ℹ️ Team News: Getafe

Mauro Arambarri (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Borja Mayoral (Meniscus injury) will be missing for Getafe manager José Bordalás.

It’s our opinion that Azulones will probably make use of the 4-4-2 formation for this game with David Soria, Jose Angel Carmona, Djene, Omar Alderete, Diego Rico, Luis Milla, Jesus Santiago, Nemanja Maksimovic, Oscar Rodriguez, Mason Greenwood and Juanmi Latasa.

🗞️ Team News: Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil has to choose a team with limited availability. Carlos Fernández (Meniscus damage), Brais Méndez (Metatarsal fracture) and Aihen Muñoz (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be making appearances.

We are inclined to think that Txuri-urdin will likely begin the game with a 4-4-2 formation, starting the game with Alex Remiro, Hamari Traore, Jon Pacheco, Robin Le Normand, Javi Galan, Arsen Zakharyan, Benat Turrientes, Mikel Merino, Ander Barrenetxea, Sheraldo Becker and Mikel Oyarzabal.

✨ Prediction

Here is a game where Getafe will have a tough ask to put one past this Real Sociedad outfit who should be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

Therefore, we predict a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 victory for Real Sociedad at the end of this game.

Little in this one.
