What we said beforehand
Betis host Getaway at the Estadio Benito Villamarín on 17 September 2026 in a La Liga clash that could tighten the race for European places. Betis sit fifth in the table with 12 points from five games and a +1 goal difference, just one point behind Sevilla and two ahead of Deportivo Alavés. Getafe are down at 15th, also on five points but with a –3 goal difference, level with Levante above them and a point clear of Celta Vigo below. Both teams are looking to move away from the middle of the table – Betis to keep their European hopes alive and Getaway to pull clear of the relegation zone.
Betis arrive on the back of three straight wins, the most recent being a 1-0 home victory over Real Madrid. In their last eight matches they have won six, lost two and have not drawn any. The sequence includes a 2-1 away win at Villarreal, a 3-2 away triumph over Lille, the 1-0 win over Madrid, a 5-2 defeat at Levante, a 1-0 win away at Valencia and a 1-0 home win over Sociedad. In those eight games they have scored 13 and let in 12, keeping three clean sheets. Five of the fixtures produced three or more goals and both sides found the net in five of them. Their three home games in this run have all been wins, showing a strong record in front of their own fans, even though they are playing again after only three days’ rest.
Getafe come into the match after two consecutive 1-1 draws, first at home against La Coruña and then against Celta Vigo. Over their last eight outings they have won three, drawn two and lost three. Their recent results are a 1-0 home win over Santander, a 3-0 away loss to Alavés, a 1-0 home victory over Osasuna and a 1-0 away defeat to Osasuna. On the road they have not managed a point in three games, losing each. In total they have scored seven and conceded eight in the eight-match stretch, keeping two clean sheets while failing to score in three matches. Only two of those games saw three or more goals, and both sides scored in three of them. Like Betis, Getaway are also on a short turnaround, having played four days ago.
The two clubs have met five times in recent seasons. Betis have the edge with three wins, Getaway one win and one draw. Those encounters have averaged 2.8 goals per game, suggesting they are not shy of finding the net. The most recent meeting was a 2-0 win for Getaway on 8 March 2026, showing they can win at Betis’ ground. Given the current form – Betis on a winning streak and Getaway on two draws – the game is likely to be tight and low-scoring, with both sides capable of keeping things close.
Our pick is over 1.5 goals. The expected goal totals are 1.3 for Betis and 0.7 for Getaway, adding up to about 2.1 goals in the match. The chance of both teams scoring is decent, and two goals would be enough to win the bet about 67 % of the time. The price of 1.37 is shorter than our reading, so it looks attractive. For the pick to fail, the game would have to finish 0-0 or 1-0, which would require both defenses to shut out the opposition and the expected goal chances not to materialise. If the match stays as tight as the numbers suggest, we expect at least two goals to come.
