European hopefuls Real Betis will host relegation-threatened Getafe in a La Liga fixture at Benito Villamarin on Wednesday night. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a goalless draw away to Sevilla in the weekend, while Getafe were forced to share the spoils against rock-bottom side Elche (1-1). As of now, Betis are occupying sixth spot in the Spanish top flight standings, having collected 56 points from 35 games, juts four adrift of fifth-placed Villarreal. The visitors, meanwhile, are languishing at the 18th position, with 35 points to their name, three adrift of 17th-placed Real Valladolid, who have played a game more.

The Seville derby on Sunday didn’t live up to the expectations as both sides played out a lacklustre goalless draw at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. The Green and Whites failed to register even a single shot on target in the entire 90 minutes of play, while Sevilla tested Claudio Bravo on several occasions and played the final few minutes with a man advantage following Juan Miranda’s sending-off. Prior to that, Manuel Pellegrini’s men recorded back-to-back victories against Athletic Bilbao (1-0) and Rayo Vallecano (3-1). Betis secured their 16th league-win of the season against Rayo almost ten days ago courtesy of goals from Youssouf Sabaly, Ayoze Perez and Borja Iglesias. Los Verdiblancos cannot afford to drop their guards in their remaining three top flight fixtures against Getafe (H), Girona (A) and Valencia (H) as seventh-placed Athletic Club is sitting just six points behind and have a better goal-difference.
Getafe, on the other hand, desperately need a victory in Seville as Valladolid, who are sitting on the edge of safe zone, defeated Barcelona 3-1 on Tuesday to move three points clear of the drop zone. However, Jorge Bordalas’s men have a better goal-difference than Valladolid, therefore taking three point on Wednesday will move them out of the relegation zone. Azulones would be disappointed not to take all three points against an already-relegated Elche last time out despite taking the lead through Munir EL Haddadi’s eighth-minute effort. Marea Azul have recorded just eight top flight victories this term and their latest success came against Celta Vigo earlier this month. Meanwhile, Getafe have lost their last four away-games in La Liga.
Real Betis probable starting lineup: Bravo, Sabaly, Pezzella, Felipe, Abner, Rodriguez, Akouokou, Juanmi, Canales, Perez, Iglesias
Getafe probable starting lineup: Soria, Mitrovic, Alderete, Djene, Suarez, Milla, Maksimovic, Iglesias, Alena, Unal, Munir
