Osasuna
The Pamplona side approaches the upcoming match with a four-game winless streak in the league (3 draws and 1 loss). During this stretch, they lost to Celta (0-1) and drew with Mallorca, Real Madrid, and Valencia. Interestingly, in their last 13 La Liga matches, the Galicians have drawn nine times. Despite being in 13th place, the club is only eight points away from the European competition zone and has a game in hand.
- Both teams scored in 6 of Osasuna's last 7 La Liga games.

The team sensationally defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 at home in the last round. Both goals were scored by the Madrid suburb club in the final minutes of the match. Prior to this, Pepe Bordalas' side lost to Betis (1-2) and Leganes (0-1). Getafe has risen to 12th place and is now seven points clear of the relegation zone.

Osasuna vs. Getafe: Match Prediction
Vicente Moreno's side was recently among the contenders for a European spot at the end of the season. However, in their last 14 La Liga matches, they have managed only one win, though they have only lost four times, which has seen them drop to the lower half of the table, getting closer to teams fighting for survival in La Liga. The abundance of draws is the main problem for the Pamplona side, so I suggest it's time for the hosts to break their unfortunate streak in the league.
Getafe, despite having one of the best defensive lines in La Liga, scores very little. Only Valladolid has a worse attack. Therefore, Osasuna has a chance to win the upcoming match, or it could end in another draw. Moreover, in the last nine head-to-head meetings in Pamplona in La Liga, the hosts have not lost to this opponent eight times (3 wins and 5 draws).
My prediction – Osasuna with a handicap (0)
