Betis, facing the record of victories in a calendar year

The Betic balance for this calendar year is on the date of 16 victories in the league, four in the Copa del Rey, four in the Conference and four in the Europa League. The curiosity comes from the fact that the Verdiblancos have won more victories away than in their stronghold, whether La Cartuja or Villamarín, since they have won thirteen times at home and fifteen times as a visitor. Of the thirteen residents, seven were in Villamarín and six in La Cartuja. Betis’ biggest win in 2025 was 1-7 against Palma del Río in the Cup. In La Liga it was 5-1 against Valladolid and in Europe it was 0-4 at Guimaraes. The most repeated result was 2-1 (against Real Madrid, Sevilla, Fiorentina and Utrecht), followed by 1-2 (Getafe and Espanyol twice), 2-0 (Jagiellonia, Osasuna and Olympique Lyonnais) and 0-2 (Ludogorets, Sevilla and Murcia)). Of the 28 victories, Betis has kept a clean sheet fourteen times, of which only half.

In the temporal distribution over the year, The month of 2025 in which Betis achieved the most victories was Marchwhile there were five spread across four in La Liga and one in the Conference, followed by November with four (two from LaLiga and two from the Europa League). The least winning month was August, only with joy against Alavés (1-0) in four matches played. In the distribution of these triumphs, Betic’s best streak in 2025 was four in a row and he experienced it twice during this period: in March beating Las Palmas, Vitoria, Leganés and Seville; and between April and May beating Girona, Valladolid, Fiorentina and Espanyol.

If Betis beats Getafe, it will equal 2021 in the number of official victories (29), surpassing the Chilean himself in the rest of the seasons, in which he made 26 in 2022 (in 51 games), 22 in 2023 (in 44) and 20 in 2024 (in 51). What is evident is the enormous consistency of the Chilean throughout this stage with historical barriers overcome for the Heliopolitan club since he took the reins in the summer of 2020. One of the keys to his playing more matches this year is that he had to face, against KRC Genk, the Conference play-offs, which he easily overcame. For 2026, one of Betis’ goals is to avoid this trip to the Europa League and thanks to the four victories already obtained in the group stage (Ludogorets, Olympique Lyonnais, Utrecht and Dinamo Zagreb), they are on the verge of guaranteeing it.

Pellegrini and a historic year

In addition to these 28 victories, Betis ends the year, awaiting the duel against Getafe, with 17 draws and eleven defeats. It’s not the year he lost the leastgiven that in 2021, also with Pellegrini, he has only done it nine times. For example, the current data has more value when we check that 2024 was the year with the most defeats for the Chilean (16) and now, with five more matches played, he has fallen to five fewer times. It is also the year with the most draws (17), equaling those of 2023. Between these data and the victories, Betis lost little from January to December.

And we always have to go back to 2021 and 1997, with Lorenzo Serra Ferrerto compare what was done in 2025 by Betis given that these are the best references. It is true that we are talking about absolute numbers since in relative numbers these natural cycles were even better given that Betis played fewer matches (55 in 1997 and 52 in 2021, compared to 57 in the current one). Now, with the recently renewed contract, the Chilean has a new challenge in 2026 to exceed these figures with the expected progression of the team and the club’s commitment to its competitive growth in all areas.
