Getafe will seek to extend their unbeaten record in La Liga to seven games at home to Real Betis at Coliseum Alfonso PRErez on Sunday night, February 23 or Monday on WIB. The hosts are currently 13th in the standings with impressive performance, while Real Betis is in eighth place with a two-point lead over Getafe.

This season was a nightmare for Getafe, who had slumped in the relegation zone. However, since their last defeat on December 21,

A consecutive victory over Alaves and Girona brought Getafe away from the red zone. Now, they have 29 points from 24 matches, seven points ahead of the relegation zone and only five points behind the sixth position occupied by Rayo Vallecano.

The main factor in Getafe's revival is the solidness of their defense. With just conceding 18 goals in 24 games, they have a record second best defense in La Liga after Atletico Madrid (16).

At home, Getafe is difficult to beat, only losing two defeats in 12 matches. However, they also often have difficulty winning, with seven matches ending in a draw.

Real Betis has just played a match in Europe, losing 1-0 to Gent in the second leg of the League Conference play-offs. However, that result has no effect as they still qualify for the last 16 with a 3-1 aggregate and will face Vitmenia de Guimarsamaes.

Now, Manuel Pellegrini's team must shift their focus to La Liga, with two important matches against Getafe and Real Madrid before returning to compete in European competitions.

Betis is currently in eighth position with 32 points, only three points adrift of Rayo Vallecano in sixth place. With the opportunity to qualify for European competition next season still wide open, they certainly want to take home the three points from this match.

In the first meeting of the season, Betis won 2-1 over Getafe. However, in the last meeting at the Coliseum in October 2023, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

Getafe only has one player who is confirmed to be absent, namely Luis Milla who has a muscle injury. The rest, they are in a pretty good condition for this match.

Bordalhirs are expected to keep most of the line-up from winning over Girona, but there is a possibility of a change up front with Borja Mayoral on the start. Carles Prererez also has the potential to replace Juan Bernat in the left-wing sector.

Real Betis will be strengthened by Romain Perraud again after a suspension, but they will have to lose injured Pablo Fornals, Hector Beller jurisprudence, and William Carvalho.

Marc Roca and Giovani Lo Celso are also in doubt of appearing, although there is hope that Lo Celso can recover on time. Meanwhile, Antony, who has impressed since joining Manchester United's loan status, will return as a mainstay in attack after recording three goals and one assist in five matches.

This match is predicted to be tight considering both teams are eyeing a better position in the standings. Getafe will rely on their solid defense, while Betis hopes Isco's creativity and Antony's speed can make the difference up front.
