Getafe vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips

Only 1 point separates these two clubs in the league and both are looking to move further away from the relegation zone and towards mid-table safety.

Getafe were beaten 4-1 at the Bernabeu last weekend but given they were 4-0 down within 38 minutes with Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo looking hungry for more, in a strange kind of way they might go into this game with some confidence from a spirited 2nd half showing.

In any case they are much more comfortable on home soil. They have won 4 of their last 6 home games in La Liga with champions Barcelona the only side to go away with all 3 points in that run. They’ve beaten Villarreal, Las Palmas, Levante and Malaga at home in recent weeks, scoring 10 goals in those matches without conceding once so the visit of Real Sociedad is unlikely to worry them. Therefore Getafe look really good here in the ‘draw no bet’ market at 8/11.

Their Basque opponents may have taken 6 points from their 3 games since Eusebio Sacristán took charge but were a little fortunate to win late on against Eibar last time out. Their dependence on the goals of Imanol Agirretxe was once again evident. Only Neymar and Luis Suarez have scored more Primera Division goals than the 28 year old this term and with 11 goals he has scored over 70% of his team’s goals this season, by some distance the highest percentage in the league.

If Getafe can keep him quiet they will fancy their chances of winning the match and look good value for a 2-1 win at 9/1.
