La Liga 2025-2026: Real Sociedad-Getafe, the probable formations

Wednesday’s 32nd day of La Liga features a challenge that promises sparks and balance between Real Sociedad and Getafe. At the Anoeta at 8 p.m., the hosts are looking to secure their seventh-place finish, tailed by Madrid’s very own Azzurri, who, with a win, would leapfrog the Basques in the standings. The San Sebastián outfit comes to this fixture on the strength of an enviable domestic performance, having suffered only one defeat in their last eleven home matches, turning the stadium into a veritable land of conquest where they have been scoring uninterruptedly for fourteen rounds. Winning the Spanish Cup against Atletico also gave them the right morale after an up-and-down league.

On the other hand, Getafe comes across as a solid team that is difficult to break down, capable of keeping their goal unbroken on 11 occasions during this season. Despite a steely defense, Bordalás’s men struggle to find the way of goal consistently, but remain a constant threat on the counter-attacks and on inactive balls. With the two teams separated by just one point (42 for Real Sociedad and 41 for Getafe), tonight’s direct clash takes on the appearance of a real playoff for Europe, in which the defensive solidity of the guests will challenge the offensive exuberance of the boys led by Matarazzo.

The probable lineups see the hosts relying on the usual 4-4-2 with leader Mikel Oyarzabal, author so far of 12 goals, supported by the talented Takefusa Kubo. Turrientes and Soler in the middle of the field, Caleta Car and Martin centrally.

Getafe will probably respond with a more cautious 5-4-1, relying on Arambarri’s physicality in midfield and Liso’s speed to sting on the counterattack. The irreplaceable midfielders Luis Milla and Arambarri, Iglesias and Femenia as fifths of the defense, Djene heading the backline.

Probable lineups

Real Sociedad (4-2-3-1): Remiro; Aramburu, Martin, Caleta-Car, Aihen; Turrientes, Soler; Marin, Brais Mendez, Kubo; Oyarzabal. All. Matarazzo.

Getafe (5-4-1): Soria; Kiko, Djene, Abqar, Rico, Iglesias; Liso, Milla, Arambarri, Satriano; Vazquez. All. Bordalas.
