Getafe vs Real Sociedad prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2026-01-08 20:00.
[p]Mid-table Getafe are looking to arrest a recent slump when they host a struggling Real Sociedad side, with both sitting uncomfortably close to the La Liga relegation zone.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Getafe scored late to rescue a 1-1 draw against fellow mid-table dwellers Rayo Vallecano at the weekend, though that result stretched their winless run across all competitions to five matches (D1, L4). The Azulones’ early-season European ambitions have faded fast as they start the round just five points clear of the drop zone despite sitting inside the top half of the table! JosĂ© Bordalás’ men have alternated between losses and wins across their last five home league fixtures (W2, L3), a sequence they’ll hope continues here having lost their last game at the Coliseum to Espanyol (1-0), but as only two sides have scored fewer home goals than Getafe’s seven, that’s far from a foregone conclusion.[/p]
[p]Real Sociedad also drew 1-1 after trailing at the weekend, frustrating Atlético Madrid to stretch a low-key unbeaten run to three matches (W1, D2). It also marked a solid start to life as Sociedad boss for Pellegrino Matarazzo, who is tasked with rescuing La Real’s season as they’ve posted their worst points tally at this stage of the campaign since 2015/16. Their gap to the relegation zone stands at just two points, so further slip-ups on the road, where Sociedad have won just once in La Liga this term (D4, L4), cannot be afforded.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Getafe won 3-0 the last time that these sides faced each other last January, ending a four-match winless H2H run in the process (D2, L2). Three of the last four meetings at the Coliseum ended level.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Getafe haven’t led any of their last 14 league games at half-time. [/p]
[p]Getafe have scored just four first-half goals in La Liga this season. [/p]
[p]Sociedad’s last 18 goals scored across all competitions all arrived after the half-hour mark. [/p]
[p]Sociedad have conceded the opening goal in a league-high 12 matches this term.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Mauro Arambarri got Getafe’s leveller at Rayo, meaning he has not been on the losing side in his last 11 scoring appearances (W6, D5). Gonçalo Guedes’ equaliser against Atlético was the third of his four Sociedad goals to arrive between half-time and the hour-mark, but he’s faced no side more often than Getafe (eight) without registering a goal involvement.[/p]
[p]DjenĂ© and Domingos Duarte are both suspended for Getafe, while Mario MartĂn may also miss out after going off injured against Rayo. Sociedad do not seem to have any fresh absentees. [/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Given that Getafe don’t score many goals before half-time and Sociedad’s games are often slow burners, we think there’s a good chance this match could be 0-0 at the break. [/p]
