Real Sociedad vs Getafe

Real Sociedad follows their disappointing two match loss record with a La Liga encounter versus Getafe at Anoeta Stadium on Sunday.

Getafe holds an impressive four-match unbeaten streak this season following their 1-1 draw against Barcelona in La Liga last weekend. The hosts faced Lazio in the Europa League and lost 3-1 but remain fourth with 32 points in La Liga.

Real Sociedad made a successful start to 2025 by collecting three consecutive victories across all events before they defeated Villarreal in La Liga and atop that won two Copa del Rey matches to reach the tournament's quarter-final stage.

After suffering a 1-0 La Liga defeat to Valencia alongside a 3-1 Europa League loss to Lazio in the previous matches Alguacil's squad faces two straight setbacks.

Real Sociedad sit in seventh position during La Liga with eight victories and four draws alongside eight losses resulting in their cumulative 28 points but remain two points short of sixth-placed Mallorca.

The Basque outfit achieve inconsistent results at home since collecting only fourteen points across their ten games in front of their fans but Getafe arrives to La Merced Stadium with one solitary away win from their 2025 campaign.
The Spanish club Getafe kicked off 2025 successfully by achieving victory three times in a row including a 2-1 defeat of Las Palmas both in La Liga and in two near-contiguous Copa del Rey matches against Granada and Pontevedra which have positioned them in the quarter-finals of the tournament.

Both of these teams have struggled mightily this season in terms of goals; Getafe has the third-worst record in La Liga with just 17 goals, while Real Sociedad is tied for the lowest with 14.

All the signs point to a low-scoring match, though, as both teams have played strong defense. Real Sociedad has the second-best defensive record, giving up just 14 goals, while Getafe has the third-best record, giving up 17.

After serving a league suspension the previous time out, Real Sociedad will welcome back defender Jon Aramburu to their squad. However, Hamari Traore is still sidelined due to a knee injury.

Arambarri's slight injury sustained against Barcelona may prevent Getafe from using him, and Allan Nyom's muscular issue will once more prevent him from being selected.

Getafe’s La Liga campaign has been far from impressive this season. They have failed to secure victories in 16 of their 20 league matches and have struggled to find the net in five of their last eight games. On the other hand, while Real Sociedad also endured a rocky start, they have shown noticeable improvement in recent weeks.

Despite Getafe’s hopes for a turnaround, their Sunday clash in La Liga presents a tough challenge as they face Real Sociedad away from home. Adding to Getafe’s concerns, Sociedad has remained unbeaten in four of their last six league outings.

Looking at their head-to-head history, Real Sociedad has dominated the matchup, avoiding defeat in eight of the last 10 encounters against Getafe. Additionally, Sociedad’s home advantage has been evident, winning three of the last four meetings at this venue, with many of those matches being one-sided affairs.

Real Sociedad’s home form has been solid, with six wins from their last seven games on home turf. They have also scored four goals across their last four league matches at home. In contrast, Getafe has struggled on the road, managing just a single win throughout the season so far.
