Head-to-head facts courtesy of Opta: Getafe and Betis have met in five league matches at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, winning one each and drawing the last three. All of Betis’ league goals at Getafe have come in the second half. All of the Azulones’ wins over Real Betis in the Primera Division have come when they have kept a clean sheet. Neither of these coaches has previously faced either their opposition manager or team in the top flight.

Betis boss Pepe Mel, meanwhile, is revelling in looking down on the rest of Spain, including giants Barcelona and Real Madrid: "We're a team that manages the game well, that does not lose the ball easily, make quick transitions and that's what people have seen. They say this is a two-team league but some things have happened that nobody expected.

El Geta boss Luis Garcia Plaza admits his team are desperate for a win now, but that they have been unlucky not to have done so already: "We need the win. Many strange things have happened in these four games: losses in the last minute, many injuries. But I hope to change things on Monday with a victory. We need and deserve it. Right now this is the most difficult match because Betis is the leader and is doing things the best so far. I hope the fans are with us and we can get the first win."

Newly-promoted Betis are already guaranteed of ending the fifth round of league fixtures at the top of the table, but they can extend that gap over champions Barcelona to four points this evening with a win in the southern Madrid suburb. Their hosts Getafe are stillawaiting their first win of the season. Claiming it tonight would lift them out of the relegation zone.
