The Matchday 28 clash in La Liga between Osasuna and Getafe will take place on March 16 at the El Sadar Stadium in Pamplona. Osasuna vs. Getafe: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Osasuna
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.
- Both teams have scored in 6 of Osasuna's last 7 La Liga matches.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 6 of Osasuna's last 8 league matches.
Predicted lineup for Osasuna (5-4-1)

Getafe
In the last round, the team sensationally defeated Atletico Madrid at home (2-1), with both goals coming in the final minutes of the match.

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)
