Getafe - Sevilla predictions and free betting tips [30/03/2024]

On Saturday, 30th March, as part of the 30th round of the Spanish La Liga, Getafe will welcome Sevilla at their home ground. The visitors hold the 16th place in the league table, six points ahead of the 18th-positioned Cadiz, while Getafe occupies the 10th position with 38 points to their credit, still harbouring hopes of a finish in the European competition area.

Projected Lineups

Getafe: Soria; Iglesias, Dakonam, Alderete, Alvarez; Greenwood, Milla, Santiago, Moriba, Maksimovic; Rodriguez.
Sevilla: Nyland; Sanchez, Gudelj, Ramos, Salas, Ocampos; Lukebakio, Soumare, Suso; Romero, En-Nesyri.

Getafe

If there's a mid-table team which had an unexpectedly successful season, it is Getafe—many expected them to be fighting relegation. However, under the tutelage of Jose Bordelas, the hosts are in the top-10 and currently occupy the 10th spot in the league table. They are eight points behind the European competition zone, but the 'Azulones' can still hope to climb a place or two by the end of the campaign.

Before the international break, the blue-greens managed a narrow win against Girona (1:0), thus redeeming themselves after a loss with the same score against Valencia a week earlier. This season, the capital footballers have demonstrated impressive home form, scoring 28 points in 14 home games, with eight wins and only two losses.

Sevilla

Sevilla has been disappointing throughout the season, both in the European competitions (4th place in the Champions League) and the championship, where as of the start of the 30th round, they lead Cadiz in the relegation zone by just six points. With 8 matches left in the national championship, the team cannot afford to slow down, especially since before the international break the "White-and-Reds" played poorly at home against Celta (1:2 defeat). Worse still, the seven-time UEFA Europa League winners have managed only one win in their last five La Liga matches, with two defeats and two draws.

Last year, Sevilla finished 12th in La Liga, which was the club's lowest position since being relegated to the second division in the 1999-2000 campaign, but now there are all the prerequisites to set a 21st-century anti-record. Besides, Quique Flores' charges have only managed to seal a victory in two of the 14 away league matches, accumulating a total of 11 points away from home (14th in the league).

Head-to-Head Meetings

In December, at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, Getafe claimed a 0:3 victory in the first round of the championship, however a month later, Sevilla took revenge in the 1/8 final of the Copa del Rey (3:1).

Prediction for the Getafe vs Sevilla Match

Having managed to overcome Girona in the last round, Getafe could well take points from a struggling Sevilla this campaign. Getafe still has a theoretical chance of entering the European competition zone, but they need to make up an 8-point handicap from Real Sociedad in sixth place. Meanwhile, the visitors have been performing poorly away from home and have only managed to win once in their last five encounters. My prediction is a victory for the hosts with a 0 handicap.

Total Prediction

Getafe has only conceded 13 goals in 14 home games this season, whereas the visitors have been struggling lately and certainly cannot boast effective finishing in the attack. I'm betting on Sevilla's individual total under 1 goal.

Corner Prediction

If there's one thing in which Quique Flores' charges excel, it's their corner kicks: they earn more than 5 corners per match, on average. I'm betting on an individual total of over 4.5 corners.

Yellow Card Prediction

Both teams are known for their roughness on the field and average around 3 yellow cards per match. I'm betting on a total of over 4.5 warnings.

Score Prediction

I'm betting on an exact score of 1:0 in favour of Getafe.
