Getafe - Real Sociedad betting tips and odds

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Getafe fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Real Sociedad would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

The visitors are not walking into an easy match by any means, but they should be able to come out on top. Winning this match will be a welcome boost to their rankings, though such an outcome is priced at 2.25.

Although Getafe’s previous La Liga outing at Valencia was a crushing away loss, it’s hard to judge their form based on that performance alone. After all, they were out-classed by Valencia , who secured an early lead and a comfortable 5:1 victory in the end.

Although Real Sociedad were the home team in their previous La Liga match, bookmakers online predicted that they will lose to Atlético Madrid. After a rocky first half, however, they managed to equalize and end the match on a 1:1 draw.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Real Sociedad have a record of uneventful away matches. Specifically, their previous 2 games as visitors featured 1 goal or less.

The home team are hoping to scrape together enough points to move out of the relegation zone, though it seems like an extremely unlikely outcome to this match. We’re only a few rounds into the season, though.

Most bookies agree that both teams could realistically win. Team from San Sebastian’s motivation is clear - 2 points stand between them and their Europa goals. The season has only just begun, which leaves plenty of time to earn said points.

The last time these two teams met in a La Liga match was last season, and the game ended in a draw. The betting odds see Real Sociedad as more likely to gain the upper hand, however.

Though the visitors are clearly considered favourites, they’ll have some additional hurdles to overcome for this match. Namely, Diego Rico, Guevara, Carlos Fernández, Mikel Oyarzabal, Martín Merquelanz will all be kept from the game due to injury. It’s a precarious position despite the team’s strength and should be kept in mind when looking at the betting odds.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.80, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
