark they need to kickstart another winning streak in the league, particularly given last season's double triumph over Getafe.
As for Getafe, the visitors are scrapping for a mid-table spot, but recent weeks have been a nightmare—three consecutive defeats in all competitions. Their early Copa del Rey exit at the hands of Burgos was a particular disappointment, compounded by league losses to Villarreal and, most notably, at home to Espanyol.
Their away record doesn’t inspire confidence either: just three wins in eight matches, with inconsistency exacerbated by ongoing squad issues. Head-to-head history is also against Getafe, with only one win in their last nine meetings with Betis.
Probable lineups
- Real Betis: Vallés, Ruibal, Bartra, Natan, Rodriguez, Deossa, Roca, Anthony, Fornals, Riquelme, Hernandez
- Getafe: Soria, Femenía, Duarte, Djené, Rico, Iglesias, Milla, Arambarri, Sancris, Liso, Mayoral
Match facts and head-to-head
- Getafe have lost their last three matches in all competitions.
- Betis are unbeaten in five of their last six La Liga fixtures.
- Last season, Betis beat Getafe twice by the same 2-1 scoreline.
Prediction
Betis may have some injury concerns, but their squad depth and home reliability remain intact. Getafe are on a downward spiral and are unlikely to halt a more organized Betis side. The optimal bet here is "Betis double chance & under 3.5 goals" at 1.50.
