Prediction published on 1/24/25, 10:15 AM  by Erik Gibbs in LaLiga Picks

Real Sociedad will host Getafe at Anoeta Stadium on Sunday afternoon as they aim to bounce back from recent setbacks in La Liga and European competition. The Basque side enters the fixture following a 3-1 Europa League defeat to Lazio and a 1-0 league loss to Valencia. Meanwhile, Getafe comes into the game after an encouraging 1-1 draw against Barcelona, extending their unbeaten run to four matches in La Liga. Real Sociedad has struggled for consistency this season, sitting in seventh place in La Liga with 28 points from 20 games, including eight wins, four draws, and eight losses. They are just two points behind sixth-placed Mallorca but face mounting pressure to maintain their position in the race for European qualification. At home, their form has been mixed, securing 14 points from 10 matches, though they have won six of their last seven games at Anoeta. Goals have been a concern for Real Sociedad, as they have only managed 17 in the league this season, the third-lowest tally in the competition. Getafe, under José Bordalás, has endured a challenging La Liga campaign, with just four wins in 20 matches. They remain winless in 16 of those games and have struggled offensively, scoring only 14 goals, the joint-lowest in the league. On the road, their form has been particularly poor, managing just one victory all season. However, their defensive solidity, conceding only 17 goals, ranks as the third-best in La Liga, providing a foundation for their recent positive results.
