When will the Sevilla crisis finally end?
La Liga in Spain has been a little stingy with goals at times this season, but not with entertainment nonetheless. You can’t figure out some teams so far, which also applies to the hosts. This complicates a Sevilla vs. Getafe tip, even if the bookmakers see the home side in the favourite role.
And actually, with the Andalusians naturally strong at home, it would be clear where the journey is heading against an opponent like Getafe. But the problem is that it is not a normal season that Sevilla FC is playing. On the contrary.
Because Sevilla keep dashing any hopes of a step out of the crisis, our Sevilla vs Getafe prediction also focuses not on the supposedly obvious home win, but rather on the goals. Because both have a lot of catching up to do in this area.
Sevilla – Statistics & current form
Even though two regular defenders were sold in the summer, the euphoria at Sevilla was not exactly low. After a very good last season, the Andalusians wanted to return to the Champions League. But the reality is completely different. Sevilla has huge problems and is currently fighting against relegation! Twelve points from 15 games, 18th place, that is the current reality for the Andalusians. And not dreams of the very top.
Jorge Sampaoli, who took over from Julen Lopetegui in the middle of the season, is not yet satisfied either. His adjustments have not yet borne fruit, although he is considered a tactically astute coach. At least he got a new defender, Loic Badé came to the Andalusians from Stade Rennais. And that is also urgently needed, in general the team needs to improve significantly in many areas of the game. One of the problems is that even with good approaches, too many mistakes are made.
The numbers speak for themselves and are shocking, especially at home. Seven games, no win! Sevilla has always been a home power in recent years, but now the team is still waiting for its first “three-pointer” in its home stadium. 0.43 points in front of a home crowd marks a horror value. Combined with only 14 goals, not at home, but in 15 games in total, the problems become very apparent very quickly.
Who breathes life into Sevilla?
Sevilla need to step up in attack, no player has scored more than three goals, no centre-forward more than two. It is a disaster how the Andalusians present themselves offensively. There is, however, one small encouragement. During the week, Sevilla played away at Lines in the Copa del Rey and won 5-0. Striker En-Nesyri, actually a goal-scorer, scored three times here. Maybe that helps.
The first home win in the league would be enormously important for Sevilla and would also serve as a sign, because purely in terms of quality, the Andalusians are naturally in a different world than their competitors in the relegation battle. Two or three wins in a row and they’ll be heading for the top half of the table again. Getafe, Girona, Cadiz and Elche are the next four opponents and they are all beatable.
What stands out in the bookmakers’ ratings, however, is the lack of goals, not individual superiority. Therefore, before the game Sevilla vs. Getafe, our prediction is that less than 2.5 goals will be scored, which is rated by bookmaker Bet3000 with odds of 1.58.

Getafe – Statistics & current form
Getafe have often stood for the same old football in recent years. Compactness without end, a lot of physicality and good standards. That ensured success with the one or other surprising tactical variation, especially in the game with the ball. In the current season, the team has 17 points from 15 games and is only five points away from the first relegation place. Given the size of the squad, that is not a disaster, but it is no mean feat either.
Getafe has something in common with Sevilla, namely weak offensive values. Both have scored 14 goals, making them among the worst offensive lines in the league. However, at Getafe a more sustainable development in the right direction is recognisable. Sure, including the cup, Sevilla have not lost four times, but Getafe have only suffered two defeats in their last ten games!
The remaining games of this period are divided into four draws and four wins each. So Getafe have made progress and improved. A draw at Sevilla would be enormously important for the visitors to keep their opponents at bay. However, there was a small setback recently when Getafe were eliminated against Levante in the Copa del Rey.
The last few weeks have been emblematic
The last few weeks in La Liga have been emblematic of how Getafe are doing. In the last five league games, only six goals were scored. There was a 0-0, a 1-0 defeat and a 1-0 win. Getafe can neutralise an opponent for a few phases, but then fail to develop enough offensive power.
No wonder that the odds offered by the best bookmakers on almost all bets suggest that it will be a frustrating evening for fans of many goals, which is why the focus of Sevilla vs Getafe betting tips, for example, should rather be on both teams not scoring.
Predicted line-up of Getafe:
Soria – Suarez, Diene, Duarte, Angileri – Alena, Maksimovic, Milla, Portu – Ünal, El Haddadi

Sevilla – Getafe Spain Tip
Sevilla will be hoping for an end to the crisis, but at least there have been the first positive signs recently, even if apart from a draw they have not yet played in La Liga. Opponent Getafe should be beatable, now the victory is needed.
Both teams have a weakness in front of the opponent’s goal, which is why our tip for the Sevilla vs. Getafe match is that less than 2.5 goals will be scored.
