Getafe – Sevilla

Getafe can open up against Sevilla. Will the underdogs break the total?

Sunday, March 19, is an important match in La Liga in terms of the fight for survival. Sevilla are in the sad company of La Liga outsiders. That said, the season no longer looks as bleak as it did in the first half. Sevilla manage to compete in two tournaments. The Spanish club played a torrid match in Turkey in midweek. Sampaoli's side lost to Fenerbahçe but qualified for the Europa League quarter-finals. It is a great achievement in the current crisis situation. There is definitely a positive momentum in Jorge Sampaoli's side. In La Liga, Sevilla beat Almeria at home a week ago. The club still operate a five-back formation. The attacking line-up is more impressive in name so far. The new coach has managed to fit Rakitic, Ocampos, Suso and En-Nesiri on the pitch. With such a selection of players, it would be safe to compete for places in the European competitions. Sevilla have made significant strides in terms of the number of chances created. In a month and a half's time, the Andalucian attack is among the top five in La Liga. The defensive statistics do not look objective because of the anomalous match against Atlético de Madrid. In Madrid, the club suffered a setback. Sevilla conceded six goals. The team's main supporting midfielder Fernando stands out from the losses for the next match. The player is suspended. Getafe are two points behind Sevilla and occupies the eighteenth position. The team from the Madrid suburbs suffered a real drama in the last round. Kike Sanchez Flores' side snatched a draw against Cadiz in a scandalous game as early as the 106th minute. One of the most defensive and boring teams in La Liga is beginning to trend toward top-flight games. Prior to that, there was a 3-0 victory over Girona. Earlier, there was also a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Villarreal. Getafe have shown quality football in February. The club are definitely not sitting in eighteenth place in the standings. As for injuries, the situation is difficult because of disqualifications. The two key defenders Duarte and Alderete will not play. Plus, an experienced midfielder Arambari is injured. The bookmakers are giving very strange odds on the total. Both teams are more likely to play tied games, but there is a reverse trend in recent meetings. That said, even on two goals in this encounter, the odds are very high. The last face-to-face match took place in January. The total was broken in the game with three goals. Now Getafe at home will be set only to win the meeting with a tired Sevilla. There could be relatively open football. The two clubs are in the top ten in terms of quality of attack in February.
