Sevilla vs Getafe Prediction & Betting Tips (25 August)

Sevilla and Getafe are set to clash at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in a fixture that carries more weight than the table might suggest. Sevilla, under the stewardship of García Pimienta, are still chasing their first win of the season after a rocky start that includes two draws and two losses. The Andalusian side has struggled to find rhythm, particularly in the final third, with their most recent outing ending in a 2-0 defeat to Girona. Pressure is mounting on Pimienta, whose tactical approach has yet to yield results, and the upcoming trio of matches—starting with Getafe—could define his early tenure.

Getafe, meanwhile, arrive in Seville unbeaten but equally winless, having drawn all three of their opening fixtures. José Bordalás has instilled defensive discipline, evidenced by consecutive clean sheets against Rayo Vallecano and Real Sociedad. However, the lack of attacking spark remains a concern. The Azulones will be buoyed by memories of their last visit to this stadium, where they stunned Sevilla with a 3-0 victory. Yet, with a more conservative setup this season, replicating that scoreline seems unlikely. Their upcoming double-header in Seville, including a midweek clash with Real Betis, adds urgency to their need for points.

In terms of personnel, Sevilla will look to Rafa Mir to lead the line, especially with Youssef En-Nesyri still working his way back to full fitness. Mir’s movement and aerial threat could be pivotal against Getafe’s compact backline. On the other side, Getafe will rely on the experience of Domingos Duarte and the tenacity of Nemanja Maksimović to anchor their defensive shape. The midfield battle could be decisive, with Sevilla’s Ivan Rakitić expected to orchestrate play and test Getafe’s resilience through probing passes and set-piece delivery.

Given the current form and tactical tendencies of both sides, a narrow 2-1 victory for Sevilla feels plausible. The hosts are desperate to break their winless streak and will likely push harder in front of their home crowd. Getafe’s defensive solidity may keep them in the game, but a moment of quality from Sevilla’s attacking unit could tip the balance. Expect a cagey affair with flashes of intensity, and ultimately, a result that offers Pimienta a much-needed lifeline.
