The Pamplona side enters this 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 the last 13 league matches, they have drawn nine times. Despite being in 13th place, they are only eight points away from the European competition zone with a game in hand.

Osasuna vs. Getafe: Match Prediction
Vicente Moreno's side was recently among the contenders for a European competition spot. However, in their last 14 La Liga matches, they have managed just one win, though they have only lost four times, which has seen them drop to the lower half of the table and closer to teams fighting for survival in La Liga. An excess of draws is Osasuna's main issue, so I believe it's time for the hosts to end their unfortunate run in the league.
Getafe, despite having one of the best defenses in La Liga, also struggles to score. Only Valladolid has a worse attack. Therefore, Osasuna has a chance to win the upcoming match, or it might end in another draw. Moreover, in their 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)
