Getafe vs Sevilla Prediction 1 February 2025

🔊 Will the "City" team manage to settle the score for their loss in the first round of the championship? This coming Saturday, there will be a clash between representatives of the lower half of the standings - Getafe and Sevilla. Both clubs certainly have their fair share of gameplay issues, making it quite difficult to predict the course of the match. It is worth noting that this time the teams will face off at the "Coliseum Alfonso Perez" arena. The bookmakers' odds reflect the unpredictability of the match: a win for the "dark blues" - 2.5, a victory for the "Nervionenses" - 3.3.

📊 H2H

At the start of the current season, Sevilla secured a hard-fought victory at "Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan" - 1:0. The decisive shot in the past meeting was delivered by Jesus Navas, who has since retired. An interesting trend to note: in 12 of the last 13 head-to-head matches in La Liga, only one team managed to score. We suggest considering the following event - both teams to score (no).

🔵 GETAFE

In the last round of La Liga, Getafe surprised many Spanish football fans by defeating Real Sociedad with a large margin (3:0). Recall that since April 2024, the "City" team had not managed to score more than twice in a match within La Liga. Getafe's style of play has not changed drastically. For Jose Bordalas and company, high midfield density, vertical passes, and a large number of aerial duels remain relevant. It is worth noting that in the recent match against Sociedad, the "dark blues" regularly employed a 4-2-3-1 formation when controlling possession. In defensive phases, Getafe lines up in a comfortable and familiar 4-4-2. Let's highlight an extremely promising and talented player - Cristantus Uche. The 21-year-old Nigerian is known for his versatility and, besides his primary position as a "nine," he can also play as a "ten." In the last 4 encounters, he managed to record 4 goal contributions (1+3). A significant loss for the capital club ahead of the 22nd round of La Liga is the suspension of key center-back Omar Alderete.

🔴 SEVILLA

Sevilla did not suffer a single defeat in La Liga in January - 2 draws and 1 win. Nevertheless, the tournament position of the "Nervionenses" cannot go unnoticed - an interim 12th place. The arrival of Garcia Pimienta at the club was seen as a potential revolution. After all, the team from the namesake city in recent years preferred specialists whose tactical style was based on playing second fiddle and frequent counterattacks. In the current season, the "red-whites" regularly try to take control of the ball and maximize benefits from positional play. Interestingly, Sevilla's coach resorts to using inverted full-backs. This decision is necessary when the team urgently needs an additional player in midfield during ball possession and while breaking out from under pressure. During the winter transfer window, Sevilla made 2 intriguing signings - Ruben Vargas (for 2.5 million euros from Augsburg) and Akor Adams (for 5.5 million euros from Montpellier). The first has already debuted and demonstrated his ability to work along the entire flank.

⚽️ GOAL PREDICTION

Both clubs are not characterized by high scoring this season: Getafe - 0.8, Sevilla - 1.1. It is also worth noting that in 8 of Getafe's last 10 matches, no more than two goals were scored. The "Nervionenses" are still struggling to adapt to their new tactical style, while the "City" team continues to be a very "tenacious" side. We suggest the following bet option - total under 2 goals.

🚩 CORNER PREDICTION

In each of the last 10 head-to-head matches between these teams, there were a maximum of 10 corner kicks observed. We also suggest paying attention to both earned and conceded corners by these teams in this La Liga season. The "City" team is characterized by the following numbers: 3.9 against 3.7. The "Nervionenses" are somewhat more active on their opponent's half: 5.4 against 4.2. This shapes up to a total corners under 9.5.

📝 MATCH PREDICTION

Getafe's defensive ranks pose a significant obstacle even for Spanish football giants. Considering that Sevilla is in the process of mastering a new tactical style, counting on numerous sharp moments from them seems quite naive. The "dark blues" boast the best home defense in the league - only 0.55 goals conceded per game at "Coliseum Alfonso Perez." Our editorial team predicts a "low-scoring" game, which could result in a scoreline of 0:0. The key bet is - total under 2 goals.
