Form and Injury Updates

Real Betis earned a comeback 2-1 win at Villarreal recently, marking their third consecutive victory. They have won five of six competitive matches so far. With 12 points from 15 possible, Manuel Pellegrini's squad sits third in the table, trailing second-placed Real Madrid by three points but holding a tiebreaker advantage due to an earlier win over Los Blancos this season.

Aitor Ruibal remains sidelined with a meniscus injury, the only absentee for Betis. They boast two home wins this campaign.

Getafe has struggled away, losing all three away matches across competitions. They drew their last two home games 1-1, including against Deportivo La Coruna, and are currently on a four-game winless streak with just one league win from five matches.

Jose Bordalas, the coach, cannot field Christantus Uche (ACL), Juanmi (knee), Abdel Abqar (muscle), or Kiko Femenia (hamstring) due to injuries.

Interestingly, Getafe won the last meeting between these clubs but lost three of the previous four encounters.
