Betis-Getafe at La Cartuja: Pellegrini weighs rotation vs Bordalás’ steel

Real Betis play host to Getafe at La Cartuja for LaLiga matchday 6, in a week that may force Pellegrini to rotate. MARCA notes that Betis are on a strong run—four wins in their first five league games—but this is the second of three matches in the same week.

Rotation likely in Seville

The lineup is expected to change: MARCA says Diego Llorente and Ruibal are still sidelined through injury. Meanwhile, Ortiz, Junior, Valentín, Facundo, Antony and Parrott are listed as possible starters or major alternatives.

MARCA also frames the tactical challenge: this Betis side has been clicking, highlighted by their most complete performance of the campaign in La Cerámica (they produced up to 26 shots), but Getafe come with a more conservative, defensive profile that demands patience rather than rushing the game.

Getafe’s calls and Romero’s return

For Bordalás’ team, MARCA reports the return of Zaid Romero, who missed the previous match against the team from La Coruña. Still, the coach said in his press conference that he has other players carrying knocks and will wait until today to decide whether they travel.

The goalkeeping duel is another angle MARCA underlines: Álvaro Valles vs. David Soria, with Betis’ keeper carrying six goals conceded and three clean sheets in five league matches. Betis’ recent defensive/shot-stopping numbers, plus Getafe’s need to turn two straight home draws into three points, set the tone for a tight contest, according to MARCA.
