Getafe - Sevilla: Trench battle at the Coliseum with lineups confirmed and Almeyda suspended

Duelo de trincheras: sentence or resurrection
The match has been framed as a duel of trenches between two managers whose teams have been defined by intensity. Sevilla arrives under acute pressure—standing two points from the relegation threshold—and a win at the Coliseum is described as the potential beginning of a resurrection, while a loss could be interpreted as a sentence in the fight to avoid the drop.
Getafe presents itself in a markedly improved phase. Winter additions to the squad have been named: Martín Satriano, Sebastián Boselli, Luis Vázquez, Zaid Romero and Veljko Birmancevic. Three of those signings—Satriano, Luis Vázquez and Romero—have become regular starters, and their inclusion coincided with a run of four matches without defeat, including two consecutive wins that signaled a recovery. That uptick lifted Getafe away from immediate danger and into a more comfortable midtable position, with an advantage over the relegation-threatened group.
Despite the positive run, the blue side will be without several players listed as unavailable for selection: Borja Mayoral, Davinchi, Abu Kamara and Mario Martín. The coach is expected to persist with the winning eleven that overcame Villarreal, and the deployment of Djené in a midfield role alongside Juan Iglesias at left back has shifted from surprise to established reality for the team.
Sevilla enters the Coliseum without Almeyda on the touchline after his dismissal in the home draw against Alavés and a disciplinary outcome that carries a seven-match ban; the first match of that suspension will be served here. The episode that led to the sanction stemmed from an expulsion and a subsequent reaction to the match official. The manager will travel with the squad and will convey instructions from the location permitted to him, but the immediate absence on the bench changes the in-stadium dynamic.
Formally, Sevilla arrives off back-to-back 1-1 home draws against direct rivals in the relegation battle. Away results have been a thorny issue for the side, which has struggled to secure positive outcomes outside its stadium in recent months. This pair of consecutive away fixtures therefore heightens the imperative: only a positive result at the Coliseum will meaningfully ease the pressure.
What to watch and what comes next
Key narrative threads for the match are clear: Getafe aims to consolidate the momentum provided by winter recruits and the recent unbeaten run; Sevilla must overcome managerial absence and fragile form to arrest a dangerous slide. The getafe - sevilla clash could act as a turning point for either side—either consolidating Getafe’s recovery or providing Sevilla with a desperately needed boost toward safety.
Lineups are on the field and warmups are underway; the outcome will determine immediate trajectories in a tight relegation fight, and the ramifications will be felt across the upcoming stretch of fixtures for both clubs.
