Despite sitting at opposite ends of the table, the gap between 7th-placed Real Sociedad and 16th-placed Getafe is just 8 points. Real Sociedad are only 2 points away from the European spots, while Getafe are barely a point above the relegation zone. This highlights how tight the margins are in La Liga, making the league unpredictable and full of surprises. It’s clear that anything can happen here.
Real Sociedad Team News
It’s been a tough week for Real Sociedad, one they’d probably prefer to forget. A heavy 3-1 loss to Lazio in the Europa League was preceded by a narrow 1-0 defeat to Valencia in the previous La Liga round. These two losses have brought an end to what had been a solid run of form, where Sociedad had only lost once in their previous 10 matches across all competitions. However, the team is still just 2 points off a top-6 spot, and with a home game next, there’s reason for optimism. At home, Sociedad are unbeaten in their last 7 fixtures across all competitions, winning 6 of them. In La Liga specifically, they are also unbeaten in their last 4 home league matches.
Getafe CF Team News
While Real Sociedad might be favored due to their impressive recent home form, Getafe are experiencing a resurgence of their own, currently unbeaten in their last 4 competitive fixtures. It’s worth noting that Getafe’s strong performances in the Copa del Rey have helped improve their overall statistics. However, when focusing solely on La Liga, the picture changes. Despite their recent 1-2 win away at Las Palmas, Getafe have generally struggled on the road. That victory marks their only away La Liga win this season, and they’ve accumulated just 5 points from their away matches, ranking among the worst-performing teams in the league on the road.
Head-to-Head-Games
Real Sociedad hold a slight edge in the recent head-to-head against Getafe, having won 2 of the last 4 encounters. However, the most recent two meetings between the sides ended in draws. At home, Sociedad have been dominant over Getafe, remaining unbeaten in their last 4 matches at the Anoeta Stadium, with 3 of those games ending in victories.

Real Sociedad – Getafe CF Betting Prediction
I expect this to be a close game, but I’m backing Real Sociedad to come out on top. Their home form has been solid recently, even though the team has been a bit inconsistent this season. After a tough week, Sociedad will be eager to bounce back with a win, especially against one of the worst-performing away teams in La Liga – Getafe. While Getafe have managed to pick up a few good results lately, a good chunk of those have come in the Copa del Rey. Their struggles on the road in La Liga, however, highlight the challenges they face when trying to secure points away from home.
