Sevilla coach Garcia Pepper had a difficult start at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan after his side picked up just two points from their first four La Liga games.

Garcia Pimienta began his tenure with a 2-2 draw against his former employers Las Palmas, before watching his side concede a goal in injury time and lose 2-1 at home to Villarreal.

After a frustrating goalless draw with Mallorca, Sevilla lost 2-0 at home to Girona in their last game. Garcia Pimienta therefore went into the international break without a win and with his team in the relegation zone.

Despite only being four games old in the season, the Sevilla head coach is already under pressure to turn things around for the better, and his side will certainly be expected to perform well in their next three winnable games against Getafe, Alaves and Real Valladolid.

Garcia Pimienta has only faced Getafe twice in his coaching career, with his team Las Palmas taking four points from the Azulones in the 2023–24 season thanks to a 2–0 home win and a 3–3 away draw.

Getafe are undefeated this season but are still waiting for their first win after three draws in their first games.

José Bordalas His side held Athletic Bilbao to a hard-fought 1-1 draw at San Mames before remaining goalless in their first home game against Rayo Vallecano.

The Azulones again achieved a goalless result in their last game before the international break against Real Sociedad, keeping two consecutive clean sheets in La Liga for the first time since December 2023.

After the international break, Getafe now prepare for two away trips to Seville. The Azulones face Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Saturday before returning to the Andalusian capital to face Real Betis on Wednesday.

Saturday's visitors will fondly remember their last trip to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in December 2023, when they produced a goal-rich performance to secure a convincing 3-0 win.

We think: Sevilla 1-1 Getafe

Sevilla have had a disappointing start to the season and we believe they could be even more frustrating against a defensively strong Getafe side. We think Getafe will be enough to take a point from Saturday's game.
