Getafe CF: A Struggle for Stability
Getafe CF is currently navigating a challenging season in LaLiga, sitting precariously in 16th place. Their recent 1-1 draw against Barcelona showcased their resilience, but their form has been inconsistent, with a record of 4 wins, 8 draws, and 8 losses. The team has struggled offensively, averaging just 0.70 goals per game, and has kept a clean sheet in only 12 matches. Notably, Getafe has lost their last four matches, a streak they will be desperate to end against Real Sociedad. The absence of key players due to injuries and suspensions has further compounded their woes, making this upcoming fixture crucial for their survival hopes.
Real Sociedad: Aiming for European Glory
Real Sociedad, under the astute management of Imanol Alguacil, is in a competitive position for European qualification. With 8 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses, they are in the mix for a top-six finish. Their recent 1-0 victory over Barcelona highlighted their potential to compete at the highest level. However, their away form has been less than stellar, with a record of 1 win, 4 draws, and 4 losses. The team has been buoyed by the performances of Alexander Sorloth and Mikel Oyarzabal, who have been instrumental in their attacking play. The speculation surrounding Martin Zubimendi's future has been a distraction, but his commitment to the club remains strong.
Head-to-Head: A Balanced Rivalry
Historically, matches between Getafe and Real Sociedad have been closely contested. Getafe has a slight edge when playing at home, having won 9 of the last 17 encounters. The most common result in their meetings is a 2-1 scoreline, which has occurred 9 times. However, Real Sociedad has had the upper hand in recent fixtures, losing just once in their last five encounters with Getafe. The last meeting between these sides ended in a 3-0 victory for Getafe, but Real Sociedad's current form suggests they are better positioned to claim victory this time.
Prediction: Real Sociedad to Edge It
Considering the current form and historical context, Real Sociedad is favored to win this encounter. Getafe's recent struggles and Real Sociedad's superior performance in recent matches tilt the balance in favor of the visitors. Both teams have shown a tendency to score in their encounters, making it likely that both teams will find the net. Therefore, the prediction is for an away win with both teams to score.
