Match Preview
Real Betis looks really impressive in recent weeks as they enjoy early into the season firstly winning at home against Real Madrid, then picking up all three points in the Champions League away to Lille - but also confirming the momentum once again in latest 1:2 victory on the road to Villarreal last weekend.
Even though they stood behind in the scoreline and had less of the possession, Betis fully deserved all three with great spirit and perfect transitioning game deserving to score even more. Defender Llorente (2/0) and forward Ruibal are out for the hosts.
Getafe comes from their fourth competitive game without a victory, being unable to justify the role of a favorite in a 1:1 clash at home against Deportivo A Coruna last weekend.
They did have some decent offensive moves, however overall, it was simply too little for them as Deportivo had more of the possession and looked slightly better throughout the clash. The guests will miss defenders Abqar (2/0), Garcia (4/0), Kiko (3/0), midfielder Uche and forward Juanmi.
Getafe is far from a positive start in Primera and they'll obviously have a really difficult time repeating similar performances from the previous season when they earned European exit. Real Betis is on a really nice momentum, and it gets even better for them in front of their own fans. The visitors simply don't seem like a team confident or coherent enough to stop the opponent this time.

Statistical Context

Real Betis average 1.16 xG at home, while Getafe average 0.58 xG away. These figures are based on only 2 home and 2 away matches, so they should be viewed as early statistical context rather than a confirmed trend.
Warnings
4 of Getafe's last 5 matches have ended with Under 2.5 Goals.
Real Betis have won both of their home matches without conceding, while Getafe have yet to win away from home in their 2 away matches. With such a small sample, these figures should be treated with caution.
