Real Sociedad come into this game in a celebratory mood after beating Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday. It was an exciting game that started with a Real Sociedad goal in the first minute of the match and the Basque team also scored a goal in the final seconds of the first half. Atletico Madrid managed to get back into the game both times, but Real Sociedad had more composure during the penalty shootout to win their fourth Copa del Rey.
So, with a spot in the Europa League secured, it seems that Real Sociedad really don't have much to fight for in La Liga since they are currently seventh in the standings and the best they could do is climb up to fifth place, where Real Betis are currently four points ahead. However, Spain could be allocated an extra spot in the Champions League based on how their teams do in Europe until the end of the season, so a fifth place could mean a spot in the UCL.
With that in mind, Real Sociedad will certainly try to quickly put the Copa del Rey behind them and fight for fifth place. Their recent form in the league has been inconsistent, with seven points from their last five games.
Inaki Ruperez, Igor Zubeldia, Alvaro Odriozola, and Arsen Zakharyan are on the team's injury list, while Sergio Gomez is suspended.
On the other side, Getafe are having one of their best seasons in recent years. Heading into this game, they are eighth in the standings, one point behind Real Sociedad and five points behind fifth-placed Real Betis. So, Getafe could get a spot in some European competition if they can do well in the rest of the season.
With that in mind, their recent form is a cause for optimism since Getafe have won four of their last six games in the league.
Meanwhile, Getafe will be without suspended Domingos Duarte and Zaid Romero, while Juanmi and Borja Mayoral are injured.

Whispers predicts: Real Sociedad 1-2 Getafe
Real Sociedad are among the teams that average the most total goals per game in the league (3.13), so 13/8 odds on over 2.5 total goals seem very tempting.
That being said, we expect a close game that Getafe could end up winning since Real Sociedad are still in a celebratory mood after their recent Copa del Rey victory. Getafe to win is priced at 27/10 odds.
Given that we expect a close game and that these two teams are no strangers to being tied at half-times in their meetings, a half-time draw at even odds sounds like a reasonable bet.
> Over 2.5 total goals at 13/8 | Likelihood: Probable
> Half-time draw at 27/10 | Likelihood: Probable
> Getafe to win at 1/1 at 19/20 | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct score 1-2 at 12/1 | Likelihood: Outsider
