Getafe vs Sevilla: A La Liga Battle for Position
Getafe will be aiming to continue their impressive run in Spain’s top flight when they host Sevilla this Sunday afternoon. Currently 11th in La Liga with 29 points, Getafe hold a comfortable five-point lead over the relegation zone. Sevilla, meanwhile, find themselves in 13th place, trailing their opponents by three points, making this a vital match for both sides.
Getafe’s Recent Form
Getafe have quietly built a four-game unbeaten streak, securing victories in their last two matches against Alaves and Villarreal. Their overall record of eight wins, five draws, and eleven defeats from 24 league games demonstrates a solid, if unspectacular, campaign. They are surprisingly only six points off sixth-placed Espanyol, showcasing their potential for a strong finish.
A recent 2-1 win over Villarreal has boosted their confidence, although their home record remains only the 16th best in the league. Notably, Getafe secured a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture earlier this season, their first win against Sevilla since December 2023.
Sevilla’s Struggles
Sevilla enters the match off the back of a 1-1 draw with Alaves, and have only managed one win in 2026 – a 2-1 success over Athletic Bilbao on January 24th. This season has been underwhelming for Los Nervionenses, with 26 points from 24 matches leaving them precariously close to the relegation zone.
Defensively, Sevilla have struggled, conceding 39 goals in 24 matches – the joint-second worst record in the division. They face a challenging schedule ahead, with upcoming matches against Real Betis and Barcelona adding to the pressure. Last season saw Sevilla finish 17th, their lowest La Liga position since relegation in 1999-2000.
