Sevilla FC vs. Getafe CF
The first weekend of the new year 2022 is just around the corner and on Sunday the ball will be rolling again in the Spanish La Liga. For many of the teams, the 20th matchday is on the agenda and if we take a look at the top of the table, we see that it is currently the royals from Madrid. Real have already completed 20 matchdays and are currently five points ahead of their closest rivals Sevilla. However, the Andalusians still have a game in hand and should they win their upcoming home match against Getafe, then Sevilla FC could keep the pressure on Real high. Find out what we think about this match in our Sevilla – Getafe betting tip.
As we have just written, Sevilla FC have become Real’s number one hunter. Coach Julen Lopetegui’s team has won four of its last five games and is now eight points ahead of city rivals Betis Sevilla. The upcoming opponents Getafe are fighting against relegation, as was to be expected. Even though they haven’t lost their last five games, the 18 points after 19 matchdays are clearly too few.

Sevilla Form & Balance Check
Before the season, few would have expected Sevilla to be in such good shape after 19 matchdays. The gap to leaders Real Madrid is only five points and Sevilla also have a game in hand. The important thing for the coming weeks will be that coach Julen Lopetegui’s team continues to perform consistently. Last Monday, there was the away match at Cadiz. In the end, there was a close, but not undeserved 1:0 victory against the cellar child.
Best defence in the league
If we take a closer look at the Spanish La Liga table, we can quickly see why Sevilla are so high up in the table. With just 13 goals conceded, the Andalusians have the best defence in the league. Players like Diego Carlos and Jules Kounde are among the best defenders in the league and their strong performances in recent weeks and months have also attracted the attention of the big clubs in Europe. Kounde, for example, has been the focus of Chelsea FC for some time.
Sevilla Facts & Analysis
– Strong 2nd place behind Real
– Only five points behind the royals
– Only 13 goals conceded
Getafe Form & Balance Check
Getafe, the club from the suburbs of Madrid, are fighting against relegation again this year. The team of coach Quique Sánchez Flores has it extremely difficult, especially on the offensive. After 19 match days, Getafe managed to score just 13 times. This is one of the reasons why the men from the Spanish capital are only in 16th place. This would be enough to keep them in the relegation zone, but Getafe should not rely on this and they will have to improve their performance in the second half of the season.
Without a chance against Sevilla
Now the difficult away match at Sevilla FC awaits on Sunday at 16:15. The Andalusians are not without reason one of the best teams in the league and Getafe will have to have an absolutely great day to get anything against Sevilla. The last game against Real Madrid should be encouraging. Getafe caused a small sensation against the league leaders and won 1-0 in the end. Defensive stability and a successful counterattack could be the recipe for success against Sevilla.
Getafe facts & analysis
