Sevilla continues to build steam in the new season after a victorious opening weekend when they take on Getafe in La Liga this week. The match schedules for Monday at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez with kickoff at 9 pm.
Julen Lopetegui’s side opened the new La Liga season with a 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano last weekend. On the other hand, Getafe suffered a 1-0 loss to Valencia in the opening match last weekend.
Getafe’s 2020-21 campaign was disappointing as they finished in 15th place, four points clear of the relegation zone.
The Blues have had a rough past few seasons, and it seemed like they were finally starting to break that trend. But after a lacklustre season in the top flight of Spanish football, their spot at this level is not guaranteed anymore.
Getafe has struggled against Sevilla in their last four matches, one of which resulted in a 3-0 defeat for the hosts. The Geta make it tough on themselves as they play host to the Andalusian side on Monday night.
Sevilla opened their 2021-22 campaign by besting Rayo Vallecano 3-0 on the weekend. Erik Lamela scored twice in a 2nd half span to seal victory for Sevilla at Estadio Ramon.
Sevilla has dominated away matches this season, and they have won the last four consecutive games against Getafe. The team is looking to take its momentum from these recent wins into Saturday’s matchup with their rivals.
