Betis has not shown much regularity so far in the Spanish league, considering that it has not yet managed to establish a good sequence of positive results and now it comes from another defeat. In that game, he showed a lot of pass quality and had a good control of the game, but even so he was overtaken by Espanyol. Based on the numbers of the competition, we can notice that the one who is causing this performance is not very positive is the defensive sector, which is among the six weakest, although he has only suffered one goal in the last two days. However, despite the good number of goals scored, his attack is among those that least finish. At home, he has one of the best campaigns and in this condition his attack has thirteen goals scored in five games. It is likely that the technician keeps the team in a 4-3-3, with highlight for Guardado in the center of the field.

In 10 matches in this tournament, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only won 1 result.

The Getafe enters the field for this game a little more relieved, having managed to rediscover the path of victory in the Spanish league, thus interrupting a fast that lasted three days, a period in which he accumulated two consecutive defeats. This victory had an even better flavor because it happened against the powerful Real Madrid, which increases the morale of the club. The numbers of the competition do not reveal major problems in any of the sectors, but the attack is leaving a bit to be desired, although it has not scored in two matches so far, since it is among the four teams that least finish. However, the team needs to perfect some points, since it is the one that most passes erra, having the second worst average possession of the ball, which ends up facilitating the work of the opponents. As a visitor, Getafe is outstanding for its defensive consistency.
