Best Pick 5/2/2022 (Patreon)

Real Betis is sitting in 5th place on the LaLiga table, 4 points behind the big 4 champion league spots. They have a game in hand (An extra game) over the teams in the top 4 though. Real Betis will be riding the high of the Copa del Rey final win against Valencia in their last match, and have had more than a full week to rest.

 Real Betis is also one of those annoying teams that for some reason plays better away than at home. They've played 16 games away this season and have only lost 4 times. They'll be desperate to get all three points here, because a loss here will most likely kill any chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season. 

Getafe is no pushover. They are definitely the worse of the two teams, but they are a team that does draw a lot. They have the third most draws in LaLiga, and are only 4 points ahead of the Relegation Zone. Most likely we'll see this team play aggressively for a draw, because getting one point against Real Betis is an accomplishment for this team. 

I see this being a pretty scrappy matchup, where we see a slow start until the first goal is scored. If Real Betis scores first, Getafe will have to play desperate to return a goal, same vise versa for Real Betis. I really like BTTS at +100 as well, as once a team goes down, we'll see wild counters to try to get a draw.
