The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of games this weekend as Real Sociedad take on Getafe on Sunday. Real Sociedad have been impressive this season and hold the upper hand this weekend.
Getafe are rooted to the bottom of the La Liga standings and have endured a dismal league campaign so far. The Madrid-based outfit suffered a 2-0 defeat against Real Betis last weekend and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been excellent this season. La Real edged Elche to a 1-0 victory in their previous league game and will be confident ahead of this match.
Getafe vs Real Sociedad Head-to-Head
Getafe have a surprisingly excellent record against Real Sociedad and have won 12 out of 26 matches played between the two teams. Real Sociedad have managed seven victories against Getafe and will need to step up in this match.
The previous match between the two teams took place in February this year and ended in a 1-0 victory for Real Sociedad. Getafe failed to make the most of their chances on the day and have a point to prove this weekend.
