LiontipsGetafe vs. Real Sociedad. Prediction (odds 3.40) and bets on the match of the Spanish championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Getafe missed out on a midweek round by Betis, who were in the Europa League, and so they had the whole week to dedicate to this Sunday’s match against Real Sociedad. Their understrength squad held Rayo Vallecano to a goalless draw in the second round to maintain their unbeaten start despite a transfer market crisis that head coach José Bordalás has explicitly warned could lead to their relegation. The first two weeks have been an improvement on their end of the 2023/24 season, in which they lost all five of their last La Liga games.
Injuries and disqualifications
Mayor (knee injury) and Rodriguez (ankle injury) will not be able to take to the football field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Getafe have failed to score in all but one of their last nine La Liga defeats
- Chrysanthus Uche marked his debut for the club by equalising against Athletic and scoring his first career goal
- Diego Rico and Alex Sola could offer Getafe a unique perspective on their rivals as former Basque club players
- The Blues have only won one of their last 13 official duels
Estimated line-up : Soria - Alderte, Djene, Iguesias Sanchez - Sola, Santiago, Mila, Rivera, Alena - Gomez, Uche.
Current form
Real Sociedad lost 2-1 to Alaves on the final day with 10 men, a repeat of the start to last season in which they picked up just three points from their opening three rounds. The Basques have recovered from last season's third round, scoring 14 goals en route to winning four of their next five league games, so they will be hoping for history to repeat itself. But manager Imanol Alguacil, who was "very, very angry" after their defeat to Alaves, will have to cope this week without suspended striker Mikel Oyarzabal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Zakharyan (ankle injury), Elustondo (ankle injury), Ordiozola (knee injury) and Oyarzabal (red card) will not be able to play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Real Sociedad have failed to win 11 of their last 19 away league games when they were early favourites
- Takefusa Kubo scored the only goal away to Espanyol and will be hoping to beat his former employers Getafe for the first time
- The visitors have won two of their last three head-to-head matches.
Probable line-up : Remiro – Traore, Cardona, Martin, Lopez – Marin, Gonzalez, Mendez, Barrent – Becker.

2.55Tip and bets
In this match we are on the side of active football, because there are national team games ahead, which will give an opportunity to rest from the active start in La Liga. The visitors started terribly and will try to succeed, while the capital club had more time to rest, which will help them actively move forward. We assume that today both teams will be able not only to please with their activity, but also to realize their moments.
Our prediction is both will score and we are betting on it with odds of 2.20
Bet on the outcome
Today the visitors are considered the favorites, but we do not agree with this. A terrible start and the loss of leaders can play a cruel joke on the Basques. Most likely, the "Blues" will be able to take advantage of the home arena and the support of the stands, which will ultimately bring Getafe an important victory in the tournament and moral terms.
Prediction: Getafe win and we bet on it with odds of 3.40
Bet on a penalty
Most likely, everything can be decided by VAR, which will find a violation in the penalty area, which will decide the outcome of the confrontation. Moreover, in two of the last five face-to-face matches, a kick from 11 meters was awarded.
Betting Tip - penalty (yes) for 2.55
