Match Preview
Getafe return to the Coliseum looking to make this match uncomfortable in the best possible way: compact defending, high physical intensity, and constant pressure on second balls. If Getafe win enough “small battles,” they can drag even the most technical teams into a game of inches.
Real Sociedad usually try to calm those storms. Their approach is built on moving the ball quickly through midfield, finding the free man, and creating chances through timing rather than chaos. The big challenge here is staying composed if the game becomes foul-heavy and broken into short sequences.
What could decide it?
- Set pieces: corners and wide free-kicks can be the cleanest chance source.
- Second balls: whoever wins the loose moments often controls territory.
- First goal: scoring first changes the risk level for both teams instantly.
- Discipline: box-edge fouls can be punished in tight games.

Matchup Notes
This is a classic “tempo vs tension” matchup. Sociedad want calm sequences and controlled attacks. Getafe want to break rhythm, win territory in short bursts, and turn every restart into a moment of danger.
Three angles to watch
- Press triggers: Sociedad must keep build-up clean under pressure.
- Box defending: first contact on crosses and corners is massive.
- Late-game risk: if level late, both benches can change the game.
Prediction
The match script points toward tight margins: Getafe’s physical approach and Sociedad’s controlled style often cancel each other out for long spells. That usually means fewer clear chances and a game where one decisive moment carries extra weight.
Under 2.5 Goals (fits the likely script: discipline, duels, and limited clean chances).
