Real Sociedad Team Overview
⚪ The "Royals" approach the upcoming match as the holders of the Spanish Cup. Despite expending significant energy midweek, they managed to turn their efforts into a tangible result. However, Real Sociedad's objectives in the national championship remain unchanged-the "White and Blues" aim to finish the season within the top six. Currently, Pellegrino Matarazzo's side sits in 7th place, just 2 points shy of the coveted European competition spots. Let's take a look at Real Sociedad's average performance metrics: they score 1.58 goals per game while conceding 1.55.
🔵 Last weekend, Real Sociedad lifted the Copa del Rey, defeating Atletico Madrid (3-2 on penalties) in the final. Pellegrino Matarazzo's team played as the underdog but was certainly not lacking in activity on the opponent's half. Just consider the expected goals ratio: 1.68 to 1.52 in favor of the "Colchoneros." The arrival of the American specialist now seems like an absolutely correct and well-considered decision made by the "Royals'" management.

Getafe Team Overview
🔵 The "City" team is certainly not an easy opponent for any La Liga side at this point in the season. José Bordalás has not only instilled resilience in his players but also fine-tuned their tactical approach. Getafe now appear to be a highly adaptable team, capable of adjusting to the strengths of various opponents. Currently, the team from the namesake city holds the 8th position in the standings, trailing the top 6 by just 3 points. Let's note their average performance metrics-0.87 goals scored per game while conceding 1.03.
📌 In the previous round of La Liga, Getafe suffered a disappointing setback in their away clash with Levante (0:1). Despite organizational issues faced by the "Frogs," they managed to dominate their opponent. Just look at the expected goals ratio: 2.9 to 0.29 in favor of Levante. Creative struggles have been a perennial issue for Getafe under José Bordalás. The Spanish coach is a proponent of a pragmatic tactical style, based on a formation with five defenders. Mauro Arambarri is Getafe's top scorer in the current La Liga campaign, with 6 goals in 30 matches.

Real Sociedad
🎤 Real Sociedad's head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo shared his thoughts on their emphatic Copa del Rey victory: "It's hard to find the right words. This is the result of immense effort and complete dedication. The staff, players, fans-the support has been incredible. This is an unforgettable journey, and I feel it's just the beginning. It was crucial to manage the pace, minimize risks, and capitalize on counter-attacking opportunities. At the same time, we needed to defend smartly. And, of course, the character of this team was decisive. A huge thank you to all the fans. I know this moment has brought happiness to many people, and that means a lot to me. It's a special day. We need to continue in the same spirit. We have ambitions, with seven matches ahead, and we want to achieve more. I'm proud to be the coach of this club. This is what we've been working towards in recent weeks."
❌ Among the unavailable players for Real Sociedad are Sergio Gomez (suspension), Alvaro Odriozola (knee injury), and Inaki Ruperes (knee injury).
Getafe
📰 The tactical approach is fairly straightforward and lacks uniqueness- the Spanish coach opts for a low defensive block to prevent the creation of open spaces. Nonetheless, this model remains effective as the "city team" relies on their physical conditioning and character. Interestingly, Getafe maintain their quality on the road, securing 20 points from 16 away matches. Whether they can bring their unpredictability to the clash in San Sebastián will be revealed soon.
❌ Among the unavailable players for Getafe are Domingos Duarte (suspension), Zaid Romero (suspension), and Juanmi (leg injury).
⚽ Goal Prediction
Getafe are arguably the most defensive team in the league, consistently posing challenges for their opponents. Notably, in 6 of their last 7 matches, no more than two goals were scored. It's crucial to consider Getafe's average scoring metrics - they average 0.9 goals per match while conceding 1. A well-founded betting option would be under 2.5 total goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In each of the last 10 head-to-head encounters, there have been no more than 10 corner kicks. Let's look at the average number of corners conceded by each side in the current La Liga season: "the Royals" average 4.7, while "the City team" average 5. Our editorial team anticipates a slow-paced game with numerous aerial duels, which is unlikely to lead to a high number of corner kicks. Our pick is under 9.5 total corners.
Editorial Prediction
There is a high likelihood that Real Sociedad may lack freshness in their upcoming clash with a tenacious opponent. The "City" side are adept at neutralizing their rivals' attacking threats and can capitalize on physical play. The head-to-head history does not indicate a clear advantage for either side. Based on the above, we predict a final score of 1-1. Key bet - Getafe will not lose.
