Getafe vs. Osasuna: A Battle for La Liga Points
The La Liga season is heating up, and this weekend sees a crucial match between Getafe and Osasuna. Getafe is looking to bounce back from a disappointing start to the season, while Osasuna is hoping to continue their impressive run of form.
Getafe has struggled for consistency this season, but they are finally starting to find their feet. After eight matches, they have only one win to their name, and they are currently in the relegation zone. However, they showed signs of improvement in their last match, a 2-0 win over Alavés.
Osasuna, on the other hand, is looking to challenge for a European place this season. They have been one of the most exciting teams in the league, and they currently sit in seventh place with four wins and four draws. Their most recent victory was a stunning 4-2 win over Barcelona, which ended the Catalan giants' unbeaten run.
Key Players to Watch
Getafe:
- Borja Mayoral: Mayoral is a key attacking player for Getafe, and he will be hoping to add to his tally of goals this weekend.
Osasuna:
- Ante Budimir: Budimir is a prolific goalscorer, and he will be a major threat to the Getafe defense.
Getafe's Home Struggles
Getafe's home form has been particularly poor this season. They have drawn three of their four home games, and they have yet to win at the Coliseum. This will be a major concern for José Bordalás, as they will need to find a way to win at home if they want to climb the table.
Osasuna's Away Form
While Osasuna has been impressive at home, their away form has been a little more inconsistent. They have won one, drawn one, and lost three of their away matches this season. However, they have shown that they can compete with the best teams in the league, and they will be confident of getting a result at Getafe.
Head-to-Head Record
The head-to-head record between Getafe and Osasuna is evenly balanced. Getafe has won 11 matches, Osasuna has won 10 matches, and the teams have drawn 9 times. However, Osasuna has not won at the Coliseum since March 2008, losing eight of their last 11 encounters.
The Verdict
This is a tough match to call, but I am leaning towards a draw. Getafe will be desperate to win, but Osasuna's impressive form and recent results suggest that they are capable of getting a positive result. It should be a close and exciting match, and I would not be surprised if either team came away with all three points.
A Match to Remember?
This match could be a turning point for either team. Getafe needs to win to show that they are still a force to be reckoned with in La Liga, while Osasuna needs to maintain their form if they want to challenge for a European spot. It will be interesting to see how the two teams approach the game, and who will ultimately come out on top.
