Sevilla's Record at Getafe's Coliseum Bodes Well — But History Has a Habit of Lying
Sevilla head to the Coliseum in decent historical nick, but Getafe have a knack for spoiling the party. Here's what the stats say ahead of Saturday's clash.
Almeyda’s Sevilla are in full-on survival mode, and the fixture list isn’t exactly doing them any favours right now — back-to-back away days in La Liga, starting with Saturday’s trip to Getafe, before the small matter of the Seville derby against Betis the week after. No pressure, lads.
The Recent Record Looks Decent, Actually
If you’re a Sevilla fan, the recent head-to-head at the Coliseum is one of the few things you can feel relatively calm about. In their last ten visits to Getafe’s ground, the Nervionenses have only lost twice, picking up six wins and a couple of draws along the way. That run stretches back to a 2-1 defeat in February 2015, so we’re talking over a decade of pretty solid away form at this particular ground.
- Last 10 visits to Coliseum: 6W, 2D, 2L
- All-time in Madrid: Getafe lead with 10 wins from 22, Sevilla have 8, with 5 draws
So while the recent form flatters Sevilla, zoom out a bit and Getafe have actually edged things overall across all encounters on their patch. Swings and roundabouts, innit.
What Happened Last Time Out
The most recent league meeting at the Coliseum ended 0-0 — not exactly a classic, but the kind of point that can feel massive depending on where you are in the table. Go back one more year to 2024 though, and it’s a much better memory for Sevilla supporters.
That one was settled by a solitary Sergio Ramos goal — his fifth of the season — as a Sevilla side managed by Quique Sánchez Flores nicked three crucial points in what was very much a relegation scrap. The fact that Ramos, a Sevillano through and through, was the man to do it made it all the sweeter.
Ramos and the Copa Connection
And it wasn’t just in the league that El Camero left his mark at the Coliseum. Back in January 2024, Sevilla came from behind in the Copa del Rey to win 3-1 and book their place in the quarter-finals. Mata had equalised after Ramos opened the scoring, but Isaac Romero then bagged a brace to complete the turnaround. Proper away-day stuff.
The Bigger Picture
For Almeyda, this is very much a game-by-game situation. The derby is looming large in everyone’s minds, but Getafe away is no gimme — they’re notoriously difficult to beat on home soil, and they’ll be well up for it. Sevilla’s recent record at the Coliseum gives genuine reason for optimism, but as any football fan knows, stats have a funny way of going out the window once the whistle blows.
Kick-off is at 14:00 on Saturday. Buckle up.
