Match Overview

The second-round La Liga fixture between Sevilla and Getafe is set to take place on August 25 at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium. This article provides a comprehensive match preview, including a detailed prediction, betting odds, and key statistics for the Sevilla vs Getafe encounter.

Sevilla’s Current Form

Matías Almeyda’s debut as Sevilla’s head coach in La Liga wasn’t victorious, but it wasn’t a complete failure either. In their opening match, the team faced Athletic Club away from home, succumbing to a narrow 2-3 defeat. Despite having an opportunity to secure a draw, the club conceded the decisive goal in the final ten minutes. This marked Sevilla’s third consecutive loss in the league.

Key Sevilla Statistics

• Sevilla has managed only 1 victory in their last 12 La Liga fixtures, alongside 2 draws and 9 defeats.
• The team has conceded at least two goals in 5 of their last 6 league matches.
• The club has failed to score more than 1 goal in 14 of their last 15 home encounters in La Liga.

Sevilla’s Predicted Lineup (4-4-2)*

Ørjan Nyland – Kike Salas, Marcao, José Carmona, Adrià Pedrosa – Rubén Vargas, Djibril Sow, Juanlu Sánchez, Nemanja Gudelj – Dodi Lukebakio, Akor Adams.

Getafe’s Performance Analysis

The club from the outskirts of Madrid kicked off their La Liga campaign with a victory for the first time since the 2020/21 season. José Bordalás’s men travelled to face Celta Vigo and successfully overcame the Galicians with a 2-0 scoreline. Notably, the team managed to keep a clean sheet for the first time in 9 league matches. It’s also worth highlighting that this was only their second win in the last 9 La Liga fixtures, having lost the rest.

Key Getafe Statistics

• Getafe’s uncompromising run in La Liga now spans 17 matches, featuring 7 wins and 10 defeats.
• Exactly two or three goals have been scored in five of their last league outings.
• In their last 8 La Liga matches, Getafe has scored only 1 goal in the first half.

Getafe’s Predicted Lineup (5-4-1)*

David Soria – Davinci, Diego Rico, Djené, Juan Iglesias, Ismael Behucha – Mauro Arambarri, Luis Milla, Mario Martín, Krisantus Uche – Adrián Liso.

Forward Álex Sancris will be unavailable due to suspension.

Match Prediction: Sevilla vs Getafe

In this concluding fixture of La Liga’s second round, I do not anticipate a high-scoring game. The last three head-to-head encounters between these two teams in the league have been low-scoring affairs, featuring two 1-0 victories for Sevilla and one goalless draw.

Despite a decent performance against Athletic Club where they scored twice, Sevilla’s home form has been noticeably weak, largely due to poor finishing. In their last 15 home league matches, the club has scored more than one goal only once, and that was against Leganés, who were relegated to the Segunda División. Furthermore, Sevilla themselves have not conceded more than 1 goal in 9 of their last 13 home fixtures in La Liga.

Getafe’s form has been inconsistent, alternating between wins and losses. However, they have scored more than 1 goal in only 2 of their last 9 La Liga matches. Therefore, for this clash, I recommend a prediction of ‘Total Goals Under 2.5’ with odds of 1.50
