Expert Betting Tips

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.
