Sevilla will host Getafe at Estadio Ramon on Saturday evening as Getafe aims to maintain their recent form in La Liga, sitting ninth in the table. In contrast, Sevilla struggles, currently placed 16th.
Match Preview
Sevilla’s recent Champions League campaign ended in disappointment with a 2-1 loss to Lens, placing them at the bottom of Group B.
They’ve faced a turbulent domestic season, lying 16th with just 13 points from 15 matches, close to the relegation zone.
Diego Alonso’s team hasn’t found consistency, suffering back-to-back losses in their last fixtures, including a 1-0 defeat against Mallorca.
Contrarily, Getafe is in good form, winning three of their last four matches across all competitions, including a vital 1-0 victory over Valencia last week. They’ve accumulated 22 points, securing a comfortable mid-table position.
The visitors are in better shape, having lost only once in the league since September, despite a recent away loss to Las Palmas.
While Getafe emerged victorious in their last head-to-head in March, Sevilla secured a win at Estadio Ramon last season, making this contest unpredictable.

Sevilla faces an injury crisis with numerous key players sidelined, including Joan Jordan, Dodi Lukebakio, Fernando, and more. Sergio Ramos, Djibril Sow, and Erik Lamela are doubtful for the game, limiting Alonso’s options.
