Osasuna vs Getafe Prediction & Betting Tips (3 October)

Osasuna welcome Getafe to El Sadar this Sunday night in a clash that promises more grit than glamour, but with plenty riding on it for both mid-table sides. Level on 33 points after 27 rounds, the two teams are locked in a congested LaLiga pack where a single win can catapult a club toward European contention. Osasuna, under Jagoba Arrasate, have been draw specialists this season—twelve stalemates already—but their home form remains a pillar of strength, with 24 points collected from 14 outings in Pamplona. Their recent 3-3 thriller against Valencia showcased both attacking flair and defensive frailty, a duality that could shape Sunday’s outcome.

Getafe, meanwhile, arrive buoyed by a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid, a result that has injected fresh belief into Jose Bordalas’ squad. The Deep Blue Ones have quietly pieced together a solid post-winter run, losing just twice in their last ten league fixtures. Enes Unal continues to be their attacking talisman, while Borja Mayoral offers a complementary threat up front. However, Getafe’s away record remains patchy, and their defensive line—still adjusting after summer departures—has leaked goals at inopportune moments. Bordalas will likely opt for a compact 3-5-2 setup, hoping to frustrate Osasuna and strike on the counter.

In terms of personnel, Osasuna are sweating on the fitness of Aimar Oroz, who’s nursing a muscular issue, while Jesus Areso is expected to be available. Aitor Fernandez, however, remains sidelined with a foot injury. The emergence of Ez Abde as a dynamic bench option and the steady form of Chimy Avila and Moi Gomez give Arrasate tactical flexibility. For Getafe, the midfield trio of Maksimovic, Arambarri, and Alena will be tasked with controlling tempo and shielding a backline that’s still finding its rhythm. Expect a physical battle in the middle third, with both sides wary of overcommitting.

Given the form lines and tactical setups, a 2-1 win for Osasuna feels like a plausible outcome. Their home resilience, coupled with Getafe’s inconsistency on the road, tips the balance slightly in favor of Los Rojillos. While Getafe have the firepower to find the net, Osasuna’s ability to grind out results at El Sadar—often by the narrowest of margins—could prove decisive. Look for Avila and Budimir to be the difference-makers, with Unal likely to keep Getafe in the hunt until the final whistle.
