Betis take on the visitors Getafe in the round 36 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 24th at Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla).
Basically, Betis lost all motivation at the end the season. Only a miracle (three victories for themselves and three defeats for Real Sociedad in the remaining matches) can help them secure a spot in the Champions League zone. It's also unlikely that they will drop out of the Europa League zone, as they only need to earn one more point to become unreachable for Athletic Bilbao. So, what am I getting at? In the upcoming La Liga match, Manuel Pellegrini's team can feel completely relaxed, play for their own pleasure without worrying about the result, and delight their fans with a home victory. The majority of their victories this season have been achieved at home (9 out of 16). Two out of their last three home matches have also ended in their favor.

Of course, Getafe won't give up without a fight. After all, they are fighting for survival. They have the same number of points as Valladolid, who are in the relegation zone, only one point more than Espanyol. However, despite the motivation, it seems that Getafe is running out of steam in the final stretch of the season. In the last five La Liga matches, Getafe has suffered three defeats: against Real Madrid (0-1), Espanyol (0-1), and Almeria (1-2). In their previous league match, the team couldn't even defeat unmotivated Elche at home, who are at the bottom of the league table (1-1 draw).
I assume that in this match, the class and the home field advantage will prevail over the motivation of the guests, and I'm willing to take a risk and bet on the home team's victory at a fantastic odds. It's quite likely that even a draw won't save Getafe from relegation and will have consequences at the very end. Therefore, the guests need to strive for victory and not sit back in defense for the entire 90 minutes. And honestly, even Getafe's defense can't manage to park the bus away from home. In their last four away matches in La Liga, Getafe has suffered four defeats. In the first round of the current season, Getafe even lost to Betis at home (0-1). The last two head-to-head matches between the teams on Betis' turf also ended in favor of the favorites (2-0 and 1-0).
Prediction for the match: Betis to win.
