Full Analysis
Anoeta plays host to Real Sociedad versus Getafe in La Liga, Regular Season - 16. Kick-off: Sunday 13 December 2026 at 16:00 UTC.
Current Form
Real Sociedad's overall La Liga record this term: 5W 2D 3L from 10 games (1.70 PPG). Last five: W L W W W. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 1.80 conceded. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Real Sociedad, so this record blends games from this season and last.
In front of their own supporters this season, Real Sociedad have posted 4W 3D 3L at Anoeta — 1.50 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Getafe (all games): 3W 3D 4L across 10 La Liga outings this term — 1.20 points per game. Last five: D L W L D. Their scoring rate of 0.60 per game is modest, conceding 1.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets. This season is still relatively young for Getafe, so this record blends games from this season and last.
On the road, Getafe have gone 2W 1D 7L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.70 PPG). Away from home they average 0.30 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 10% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel. Their away PPG of 0.70 is notably below their overall 1.20 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
The points-per-game gap of 0.50 in Real Sociedad's favour (1.70 vs 1.20) is a statistically meaningful difference. The hosts are the form pick here, with draw protection the sensible hedge given the away side's competitiveness.
H2H History
The head-to-head record is closely matched — Real Sociedad lead 3W to 3W over the last 10 encounters, with 4 draws, though neither side has established a commanding advantage.
The 10 previous meetings have averaged 2.3 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 22 Apr 2026, ended 0–1 with Getafe winning.
The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.
Trading
Real Sociedad half-time and goal-timing data (47 games, 23 at home): they score before half-time in 74% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 74% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 74% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 45%.
Getafe half-time and goal-timing data (47 games, 23 at away): they score before half-time in 70% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; BTTS occurs in 22% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 35% of games (away games); they fail to score in 45% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Real Sociedad 77% versus Getafe 30%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Real Sociedad 62% | Getafe 26%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Real Sociedad 1.57 xG and Getafe 0.87 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Real Sociedad attack 1.007 / defence 1.166 | Getafe attack 0.585 / defence 0.954. League average goals — home 1.635 / away 1.277. Data: 47 Real Sociedad games / 47 Getafe games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Real Sociedad 52% | Draw 29% | Getafe 19%. Fair-value odds: Real Sociedad 1.92 | Draw 3.45 | Getafe 5.26. Real Sociedad hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS probability 48% | Total xG 2.44. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.44 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 48% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Real Sociedad at 52% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Real Sociedad if the outright odds are short.
The Poisson model projects 2.44 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 44% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
Poisson assigns a 48% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Real Sociedad 60% | Getafe 10% BTTS from recent games.
