Who Will Win The 2020/2021 Europa League?

3y ago

Watching the fall of this team has been pretty depressing. Prior to the campaign, they were never even considered worthy contenders for a Europa League place finish. However, the Royal began the season in stellar fashion, leaving the media at a loss for words.

They continued their brilliant run of form until La Liga action was brought to a halt in early March. At the time, they were sitting pretty in fourth and even in the running for the league title. However, following the league restart, Sociedad seem to have lost momentum.

A dazzling side that left the whole world astounded have now plummeted to seventh and are some way off the Champions League places. Coming up against fellow top-four hopeful Gefafe this Monday, Alguacil’s men will have their sights set on all three points as they attempt bringing their faltering campaign on the right track.

Getafe vs Real Sociedad Team News

A mere five points adrift of fourth-placed Sevilla, Getafe are definitely still in the running for a top-four finish. They have been impressive this season and a ticket to next season’s edition of the Champions League is nothing less than they deserve.

In a bid to close-in on Los Palanganas, Getafe welcomed relegation-threatened Eibar to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, looking to get all three points on board. They must have been delighted at the prospect of coming up against a weak side in Eibar with victory on their minds.

Getafe began the game very much on the front foot, with Etebo grabbing a goal in the 30^th minute to send his side ahead. However, they were begged back by a resilient Eibar side with the visitors grabbing an equalizer on the stroke of half-time to snatch a much-needed point from the claws of the opposition.

Looking to finally bring their faltering campaign back on track, Real Sociedad set out to take on Celta Vigo with the intent of securing maximum points. Despite dominating proceedings throughout the game, they were condemned to yet another defeat.

Firing six shots-on-target, Vigo’s goalie Blanco turned hero for his side as he made a couple of world-class saves to keep his side in the game. Against the run of play, the Celtics’ Iago Aspas poked the ball home to snatch all three points as the Royal headed home empty-handed.

For this fixture, Getafe are favorites for the win. They have maintained an unbeaten run in four of their previous five league games. Worryingly for Bordalas’ charges, four of these games had ended in draws as they failed to secure a win.

However, they will take pride in their form at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez having lost just thrice in 16 home fixtures this season. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad are on a three-game losing streak and have lost four of their preceding five away games in the league.

Injured or Suspended Players

Getafe vs Real Sociedad Predictions

With their spot in the European places on the line, Getafe cannot afford any slip-ups in this game. Also, they have been on a stupendous run of form on home turf and will be looking to extend that run further here. Worryingly, they have been affiliated with draws in recent games.

The Royal have lost their footing and are very unlikely to salvage anything from this game. But you can bet Imanol Alguacil will be working his ass off to get his side ticking again. You get the feeling that Sociedad’s impending resurgence is on the horizon, perhaps starting from this game.

As such, we cannot tip Getafe for an outright win. The safest punt would be backing both sides to register two or more goals before the sound of the final whistle.
