Getafe vs. Sevilla 8/23/21 LaLiga Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Getafe is hosting Sevilla at Coliseum Alfonso Perez in round 2 of the Spanish LaLiga. Getafe has had a fantastic preseason, but they failed to win their first LaLiga game this season. Sevilla is now undefeated in their last 6 games, and they have won their season opener last week.

As I’ve mentioned earlier, Getafe has had a great preseason, and they have won 6 of their 7 friendly games, while 1 game ended in a draw. as far as their season opener went, Getafe was playing against Valencia on the road, and they were the dominant team with an impressive 74% of ball possession, 4 shots on goal, 9 corner kicks, 0 big chances created, and a solid 87% of the correct passes. Despite all of their dominance, and despite having an extra player on the field since 3^rd minute, Getafe just couldn’t score a goal, but they did concede a goal in the 11^th minute. The result hasn’t changed after that, and Getafe has lost this match 1-0. Getafe will be without Cabaco who conceded a red card, and that should be their only missing player. Getafe is a tough team, they are hard to beat, and I think they will be in the Conference League battle this season.

Sevilla is one of the best teams in LaLiga, and they have ended last season in 4^th place with 77 points, which means they will be playing in the Champions League this season. Offensively, Sevilla was the weakest team of all the top 4 teams last season, but their defense has been fantastic with 33 conceded goals. In their first match of the season, Sevilla was hosting Rayo Vallecano, and they were the much better team with 75% of ball possession, 8 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, 5 big chances created, and a high 93% of the correct passes. This was the game where Sevilla was in total control on both ends, they dominated the possession, and they created a lot of chances. The final score of this match was 3-0 in favor of Sevilla. With 2 scored goals so far, Erik Lamela, who is the newcomer to this team, is the leading goalscorer for Sevilla, En-Nesyri added 1 goal and 1 assist. Torres is the only injured player for Sevilla. I think that this season Sevilla will be fighting for the top in LaLiga, and I think they are a great team with a great coach.

Getafe hasn’t won any of their last 4 games against Sevilla, while Sevilla hasn’t lost any of their last 6 games. Getafe has had success against Sevilla, and I think this will be a tough game, which is why I will take the draw.
