Getafe vs. Sevilla – A Tight La Liga Showdown with Everything to Play For
Alright, football fans, we've got a fascinating La Liga clash coming up as Getafe hosts Sevilla at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. Both teams are eager to keep their solid runs going, making this a must-watch battle with plenty at stake.
Getafe has been on a roll lately, going unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions. Their latest game was an impressive 3-0 thrashing of Real Sociedad, which pushed them up to 14th place in the table. It's been a strong start to 2025 for José Bordalás and his squad, especially considering their solid defensive record—only 17 goals conceded in 21 league matches. However, their attack needs to step up if they want to keep climbing the table.
On the other side, Sevilla sits just two spots above Getafe in 12th place, and they too are unbeaten in La Liga this year. Their recent 1-1 draw with Espanyol followed a victory over Girona, showing their resilience. But here's the issue—while Sevilla has been decent at home, their away form has been a concern. With just two wins in ten away matches this season, traveling has not been their strong suit.

Historically, Sevilla has had the upper hand in this fixture. They edged past Getafe with a 1-0 win in the reverse fixture earlier this season and did the same in last season’s corresponding match. That said, Getafe has also managed to get the better of Sevilla twice in their last four meetings, proving this could go either way.
Team news is another key factor in this match-up. Getafe will be without Allan Nyom due to injury, while Mauro Arambarri is doubtful. Omar Alderete is suspended, which means Juan Berrocal is likely to step in at center-back. Carles Pérez, who came off the bench to score twice against Real Sociedad, could earn a starting spot. Sevilla, meanwhile, welcomes back Isaac Romero and Adrià Pedrosa from suspension, though key players like Kike Salas, Joan Jordán, Rafa Mir, and Tanguy Nianzou are still sidelined.
With both sides in relatively strong form, this game is shaping up to be a closely fought contest. Getafe has been solid at home, losing only twice this season, while Sevilla’s struggles away from home could give the hosts an edge. Still, given Getafe’s habit of drawing games (six home draws in La Liga this season), a stalemate seems like a likely outcome.
Prediction? A hard-fought 1-1 draw. Getafe will try to make their home advantage count, but Sevilla’s attacking firepower—especially with Dodi Lukébakio, who has nine league goals this season—could make the difference. It’s going to be a tense, tactical battle, with both teams desperate to edge closer to European qualification spots.
Let’s see how this one plays out!
