Getafe
- Getafe, in 10th place in LaLiga 2025/2026 with 21 points from 18 games, will face Real Sociedad, who are in 15th on 18 points from 18, in a crucial contest of momentum on Friday.
- With Luis Milla pulling the strings, Milla has seven assists in 17 LaLiga appearances, although Borja Mayoral is still the biggest scoring threat for Getafe with four in 14.
- Getafe are in worse form overall with no wins in their last five in all competitions, including a 1-1 away tie at Rayo Vallecano, a 3-1 Copa del Rey defeat at Burgos CF and a 4-0 defeat at Real Betis.
- Their home form is also shaky with no win and one defeat from their last outing at home and that could give Sociedad a better chance of getting something from this encounter.
Real Sociedad
- Real Sociedad are in their worst form of the season with two defeats, two ties, and one win in their last five games.
- Real Sociedad have stuck to their possession-based 4-3-3 or 4-1-4-1 under their new boss Francisco, who is pressing, disciplining his midfield and getting his wide players to rotate into half-spaces where the ball is.
- Mikel Oyarzabal is the main goal threat for the visitors with five goals in 15 appearances in this season’s LaLiga.
- Real Sociedad have won only one of their nine away games in LaLiga this term, with four ties and four defeats that average 1.00 goals scored and 1.33 conceded.
Head-to-Head
- The head-to-head record shows one Getafe win, no wins for Sociedad and two ties in their last three games, although Getafe have failed to beat the San Sebastian club in their last two home games.
- Getafe’s 3-0 win away from home in the equivalent game from 11 months ago in the 2024/25 LaLiga campaign is still vivid in the memory.
