THE LOWDOWN
REAL BETIS
It was a very final day of the transfer window for Real Betis in midweek as the Andalusians added three interesting signings to their squad. Former Villarreal striker Cedric Bakambu joined from Galatasaray but he remains at the Africa Cup of Nations with the Democratic Republic of Congo. Chimy Avila also joined from Osasuna whilst Pablo Fornals eventually signed from West Ham.
Manuel Pellegrini, who once coached Fornals at West Ham and was at the club as he came through at Malaga, will be hoping those signings help Betis find some consistency as they challenge for another top seven finish and potentially a trophy in the UEFA Europa Conference League. They defeated Mallorca by a goal to nil away from home last weekend.
GETAFE
Coached by Jose Bordalas, who returned to the club last March, is aiming to get Getafe back into Europe like he did half a decade or so ago. The Madrid-based club begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting in the top-half of the table and they can move to within two points of their opponents with a victory on Saturday evening.
The visitors come into this one on the back of a fairly comfortable loss at home to city rivals Real Madrid in their most recent outing in midweek with a brace by Joselu in that game. Getafe have now suffered three defeats in their last four La Liga matches and they have managed just two wins in their last seven matches across all competitions.
THE TEAM NEWS
REAL BETIS
New signing Chimy Avila joins Real Betis’ fairly long injury list with the likes of Guido Rodriguez, Youssouf Sabaly and Marc Bartra among those unavailable.

UNAVAILABLE: Ruibal (Injured), Ayoze (Injured), Avila (Injured), Rodriguez (Injured), Sabaly (Injured), Bartra (Injured), Bakambu (International duty)
QUESTIONABLE: Bravo (Injured), Roca (Injured), Carvalho (Injured)
GETAFE
Getafe have just one injury concern for this weekend’s trip south to the Benito Villamarin with only Mauro Arambarri remaining unavailable for the visitors.
PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Soria; Suarez, Duarte, Alderete, Alvarez; Carmona, Djene, Milla, Maksimovic; Greenwood, Mayoral
UNAVAILABLE: Arambarri (Injured)

THE PREDICTION
This could be a genuinely fascinating clash as they both challenge for a top seven finish and potential European qualification this season. Real Betis’ aforementioned defeat of Real Mallorca last weekend means they have suffered just four defeats in their 22 matches so far this season. Getafe have a steady squad with a good coach but they are underperforming at the moment and Betis are the firm favourites for this one, especially with their home advantage and recent signings.
TIP: REAL BETIS TO WIN
