Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Getafe and Sevilla go head to head at Estadio Coliseum Alfonso Perez in the opening match of Saturday’s program. Los Azulones aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Girona and a triumph over Sevilla will see them remain in top 10 in the standings. All Borja Mayoral, Gaston Alvarez, Gorka Rivera, and Mauro Arambarri are out of contention with injuries. Diego Rico is widely expected to replace fellow defender Alvarez in the starting XI.
Los Sevillanos, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to Celta Vigo before the international break, but it has to be noted that they missed a couple of clear-cut opportunities to double their lead. The Andalusian outfit aim to escape the danger zone, but seeing that Getafe are tough to beat in the suburbs of Madrid, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing more than one point from the match. Jesus Navas is banned for the match, while all Loic Bade, Lucien Agoume, and Mariano Diaz should miss out with injuries.
