Getafe vs Sevilla prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-01-31 13:00.
[p]Getafe have started 2025 in fine form, avoiding defeat in all five of their matches so far this year across all competitions (W4, D1). Progression to the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey has been matched by a pair of eye-catching results in La Liga against Barcelona (D 1-1) and Real Sociedad (W 3-0), though José Bordalás’ men can’t afford to rest on their laurels as they’re still just three points clear of the relegation zone.[/p]
[p]They’ll be happy to be on home soil at the Coliseum where they’ve won 15 of their 23 points in the league so far this term (W3, D6, L2). Getafe’s home games haven’t been particularly appealing to the neutral with just one of the last five La Liga matches the Azulones hosted seeing both sides get on the scoresheet, and that may worry the home faithful given that they’ve lost three successive meetings with Sevilla while scoring just once![/p]
[p]That run includes back-to-back La Liga victories by a 1-0 scoreline for Sevilla, who’ve emerged victorious from five of their last six visits to Getafe (L1). But the visitors’ season finds itself at a crossroads, as they sit seven points adrift of both the top-five and the bottom-three, so any further slip-ups like the draws they’ve been held to against Espanyol and Valladolid this month could leave them nervously looking over their shoulder.[/p]
[p]Both of those results came on home soil, which could be concerning for boss GarcĂa Pimienta, who admitted his side “lacked effectiveness” against Espanyol last week. He needs a response on the road where his side have lost four of their last six matches across all competitions (W2) – including a Copa del Rey exit to second-tier AlmerĂa.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Getafe’s Carles Pérez ended a ten-month goal drought with a brace against Sociedad last week, with his last strike before that ironically coming in a 2-1 victory over Sevilla. Visiting defender Loïc Badé will aim to stop a repeat and add to his joint-career high three H2H wins over Getafe, and could be a threat going forward after scoring, hitting the post and seeing another strike ruled out by VAR last week.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only Atlético Madrid (six) have kept more home clean sheets than Getafe’s five in La Liga this season.[/p]
