Real Sociedad hosts Getafe in the 8th round of the Spanish La Liga. Real Sociedad is not managing to repeat the performances from the last 2 seasons and it is seen that losing players like Griezmann has taken a lot from their quality. They still have potential with players like Vela and won the most interesting match of the season vs. Real Madrid 4-2 but it was only great performance for Sociedad and actually only win of the season for them … 1 win, 2 draws, 4 losses. At home they are more decent: 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss.
Sociedad lost 3 out of last 4 games and last round they lost 2-0 at Espanyol. For today Sociedad has some serious problems with missing players: Rulli, Pardo, Elustondo, De la Bella and Cadamuro are all injured.
Bet on Real Sociedad – Getafe with the best odds on the web offered by Pinnacle.
Getafe sits 2 places above of Sociedad in the table (14th place) and has not lost in the last two rounds (1-0 vs Malaga, 1-1 vs Cordoba). But Getafe’s problem is on road games … Getafe lost all 3 away games with a 1-7 goal difference. The visitors have a very modest roster but are managing because of good tactical discipline to stay safe from the relegation zone … at least for now. For sure Getafe will feel this is their best chance so far to get a point a way from home. Visitors miss Lacen, Vasquez and Pedro Leon.
Odds for a Sociedad win are really short in my opinion. Sociedad lost a lot of attacking strength and scored only 8 goals this season (4 vs. Real Madrid) … while Getafe is a super defensive side with only 4 goals scored. Getafe will miss their main (and only?) striker Vasquez for this game. I am surprised odds for under 2,5 goals are almost equal with those for over 2,5 goals. Sociedad is not the same all-out attacking team as in last seasons … they are struggling to break teams down and it will not be easy vs. a Getafe team that will park the bus hoping for a 0-0 draw. I see a slow game wit Sociedad keeping possession and trying to find ways to score. Under 2,5 goals will be my tip. Correct score prediction: Real Sociedad – Getafe 1-0.
