LaLiga announced the match schedules for the sixth and seventh matchdays of the Primera División on Thursday, setting the date for Getafe's next fixture. The Madrid-based side will travel to face Real Betis on Thursday, September 17 at 19:00 at the Estadio de La Cartuja, as reported by ABC Deportes.
The match will be broadcast by DAZN. This fixture comes early in the season, with Getafe currently sitting 11th in La Liga with three points from their first two games. Their record stands at one win and one loss, having scored one goal and conceded three, leaving them four points behind leaders Atletico Madrid. Before facing Betis, Getafe has an important home fixture against 16th-placed Celta Vigo on September 7.
What schedule does Real Betis face?
The home side, Real Betis, has a congested calendar in the coming weeks. Before hosting Getafe, the Verdiblancos will face Real Madrid on Friday, September 4 and Lille in the Champions League group stage on Tuesday, September 8. They also play Villarreal on Monday, September 14. This heavy schedule could impact their performance when they meet José Bordalás's team.
The seventh matchday was also confirmed, with Betis traveling to Riazor to play Deportivo de La Coruña on Sunday, September 20 at 18:30. After that match, the domestic competition will pause for a two-week international break. Getafe fans can check the full team schedule on our fixtures page.
How is Getafe shaping up for this match?
Getafe approaches this trip to Seville aiming to improve their away form and collect points to climb the table. With a -2 goal difference, the team needs to solidify its defense and be more decisive in attack. The match at La Cartuja represents an opportunity to prove their mettle against a strong opponent who, however, carries a significant physical burden.
The squad, which you can review in our squad section, will need to be at its best to counter Betis's attacking threat. Their current position in the standings reflects an inconsistent start to the season, but there is room for improvement.
What does this kick-off time mean for fans?
Scheduling the match on a Thursday evening makes it easier for local Seville fans to attend but complicates travel for Getafe's visiting supporters. The 19:00 kick-off, in the middle of the working week, presents a logistical challenge for those wishing to support the team at the stadium. However, the broadcast on DAZN ensures all fans can follow the match from anywhere.
This LaLiga announcement allows clubs and their supporters to plan for the coming weeks of competition. For Getafe, the objective is clear: use the match against Celta to build momentum and arrive with a chance at a demanding venue like La Cartuja.
