Sun Jan 26 14:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Real Sociedad Aims for European Spot with Crucial Getafe Clash

**San Sebastián, Spain** – Real Sociedad has a golden opportunity to boost their La Liga standings and secure a place in European competition this weekend. Following a series of favorable results in Matchday 21, a victory against Getafe on Sunday at 4:15 PM (local time) could propel them up the table.

Currently seventh with 28 points, Real Sociedad trails sixth-placed Mallorca by only two points. Mallorca’s loss to Real Betis (0-1) has opened the door for Real Sociedad to leapfrog them, provided they defeat Getafe. This match is particularly crucial after their recent 1-0 defeat to Valencia.

A win would see Real Sociedad finish Matchday 21 in sixth place, currently qualifying for the UEFA Conference League. However, this could upgrade to a UEFA Europa League spot if Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, or Real Madrid win the Copa del Rey.

While focused on Getafe, Real Sociedad will also be monitoring Girona’s match against Rayo Vallecano, another competitor in the race for European qualification. Despite commitments in the Copa del Rey and UEFA Europa League, La Liga remains the priority for Real Sociedad, with a top-six finish their primary objective to ensure European football next season.
