Sevilla travel to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Sunday at 14:00 for their 11th league meeting with Getafe, and the expected starting XI is taking shape. Based on the sports press view, Sevilla are projected to line up with Odysseas in goal; Juan Iglesias, Castrín, Kike Salas and Suazo in defense; Agoumé and Fofana in midfield; Ejuke, Félix Correia and Lucas Stassin behind the striker; and one remaining place that appears to be the main doubt.
That uncertainty is in midfield, where the choice is between Giorgi Kochorashvili and Manu Bueno. The projected setup could lean toward either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-4-2, depending on the final decision. It is not an official lineup, but it reflects the most likely plan seen in the build-up to Getafe vs Sevilla.
Sevilla arrive with momentum
This is a different Sevilla from the one many expected before the season. They were projected on paper to be fighting to avoid relegation, yet they are now seventh and just three points off the Champions places. Their good results and improved image have shifted the conversation from survival to a more realistic European target.
The timing matters as well. Sevilla won a Copa del Rey match 0-3 this week, and that follows the 4-4-2 used against Osasuna, a game they won. At the Bernabéu, Manu Bueno also scored Sevilla's only goal, adding another reason his name is in the mix for Sunday.
For Luis García Plaza, the key decision is whether to keep the structure that has worked or adjust the midfield balance for the trip to Getafe. The club's recent form suggests Sevilla have earned some room to think bigger, but this match still looks like one of the more important tests of their progress. If the predicted XI is accurate, the main focus will be whether Kochorashvili or Manu Bueno gets the nod in a side that has already shown it can handle different systems.
