Getafe away, and a chance to climb
Sevilla are at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez to face Getafe in La Liga round 11, Sunday 1 November, kickoff 14:00 CET (1). You go in sixth on 17 points from 10 games, goal difference zero.
Two wins in a row. 2–0 at home to Osasuna on 26 October, then 3–0 away at Sporting Hortaleza in the Copa del Rey on 29 October. Before that it was 4–1 at Real Madrid on 18 October, so the mood has flipped fast.
Raphinha's form is a warning for later
Raphinha scored twice in the first half for Barça against Alavés, and he has now found the net in seven of fourteen matches this season, Sevilla among them (2). Sevilla lost that one 1–3 at home to Barcelona on 19 September.
He heads off with Brazil to Singapore after the Aston Villa and Atlético games (2). Nothing to do with your team's afternoon, but worth knowing how sharp the man who hurt you is right now.
Alavés at the Sánchez-Pizjuán on 6 November
After Getafe comes Alavés at home, Friday 6 November at 21:00 CET. Three points at the Coliseum would make that a much nicer evening.
