Real Betis returns home Thursday looking to keep pace near the top of the La Liga table when Getafe visits Benito Villamarín. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
Manuel Pellegrini‘s side has stacked 12 points through its first five league matches, winning four times while scoring seven goals and conceding six. The most encouraging part of the opening month has been Betis’ ability to respond after its lone setback. A 5-2 loss at Levante was followed by a 1-0 win over Real Madrid, a 3-2 Champions League victory at Lille and Sunday’s 2-1 road win over Villarreal. Betis has now won four straight matches across all competitions.
Getafe arrives with a very different profile. José Bordalás‘ team has one win, two draws and two defeats through five league matches, collecting five points while scoring just three times. They’ve now drawn 1-1 in each of the club’s last two league matches against Celta Vigo and Deportivo La Coruña after losing 1-0 at Osasuna. The club’s only league victory thus far came in a 1-0 result against Racing Santander.
Getafe did have some success in this matchup last season. Bordalás’ side earned a 2-0 home win over Betis in March, avenging a 4-0 defeat at Benito Villamarín earlier in the campaign.

Best Bet for Real Betis vs. Getafe
Hard Rock Bet’s Stats Hub highlights streaks, trends and other important insights for every game on the La Liga schedule. Here’s one angle that stood out for this afternoon’s match:
Both Teams to Score – No (-135): Both Teams to Score has failed to hit in each of Getafe’s last nine La Liga matches as an underdog.
Getafe has done little through the first five league matches to push us away from that trend. Bordalás’ side has scored only three goals, and its lone victory came via a 1-0 final. Even during its current two-match unbeaten run, Getafe has managed only one goal in each contest.
Pellegrini’s team, on the other hand, has more than enough attacking options to control the match at home – but Betis has not needed huge offensive performances to win this season. Two of its four league victories have come with only one goal.
There is also some support in the recent series. Three of the last four meetings between these clubs have seen at least one side held scoreless, including both matchups last season: Betis’ 4-0 home win and Getafe’s 2-0 victory in March.
Back Both Teams to Score – No (-135) as the best bet for Thursday’s matchup.
