With 12 points from 15 possible, Manuel Pellegrini’s squad sits third in La Liga, trailing second-placed Real Madrid by three points but holding the head-to-head advantage after beating them earlier this season. A win here would push Betis up to second place.

Getafe, on the other hand, has lost all three away games so far this season and is on a four-match winless streak.

Key players missing through injury include Christantus Uche (ACL), Juanmi (knee), Abdel Abqar (muscle), and Kiko Femenia (hamstring).
