Getafe vs Sevilla Prediction

Sevilla scoring freely, Getafe short on goals

Sevilla have won four of their last seven league matches, drawing one and losing two, and they've found the net in every single one of those seven games. Their only real blip was a 1-3 home defeat to Barcelona, sandwiched between wins over Athletic Club and Valencia either side of it.

Getafe's recent run reads two wins, two draws and three defeats, and the bigger issue is their attack - just four goals scored across those seven league matches. They've kept things tight at the back in spells, but not often enough to turn draws into wins.

Getafe's struggle to score is the clearest pattern in the data so far.

Comparative Team Statistics: Getafe vs Sevilla

A fixture that's swung both ways recently

The last time Sevilla travelled to Getafe, back in February, they won 1-0. The season before that, Getafe actually won the away leg at Sevilla's own ground 2-1. So the last two meetings have split evenly, with the away side winning both times.

Go further back and Sevilla have had the better of this fixture more often, including a few heavy wins, but that history stretches back several years and isn't a reliable guide to how either side is playing right now.

Five points apart in a congested mid-table

Sevilla sit fifth with 13 points from seven games, while Getafe are down in 11th on eight points from the same number of matches. It's still early in the campaign, so that gap could close or widen quickly over the coming weeks.

Cards have featured for both sides

A few players from each squad have picked up red cards in small sample sizes this season - Getafe's Mario Martín and Kiko Femenía, and Sevilla's Kike Salas and A. Sangante have all seen red at least once in limited appearances. That doesn't confirm anyone's availability for this specific match, but it does suggest a fixture where discipline could be worth watching once team news firms up closer to kickoff.
