Both seeking a place in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, Getafe and Sevilla clash at the Coliseum on Tuesday evening.
The pair are separated by 10 points in La Liga, with the hosts holding a significant advantage over their Andalucian counterparts, but they now go head-to-head in Spain's national cup competition.
After coming through two previous rounds earlier this season, the Madrid club progressed to the last 16 thanks to Luis Milla's 87th-minute winner in Barcelona.
That helped Getafe bounce straight back from an awful start to 2024, when Jose Bordalas saw his team's four-game unbeaten run brought to an abrupt halt by Rayo Vallecano, who left the Spanish capital with a 2-0 win after Mason Greenwood, Damian Suarez and Juanmi Latasa were sent off.
While Los Azulones slipped up against Rayo, the Coliseum had hitherto proved a tough place for away sides to visit - they have lost just once at home in La Liga, while averaging a healthy two points per game.
