"Getafe initially cemented their spot as one of Spain's ultimate surprise packages. However, despite getting Friday's showdown in Madrid still hanging onto their spot in the top-half of the La Liga standings, Jose Bordalas' men are seeking a much-welcomed boost this weekend. Last seen getting the New Year underway with a 1-1 stalemate against local rivals Rayo Vallecano, the Blues have failed to win any of their previous five appearances across all competitions."
"Both picking up costly bookings against Rayo Vallecano last week, the duo of Dominigos Duarte and veteran defender Djene will miss out through suspension here. Likewise, dealing with a recent muscle issue, Hull City loanee Abu Kamara remains a major doubt on Friday night. However, making a cameo appearance off the bench last week, 23-year-old Coba da Costa should get some more minutes under his belt."
Getafe opened the 2025/26 campaign strongly and established themselves as an early surprise package but have gone without a win in five matches across all competitions. The team drew 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano to start the year and exited the Copa del Rey with a 3-1 loss to Burgos. Dominigos Duarte and Djene are suspended, while loanee Abu Kamara is a muscle doubt. Coba da Costa and Juanmi could feature. Real Sociedad aimed for a European push but now sit just two points above the relegation zone and face increasing scrutiny amid inconsistent results. The market favors over 1.5 goals.
