Getafe and Real Sociedad meet on Sunday afternoon in Madrid, as the sides aim for full points for different reasons. Estadio Coliseum will play host for matchday 32 as the hosts start in ninth place with 39 points, while the visitors are sixth with 50 points. Any hopes Getafe may have had in their push for a European spot are dashed with a 0-0 draw against lowly Rayo Vallecano. That result has extended their poor form over the last seven league games, drawing and losing three games each. The only win in this sequence has come against top-three side Girona, a reminder of how good they can be on their day. The challenge for the home team is to consolidate their gains at home, where they have been slightly better. Getafe have won two of their last four home league games, drawing and losing one each.

Sociedad is three points ahead of seventh-placed Valencia and is currently in the Europa League qualification slot. With a five-point lead over the chasing pack for European slots, the visitors look set for a finish in at least the seventh spot. Sociedad dropped points in a 2-2 draw against Almeria last time out, conceding a late penalty, but have been impressive otherwise. That draw halted a three-game winning run in the league, giving Sociedad a push in the right direction. Two of those games saw Sociedad manage a clean sheet, something they would be keen to replicate here. The visitors still have one of the best defensive records in the division, conceding only 33 so far. The claims are solidified on the road, where Sociedad have won three of their last four away league games.
