Sevilla visit Getafe on Sunday at 14:00 for the eleventh league meeting between the sides, with their predicted lineup drawing attention. Odysseas is expected to start in goal, with Juan Iglesias, Kastrin, Kike Salas and Suazo in defence, Agoumé and Fofana in midfield, and Ejuke, Félix Correa and Lucas Stassin behind the striker.
The main question is who will take the final midfield spot: Giorgi Kochorashvili or Manu Bueno. Sevilla could use either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-4-2, depending on the choice, though the lineup being discussed is not official.
Sevilla go into the match after an improvement in results. They are seventh, three points off the Champions League qualification places, having been expected to compete to avoid relegation. They also won 3-0 in a Copa del Rey match this week, and had beaten Osasuna using a 4-4-2 formation. Manu Bueno scored Sevilla's only goal in their match at the Santiago Bernabéu, strengthening his case as a lineup option.
Luis García Plaza's decision centres on whether to stick with the approach that has recently delivered results or adjust the balance of midfield for the trip to Getafe. The final lineup is expected to reveal whether Kochorashvili or Bueno gets the nod.
