Kick-off is at 18h00
The battle for European qualification is heating up as Real Sociedad prepare for the visit of Getafe to the Reale Arena on Wednesday, April 22.
The two teams are separated by just one place and one point in the league standings, with the Europa League and UEFA Conference League berths still very much up for grabs.
Pellegrino Matarazzo's side saw Real Betis (5th) and Celta Vigo (6th) drop points on matchday 31, but they failed to take advantage after being held to a 3-3 draw by lowly Alaves on April 11.
Sociedad closed within two points of the Sky Blues in seventh position and the gap to Betis remains at four.

The Madrid outfit had boosted their European hopes with back-to-back wins against Espanyol (2-1) and Athletic Bilbao (2-0), only to see their progress halted in a 1-0 defeat to relegation-threatened Levante on April 13.
Jose Bordalas' side have a two-point cushion to Osasuna in eighth spot and trail Celta by three with nine games left to play.

Matarazzo insists Sociedad didn't deserve to come away with maximum points against the Babazorros after admitting they made too many mistakes and gifted the opposition soft goals.
"Of course, we're not happy. We're not happy with the match, first and foremost with out own performance. We didn't deserve to win today with our performance," he said.
"The two goals they scored - it's hard to understand how two very similar goals happen like that. And the third one, when you're a man down and you try to combine out of the back against high pressure where the last minute of the game you just need to clear the ball and stay compact in a deep block.
"We just do not make good decisions and generally just a lot of losses of possession. Not good defending, not many chances on both sides and generally not a good game."
