Real Sociedad vs Getafe Prediction: Betting on the home team

Opening Sunday's pool of matches of the sixth round of the Spanish La Liga will be a duel between Real Sociedad and Getafe. Bookmakers are on the side of the Basques in the pair, despite the fact that the future hosts had a difficult match against Inter Milan in the first round of the Champions League group stage in midweek.

The Basques managed not to lose on their home field to the finalist of the Champions League. The match against Inter ended 1:1. The Basques had a good opportunity even to beat a status rival. In La Liga, the Basques are not doing well. After five rounds, the Royal Blues are only 11th, with an asset of six points. In five games, there are three draws, a victory over Granada 5:3, and a defeat in the last round from Real Madrid 1:2 in the capital. The gap from Rayo Vallecano in the European Cup competition is three points.

Unlike the Basques, Getafe is fully focused on La Liga, and so far, the results in the championship of the future guests are slightly better than the future hosts. In five matches, the Citizens have two wins over Alaves and Osasuna a draw with Barcelona. Note that all the points Citizens scored in home games, on the road, Getafe has two matches and two defeats from Girona 0:3 and Real 1:2. Before the start of Saturday's pool, Getafe are in ninth place with seven points.

The 11th place after five rounds is a weak result for Real Sociedad, representing Spain in the Champions League this season. Naturally, the Basques face only one task for the upcoming match - to win. Getafe started the season relatively well. However, the Citizens show themselves a very home team away. They have 100% defeats, which does not favor betting on Getafe. We believe that Real Sociedad has a good opportunity on Sunday to achieve a victory, which will improve the tournament position of the Basques. As for the total, we do not expect a high performance in midweek. RS played a difficult match in the Champions League, which is a disadvantage in terms of performance, and in this pairing, we are relying on the home team.
