Real Sociedad vs. Getafe: Match Prediction
In this match, we have two teams whose games this season have been the lowest-scoring. Both teams have the fewest goals in La Liga, while defensively, they are second only to Atletico. It seems unlikely that either side will change their tactical approach in this head-to-head.
Real Sociedad has not conceded at home in their last four La Liga matches. However, the San Sebastian side has only managed to score more than once in one of their last six home league games. Las Palmas has failed to score in 5 of their last 8 away league matches. Additionally, the Canary Islanders have not conceded more than once in 12 of their last 14 away La Liga matches.
Therefore, my prediction is Total under 2 goals.
