Osasuna Preview: Trying to push
Osasuna didn’t play last weekend against Barcelona as a result of Barcelona’s First Team Doctor tragically passing away in the team hotel just hours before kick-off so the game, taking place at Estadi Olympic Lluis Companys in Barcelona, was postponed late in the day.
Vicente Moreno has overperformed expectations in the Osasuna dugout thus far as the Pamplona-based club sit just three points outside of the top seven and the European spots ahead of this weekend with a game-in-hand.
Getafe Preview: Typically difficult to beat
Jose Bordalas, a disciple of Diego Simeone and his ‘Cholismo’ style of football, earned his first victory as a manager over Diego Simeone last weekend as Getafe came from behind to defeat title challenging Atletico Madrid at the Coliseum.
Alexander Sorloth gave Atleti the lead from the penalty spot in the 75th minute but then the game turned on its head late on with Angel Correa’s red card being followed by a dramatic, late brace scored by Mauro Arambarri to give Getafe all three points.
Osasuna Team News: Aimar Oroz a doubt
Osasuna have an exciting side with a thrilling front four that consists of the likes of Croatia international Ante Budimir and Bayern Munich loanee Bryan Zaragoza with another member of the attack, Aimar Oroz, now an injury doubt due to a hamstring issue.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Sergio Herrera; Jesus Areso, Boyomo, Alejandro Catena, Abel Bretones; Jon Moncayola, Lucas Torro; Raul Garcia, Aimar Oroz, Bryan Zaragoza; Budimir

Questionable: Aimar Oroz (Injured)
Getafe Team News: Fully fit
With such a small squad at Getafe, which has seen Jose Bordalas regularly deploy players out of position such as defensive midfielder Christantus Uche as a striker, it is a major blessing for the visitors that they have a fully fit and available squad for this weekend.
Predicted XI (4-1-4-1): David Soria; Djene, Domingos Duarte, Omar Alderete, Diego Rico; Luis Milla; Ramon Terrats, Uche, Mauro Arambarri, Carlos da Costa; Alvaro

Osasuna vs Getafe Prediction
Osasuna’s 26 matches in La Liga so far this season have consisted of 69 goals with a generally entertaining style of football as they chase what did seem an unlikely top-half finish at the start of the season. They face a Getafe side that, with that 2-1 defeat of Atletico, have now suffered just two defeats in nine league games in 2025. Osasuna are thrilling to watch, whilst Getafe will want to continue their good form so backing both teams scoring may well be good value – and it should be good value given how risky that is when Getafe are involved.
