Real Betis vs Getafe Prediction - Sep 17, 2026

Real Betis vs Getafe Prediction and Betting Preview

Our Real Betis vs Getafe Prediction points toward a home victory when the teams meet on Thursday, September 17, 2026. This La Liga Matchday 6 fixture starts at 18:00 GMT, with Betis hosting at Seville’s Estadio de La Cartuja rather than their usual Benito Villamarín home.

Betis form brings confidence and selection questions

Manuel Pellegrini’s side arrive in excellent spirits. Betis earned a hard-fought 2-1 victory away to Villarreal on September 14, winning despite having only 40% possession. Their 17 shots, compared with Villarreal’s ten, showed how quickly and efficiently they can attack when space appears.

That result followed a Champions League success against Lille, in which Marc Bartra and Troy Parrott scored. Betis also produced a major upset on September 4, beating Real Madrid 1-0 at odds of 6.20. Confidence is high, although this will be their second match in a demanding run of three games across seven days. Pellegrini may therefore rotate his starting eleven.

Facundo Bernal has recently provided balance between midfield and defence, making his role especially valuable against Getafe’s direct approach. Ez Abde is available again after influenza, while Diego Llorente has trained in a protective mask following a broken nose. Aitor Ruibal and Ismael Barea remain injured, with Antony and Juan Hernández considered doubtful.

Getafe prepare to make the evening uncomfortable

Getafe enter the round in 15th place after a frustrating opening to the campaign. José Bordalás’s team drew 1-1 with Deportivo La Coruña on September 13, controlling much of the game but again failing to turn enough chances into goals.

A compact 4-4-2 should be used to close central areas, break Betis’s rhythm and compete aggressively for second balls. However, injuries have reduced Bordalás’s options. Christantus Uche is expected to miss the season after suffering serious knee damage in pre-season. Getafe can still spring surprises: they defeated Real Madrid 1-0 away in March at remarkable odds of 11.00.
