Getafe vs Real Sociedad

Getafe are aiming to snap a recent slump when they host Real Sociedad in a Friday night Spanish La Liga fixture.

The hosts look completely out of sorts lately and have also struggled at home. They could be in for a difficult time against the visitors, who have done some good work on their recent travels.

Gefate News

Getafe head into Friday's clash off the back of a 1-1 draw at Rayo Vallecano in their previous La Liga fixture. They fought back from a goal down, with Mauro Arambarri’s late effort earning them a share of the spoils.

That result ended a run of four straight defeats for Getafe, who have been well below their best lately. Jose Bordalas' team have also been unconvincing at home, with two wins and three defeats in their last five matches in front of their fans.

One issue for Getafe is an uncharacteristic lack of discipline at the back, and they are without a clean sheet in their last six matches, with five of those fixtures producing over 1.5 goals. However, they have scored in six of their last nine home matches.

Real Sociedad News

Real Sociedad are also coming off a draw, having held out for a 1-1 home scoreline with Atletico Madrid last time out in La Liga. They came from behind to earn the point, with Goncalo Guedes scoring only minutes after the visitors took the lead.

That result means Real Sociedad are now unbeaten in their last three matches and have moved two points clear of the relegation zone. Pellegrino Materazzo’s team are also unbeaten in seven of their last eight away matches, winning at least one half in four of the last five fixtures on this run.

Real Sociedad have scored in seven of their last eight away matches, with all seven fixtures producing over 1.5 goals. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in six fixtures on this run.

Head to Head

Getafe and Real Sociedad have four wins each, with as many draws in their last 12 matches. The hosts claimed a 3-0 away victory in the most recent meeting last January.

Verdict

Getafe v Real Sociedad

There are usually goals in this fixture, and with five of the last six meetings producing over 1.5 goals, a repeat could be considered here. Both teams have been shaky at the back lately and could be backed to score.

Getafe are poor lately and having enjoyed little respite at home, could struggle against Real Sociedad. La Real have won at least one half in four of their last five away matches and could be set for a similar pattern.
