Sevilla vs Getafe Prediction and Preview – 24/10/15
La Liga preview – Sevilla vs Getafe prediction
Sevilla manager Unai Emery will be without Daniel Carrico, Beto and Nico Pareja for this visit of Getafe. It will be interesting to see if Emery sticks with Kevin Gameiro up-front or decides to go with Fernando Llorente, after the former started against Manchester City in mid-week.
The main concern for Getafe ahead of this match is the fitness of striker Alvaro Vazquez. If he fails to make it, Stefan Scepovic may be asked to step in. Both Angel Lafita and Alvaro Medran are unavailable for selection due to injury, therefore, don’t expect many changes from the team which started last weekend.
Possible Line-ups
Sevilla: 4-2-3-1 formation: Rico; Coke, Rami, Kolodzieczak, Tremoulinas; Krychowiak, Iborra; Reyes, Banega, Vitolo; Gameiro
Getafe: 4-2-3-1 formation: Guaita; Suarez, Alexis, Vergini, Lago; Lacen, J. Rodriguez; Sarabia, V. Rodriguez, Leon; Vazquez

Prediction
Despite suffering another loss in the Champions League in mid-week, Sevilla could easily have taken something from Manchester City and have shown signs of turning their season around. They are unbeaten in their last three league matches, including a good 2-1 home win against Barcelona. The 1-1 draw at Eibar also has to go down as a decent result and Sevilla will be looking to build on that with a win in this match, which could potentially push them in to the top half of the table.
However, Getafe are also a team who have turned their form around recently and have only tasted defeat in one of their last five games. The loss came at Atletico Madrid, so it wasn’t as if it was a big shock and the recent 3-0 and 4-0 home wins against Levante and Las Palmas respectively, plus the 0-0 draw at Celta Vigo, are signs the team are moving in the right direction.
Getafe have kept four cleans sheets in their last five games and will prove difficult to break down. If Sevilla are to take maximum points, it might be thanks to a single goal.
