Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Betis and Getafe face each other at Estadio Benito Villamarin in a postponed La Liga game. Los Beticos aim to build on a 2-0 win over Leganes and they are seen as favourites to win the midweek clash as well. Experienced midfielder William Carvalho suffered a serious injury at the weekend, with Sergi Altimira likely to step up. The likes of Juanmi Jimenez, Nobel Mendy, Cedric Bakambu, and Isco remain in the recovery room.
Los Azulones, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Sevilla at “Pizjuan”. As the capital club failed to find the net in the previous three games in the national championship, we are tempted to bet on the Andalusian outfit. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last seven meetings in the Spanish top flight. Both Omar Alderete and Borja Mayoral are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
