This weekend’s La Liga fixtures promise excitement, with a standout match between Getafe and Real Sociedad at the Coliseum Stadium on Sunday.
The encounter will feature a supremacy battle between Nigerian duo Chrisantus Uche and Umar Sadiq.
Uche’s Getafe team will aim to break their recent slump against Real Sociedad, having won only once in their last eight encounters.
Getafe has also gone six home games without a win, a record they hope to change on Sunday.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, boasts an impressive away form, having won their last two away games without conceding a goal.
However, they have had limited success in the Madrid region, winning only once in their last 14 visits.
Individually, Uche and Sadiq have experienced contrasting fortunes. Uche has played in both of Getafe’s La Liga games this season, scoring one goal and accumulating two yellow cards.
