Sevilla vs Getafe
Spain – La Liga
Date: Saturday, 6 February 2021
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan (Sevilla).
Sevilla will be looking to build on a 2-0 win over Eibar when they take on Getafe at their Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Saturday.
Los Sevillanos aim to cement their spot in top four, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at los Azulones.
Cut-price summer signing Papu Gomez did not make his debut at the weekend, but he should play some part in Saturday’s clash.
All Rodriguez, Escudero, and Acuna are sidelined with injuries, while Vaclik should recover in time to face Getafe.
The capital club, on the other hand, failed to impress in a goalless draw.
Getafe are not enjoying a season to remember, and given Sevilla’s performance in the triumph over los Armeros, home win should definitely be considered.
Even though important defender Djene Dakonam is back from suspension for the visitors, we are tempted to put our money on the Andalusians.

Team News:
Sevilla will be unable to call upon Ivan Rakitic through suspension, while Marcos Acuna, Oscar Rodriguez and Sergio Escudero remain on the sidelines through injury.
Lopetegui will make changes from the side that started against Almeria in the Copa del Rey, with Jordan, Oliver Torres, Sergi Gomez, Suso and Youssef En-Nesyri all in line to return to the XI.
Acuna's absence should see Karim Rekik continue at left-back, while Ocampos's importance for the Europa League winners means that the Argentina is unlikely to be rested.
Getafe, meanwhile, will be without the services of Mauro Arambarri due to the booking that the midfielder picked up in the goalless draw with Alaves last weekend.
Mathias Olivera, Enes Unal, Dario Poveda and Cucho Hernandez are also unavailable for selection, meaning that the visitors will be far from at full strength for the clash with Lopetegui's side.
Arambarri's absence could see Francisco Portillo earn a staring role, but there are unlikely to be any changes in the final third with Carles Alena and Takefusa Kubo set to join Jaime Mata in a front three.
Sevilla possible starting lineup:
Bounou; Navas, Kounde, Gomez, Rekik; Torres, Fernando, Jordan; Suso, En-Nesyri, Ocampos
Getafe possible starting lineup:
Yanez; Chakla, Etxeita, Timor; Suarez, Portillo, Maksimovic, Cucurella; Kubo, Mata, Alena
