Real Sociedad is set to host Getafe in a highly anticipated La Liga clash on Wednesday at the Reale Arena in San Sebastián. Both teams come into this match with distinct motivations as they vie for crucial points in the league.
Sociedad, fresh from lifting the Copa del Rey, is focused on securing a Champions League spot. They recently played to a thrilling 3-3 draw against Alavés, showcasing their offensive prowess while exposing defensive vulnerabilities. However, fatigue from the recent cup final may be a concern, especially with several first-team players likely absent due to squad rotation. On home ground, Sociedad boasts an unbeaten streak, enhancing their stance as favorites.
Meanwhile, Getafe remains in contention for a European position, although they suffered a 0-1 defeat to Levante in their last game. Despite this setback, they have secured victories in six of their last nine matches, reflecting a relatively strong form. Known for their counter-attacking style of play, Getafe will aim to disrupt Sociedad’s rhythm and leverage their disciplined defending, even in the face of some injuries in central defense.
Probable lineups
- Real Sociedad: Alex, Muñoz, Martin, Ćaleta-Car, Aramburu, Soler, Gorrotxategi, Marín, Méndez, Kubo, Óskarsson
