Getafe can pass a big test
A win for Getafe would put them five points clear of the team that are most closely threatening their top-four finish ambitions. So this is a huge game for them.
Last time out in league action Getafe lost 2-1 away at Barcelona but put in a pretty good shift. The Madrid side were out in Europa League action on Thursday, taking a superb 2-0 home win over Ajax in the round of 32 first leg.
They have not managed to take a clean sheet in five of their last six home games in the top flight. But then they have only suffered the one defeat in their last 10 against Sevilla in all compassion so have the head to head form.
All but one of their last six against Sevilla (all competitions) have gone under 2.5 goals. The home record of Getafe is a superb W7 D3 L2 this season and have lost just one of their last eight league home games (against Real Madrid).
There has been an average of 1.75 goals per home game produced by Getafe this season and less than half of their home games have gone over 2.5 goals.
Their defence has been superb, having only conceded 10 goals in 12 home fixtures.
Their only two home defeats have happened against the only two teams above them starting the weekend, Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Sevilla struggling to find wins
There have only been the two wins produced by Sevilla in their last nine league outings (D4 L3).
So they have been struggling in that department and they have lost their last two on the road as well.
Those back to back away defeats were both by a 2-1 scoreline against Real Madrid and then Celta Vigo.
It leaves them with a top-flight road record of W6 D2 L4 this season.
If you look across all competitions, there has been no win in five by Sevilla. During that run, they lost to second-tier Mirandes in the Copa del Rey.
They could only manage a 1-1 home draw against Cluj in Europa League action on Thursday as well.
