Real Sociedad form and stats

6 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Real Sociedad have to build on here at Reale Arena in the La Liga.

The followers are hoping that Real Sociedad will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the game against Villarreal (placed 6th). The first defeat after going unbeaten in three league fixtures. The versatile forward Kubo edged out all teammates in that fixture and got a match rating of 6.94 out of 10. Kubo hit the woodwork once, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Ahead of that match, Sociedad won a home game hosting Elche (2-0).

Trouble hitting the net? In this team's last 10 league matches, 9 have seen less than three goals (under 2.5).

The Real Sociedad fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 13 matches. Real Sociedad are not conceding a lot of goals here at Reale Arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 12 from 13 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Getafe goalkeeper David Soria Solis is eager to challenge this, with his 188 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Athletic Club (placed 7th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 0-0. Haddadi got a match rating of 8.05 in that game, top player of the team. Haddadi hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
