Real Sociedad comes into action in the 35th round against the higher ranked Getafe. The mutual encounter earlier this season ended in a meager 1-0 win for Getafe, after three minutes of play the final final score was already on the scoreboard. Who is the strongest in the Anoeta?
Real Sociedad:
The Basque Real Sociedad will end this season with mixed feelings. From the beginning, there is actually no level to be drawn on the performance of the Txuri-Urdin and will therefore in all likelihood end exactly in the middle bracket. The change of trainers during Christmas caused a temporary shock effect, but in the last few weeks the quality of the blue and white is no longer an issue. In the mid-week match with Villarreal, the men of coach Imanol Alguacil also suffered painful loss, in the final phase the team let themselves be eaten cheese (0-1).
It was the ninth time in the last ten league matches that Real Sociedad suffered point loss, although it will undoubtedly have to do with the overcrowded infirmary that the trainer is struggling with. In addition, the form of a gooe thief Willian José has reached an impasse, the 27-year-old Brazilian only once found the net in the last seven games. With 41 points, the Basques currently occupy eleventh place in the rankings, both relegation and European football are no longer among the serious options. This brings the season to an early end and the club can focus on next year.
Getafe:
Seasonal revelation Getafe came into action on Thursday-evening against fellow-countryman Real Madrid, the team of coach José Bordalás needed at least one point to maintain fourth place in the ranking. Although De Koninklijke had some imposed chances, the blue shirts managed to hold up nicely. In the final phase, several players in a carembole before the goal still had the 1-0 on the slipper, but in the end both parties could be satisfied with the scoreless draw.
Based on mutual results, Los Azulones still have an advantage over direct competitor Seville. With that Getafe is still fully in the race for Champions League football, the club will still have to work hard to ensure a starting ticket for the million ball. In two weeks the squatter with FC Barcelona is scheduled, although the advantage for Getafe is that the Catalans will already be champions by that time. Furthermore, the men from Bordalás will travel with confidence to Real Sociedad, since October 2005 only one game was lost in San Sebastian.
PREDICTION: Over 1,5 goals @ 1,46
