The Matchday 2 clash in La Liga between Sevilla and Getafe will take place on August 25 at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. Sevilla vs. Getafe: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Sevilla
Matias Almeyda's debut as Sevilla's head coach in La Liga was neither a success nor a failure. The team played away against Athletic in the first round and lost 3-2. They had a chance to draw, but conceded the decisive goal in the last 10 minutes. This marked Sevilla's third consecutive defeat in La Liga.
- In their last 12 La Liga matches, Sevilla has secured only 1 victory (2 draws and 9 losses).
- The team has conceded at least two goals in 5 of their last 6 league games.
- Sevilla has not scored more than 1 goal in 14 of their last 15 home matches in La Liga.
Predicted lineup for Sevilla (4-4-2)
Orjan Nyland – Kike Salas, Marcao, Jose Carmona, Adria Pedrosa – Ruben Vargas, Djibril Sow, Juanlu Sanchez, Nemanja Gudelj – Dodi Lukebakio, Akor Adams.
Getafe
The club from the suburbs of Madrid started the La Liga season with a victory for the first time since the 2020/21 season. Jose Bordalas's side played away against Celta and defeated the Galicians 2-0. The team managed to keep a clean sheet for the first time in 9 league matches. Notably, this was only their second win in their last 9 La Liga games (losing the rest).
- Getafe's uncompromising streak in La Liga has reached 17 matches (7 wins and 10 losses).
- Exactly two or three goals have been scored in their last five league matches.
- In their last 8 La Liga matches, Getafe has scored only 1 goal in the first half.
Predicted lineup for Getafe (5-4-1)
David Soria – Davinchi, Diego Rico, Djene, Juan Iglesias, Ismael Behoucha – Mauro Arambarri, Luis Milla, Mario Martin, Chrisantus Uche – Adrian Liso.
Forward Alex Sancris will miss the match due to suspension.
Match Prediction: Sevilla vs. Getafe
In the final match of Matchday 2, I do not expect a high-scoring game. The last three encounters between these opponents in the league ended similarly – two 1-0 victories for Sevilla and a goalless draw.
Despite a decent match against Athletic and scoring two goals, Sevilla has been underwhelming at home, mainly due to poor finishing. In their last 15 home games in the league, they have only scored more than one goal once, against Leganes, who were relegated to Segunda. However, Sevilla has conceded no more than 1 goal in 9 of their last 13 home matches in La Liga.
Getafe has been inconsistent, alternating between losses and wins. However, they have scored more than 1 goal in only 2 of their last 9 La Liga games. Therefore, in this matchup, I recommend betting on Total under 2.5 goals.
