Despite settling for a goalless draw against Sevilla in the previous weekend, Real Betis is closing in on their third consecutive top-six finish in La Liga. The draw against Sevilla was marred by a horrific collision between Juan Miranda and Jesus Navas, resulting in the expulsion of the Betis defender. It was the team’s 14th red card of the campaign, the highest in the league. Despite dropping points against their neighbors, Betis can now go four games without a defeat here for only the second time this season in La Liga. Their confidence in achieving this feat should be high, considering that they have comfortably defeated three other teams currently in the bottom four at home this season. After 35 rounds of the current league campaign, the hosts have recorded 16 wins and eight draws, accumulating 56 points and securing the sixth position in the standings. Fekir, Miranda, and Ruiz will be unable to play today due to a muscular injury.
Getafe’s fight for survival is nearing its end, but entering this round midweek outside the relegation zone only on goal difference doesn’t provide much comfort, especially considering their record of just one win in their last nine La Liga matches. The team had hoped to improve on that result in the previous round against already relegated Elche at home, but they had to settle for a dull 1-1 draw despite taking the lead. This is the toughest remaining game for the visitors, but their precarious position means they must try to extract a positive result from it. After 35 rounds of the current season, the “Azulones” have recorded eight wins and 11 draws, accumulating 35 points and occupying the 17th position in the league table. Arambarri will be unable to take the field due to an ankle injury. More today football predictions from the experts can be obtained from the link provided.
