In their last game for the Copa del Rey, they won against Elche at home 2-1. In their last 9 league home matches, Betis has recorded 5 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, securing 16 points from 27 possible.

In their last match, they won against Deportivo Alavés at home 3-1, following a previous away victory against Elche 3-1.
