Osasuna look to get off the mark at home
A tight, cagey clash is expected when Osasuna and Getafe face off at Estadio El Sadar, Spain. Getafe enter this match having won two in a row, with a 3-1 win over Partizan Belgrade in UEFA Conference League qualifying last Thursday and a 1-0 home win against Racing Santander in LaLiga 2026/2027. Getafe come into the match in good form with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five matches in all competitions. The hosts currently sit 12th with one point from one game, while Getafe are above them in 8th place with three points from two games. This match will always be a tactical battle between the mid-block and the high-intensity press. Luis Miguel Ramis is a coach who has been described as organised and compact in his approach to the game. His Burgos side has been repeatedly described as a 'two-bank' system, which usually means a 4-4-2 or a flat four at the back with two players holding the line in front of the defensive line and two just behind the front two. The shape is compact and looks to stay organized, win second balls and make runs in transition or from set-pieces.
Bordalás’ team will try to suffocate the game
Getafe and their style is the antithesis of that. Jose Bordalas' team will set up with a 4-4-2 (or narrow variant), be physically aggressive and press high up the field. They will look to force errors and turnovers in order to then play at a very high tempo in the transitions, win second-ball duels and look to exploit space down the channels or in the air.
The contrast in styles should make this a physical battle where transitions and set-pieces will be crucial. The side that controls the tempo and the tempo swings (i.e. the side that triggers presses successfully and wins second balls) should come out on top.
Osasuna are the marginal favourites at 2.12, followed by the Draw at 3.1 and Getafe at 3.6. It is difficult to see either side dominating and Osasuna are likely to get caught out at some point in the match.
A fixture of significance
This fixture isn't a big derbi, but it is a fixture that has carried significance in recent seasons. It hasn't always been an intense fixture, but it has often counted for the teams in the final stretch of the season, whether it was a European push for the top six or a relegation battle.
Getafe won this fixture 1-0 at home in the last meeting in LaLiga 2025/2026, so the Azulones will know how to nick this contest, but Osasuna have won one of the last two matches and will be looking to keep the momentum going.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.53 looks like the correct score bet as this will likely be a cagey affair, while both teams not to score at 1.7 also appeals as this looks set to be a grind.
Enes Unal has been Getafe's sharpest edge in 2026/2027, with one goal in two games.
