Real Sociedad vs Getafe prediction
Getafe have been extremely difficult to beat throughout the campaign. Jose Bordalas’ side will be expected to again be difficult to play against in the Basque Country. Real Sociedad will also be expected to rotate and potentially fatigued after their long and dramatic encounter in Seville the other day. As a result, siding with Getafe would be the way to go for this one.
