The games in the Spanish La Liga continue to come at a relentless pace and on Monday the 29th of June we have a meeting between Getafe and Real Sociedad at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. This is an important game for both teams as they aim to qualify for European football next season. Getafe begin the game on 49 points while Real Sociedad have 47 points.
Getafe will be hoping to end their run of 5 matches in La Liga without a win. They have played 4 games since the resumption of La Liga and have managed to pick up only 3 points. Getafe started with a 2-1 defeat at Granada and were then held to a 0-0 draw at home by bottom of the table Espanyol.
Getafe then played at home for a second game in succession but once again they failed to pick up maximum points. This time they were held to a 1-1 draw by Eibar. Getafe’s most recent match came away at Real Valladolid on Tuesday night and they picked up another point in a 1-1 draw.
Trends show Getafe are difficult to beat at home and they have lost only one of their last 7 home games in all competitions. However, they have been held in each of their last 3 home league games and each of those matches has seen under 2.5 goals scored. Getafe themselves have managed to score only one goal in their last 4 home La Liga games.
Real Sociedad are in danger of completely missing out on European football next season having previously had a strong possibility of qualifying for the Champions League. However, they have struggled since coming back from the break and have lost 3 of their last 4 matches.
The defeats have come away at Alaves and at home against both Real Madrid and Celta Vigo. The only point Real Sociedad have won since the resumption of the league came in their first game back at home against Osasuna and the match finished in a 1-1 draw.
Away form shows Real Sociedad have lost 4 of their last 5 league games. In addition to the defeat at Alaves, Real Sociedad have lost against Real Betis, Leganes and Barcelona. Trends show Real Sociedad have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 6 away La Liga matches.
Looking ahead to the team news and Getafe will be without Djené Dakonam who is suspended for this game. Goalkeeper Filip Manojlovic is injured and there are doubts over the fitness of Erick Cabaco and Oghenekaro Etebo.
Real Sociedad travel without Asier Illarramendi who is suspended. The midfielder is also injured so would not have played anyway and he is joined on the treatment table by Ander Barrenetxea Muguruza, Ander Guevara and Luca Sangalli.
This has the makings of being a very tight game and it would be a surprise if we saw more than 2 goals scored. This match could end level with under 2.5 goals.
