Key stats

Correct score prediction: Getafe 0-0 Real Sociedad
Both teams have selection issues up top and are missing their most reliable forwards with Borja Mayoral and Mikel Oyarzabal unavailable. Getafe games have been particularly tight in recent times, with both of their league matches this season ending level, and this looks like it could go the same way.

Player to watch – Brais Mendez
There aren’t many obvious goal threats in this game, but Brais Mendez is one. The Real Sociedad midfielder registered five goals and six assists in La Liga last term, and has already netted this season.
Brais to try his luck
In a game that may not serve up many chances, the 27-year-old is likely to have a pop from range. He averaged 2.1 shots per game last season in the Spanish top flight.
