The La Liga Round 17 match between Betis and Getafe will take place on 21 December at the Olympic Stadium in Seville. Betis vs Getafe: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Betis
On Monday the side shared the points with Rayo Vallecano (0-0). That result ended Betis's five-match scoring run in La Liga and marked the club's seventh draw of the season, leaving the Seville outfit among the most draw-prone teams in the division. Manuel Pellegrini's men have won just one of their last five Primera encounters (three draws, one defeat). On the other hand, since early November Betis have lost only to a formidable Barcelona (3-5). Still, a shortage of victories has seen the team fall well short of the Champions League places; they are currently five points off fifth.
- The hosts have scored in 26 of their last 27 home league matches.
- The club have conceded no more than one goal in five of their last six games in this competition.
- Betis remain unbeaten in 13 of their last 16 matches this La Liga season (6 wins, 7 draws).
Predicted lineups for Betis (4-2-3-1)
Alvaro Valles – Ricardo Rodriguez, Diego Llorente, Nathan, Aitor Ruibal – Nelson Deossa, Marc Roca – Antony Matheus, Pablo Fornals, Rodrigo Riquelme – Kucho Hernandez.
Unavailable due to fitness issues: midfielder Isco, and defenders Diego Llorente and Junior Firpo.
Getafe
The club sit in mid-table, but recent form is underwhelming. In the last five rounds of the Primera, Getafe have collected only one victory — against Elche (1-0) — and lost the other fixtures, all by clean sheets. Across the current La Liga campaign Jose Bordalas's side have scored just 13 goals, a tally bettered by only Oviedo (7). Getafe occupy 10th place, yet they are five points adrift of both sixth and the relegation zone.
- At least one side failed to score in five of Getafe's last La Liga matches.
- The club have been involved in nine consecutive decisive matches in this competition (3 wins, 6 defeats).
- The team have failed to score more than one goal in six successive away league games.

David Soria – Kiko Femenia, Abdel Abkar, Domingos Duarte, Diego Rico – Djene, Mauro Arambarri, Juan Iglesias, Alex Sanczis – Adrian Liso, Mario Martin.
Key midfielder Luis Milla has returned from suspension. Defender Davinchi is unavailable due to injury.

Betis vs Getafe: Match Prediction
Betis are one of the toughest sides to beat in La Liga. The Seville outfit have avoided defeat in five of their last six league matches (1 win, 3 draws) and have suffered only three defeats across 16 rounds. Notably, the teams that have beaten Pellegrini's side this season are all positioned in the top part of the table. At the same time, Betis's matches are not always high-scoring affairs: in four of their last five La Liga games there were at most two goals.
Jose Bordalas's Getafe are the kings of low-scoring matches. No more than two goals have been scored in five of their recent La Liga fixtures, and in four of those five games there was only one goal. The club's form has clearly dipped — in the last five rounds they picked up points only in the home win over Elche (1-0). On the road, Getafe have lost five of their last six league away matches.
Prediction – Betis to win or draw and under 2.5 goals
