Getafe v Real Betis

Getafe vs Real Betis Preview

Getafe extended their unbeaten run in the Spanish top flight to six games last Friday night when they registered an impressive 2-1 win away from home at Girona which not only became a fourth win in six games in La Liga but also helped the hosts up into 13th place in the Spanish top flight table.

Real Betis bounced back from a previous 3-2 loss away from home at Celta Vigo last weekend in the domestic top flight when they recorded a 3-0 home win against Real Sociedad and the visitors will be keen to make it back-to-back wins when they make their way to the Estadio Coliseum on Sunday evening.

Recent victories against Las Palmas, Real Sociedad, Alaves and Girona have helped lift Getafe further away from the bottom three clubs at the base of the La Liga table and indeed, the hosts now find themselves just five points adrift of the top six pack as well.

This recent flurry of victories will have certainly been well received by everyone connected with Getafe as the hosts had previously endured a tough run of results in the domestic top flight which saw José Bordalás's side slip to five defeats within their preceding seven games.

Real Betis may have returned to winning ways last weekend in La Liga by producing a resounding 3-0 home win against Real Sociedad but league wins in general have been hard to come by for Manuel Pellegrini's side in recent times.

Indeed, Real Betis have managed to collect just three wins from their last 13 matches overall in the Spanish top flight, the other two victories being wins against Villarreal and Mallorca, both of which were away from home.

However, Real Betis have also slipped to five defeats within these previous 13 games with defeats at the hands of Valencia, Real Sociedad, Real Valladolid, Alaves and Celta Vigo respectively, so the prospects of the visitors picking up all three points against an improving Getafe outfit on Sunday evening looks fairly unlikely.

The bigger picture shows Real Betis have managed to capture just three wins from their previous 14 outings on the road and having also been dealt six defeats along the way as well, Manuel Pellegrini's side look to have their work cut out ahead of Sunday's clash at the Estadio Coliseum.

In addition, Real Betis have managed to keep just three clean sheets in these previous 14 away games in La Liga which may just play nicely into Getafe's hands.

Getafe v Real Betis Verdict

Getafe's recent results have shown a vast improvement in La Liga and the hosts look the more likely to take the spoils against a poor-travelling Real Betis outfit on Sunday.
