Getafe vs Osasuna: prediction, H2H and probable lineups — 23.05.2026
One of the matches of La Liga's 38th round will be played on Saturday at the Coliseum in Getafe, where the home side Getafe hosts Osasuna. I’m offering a bet on the outcome of this tense showdown, where a single episode could prove more decisive than the overall quality of play.
Match preview
Getafe approaches the final round in a state of nervous mobilization: José Bordalás’ team has won just once in their last five La Liga outings and recently fell 0-1 to Elche. The Madrid side is still clinging to their European ambitions, but their margin for error has vanished, and the once-imposing Coliseum no longer looks like the fortress where opponents inevitably lost their rhythm.
Injury and suspension issues only add to Bordalás' headache: Djené will miss the match after a red card, Satriano is out due to yellow card accumulation, and the involvement of Kiko Femenía and Juanmi remains questionable. However, the return of Borja Mayoral after a serious knee injury could provide a crucial emotional boost — even a short cameo from the striker might inject life into an attack that has too often lived off isolated moments.
Osasuna arrives in Getafe on the back of four consecutive defeats, including a painful 1-2 loss to Espanyol. The team from Pamplona once again finds itself under late-season pressure, and their away form remains their Achilles’ heel: far from home, they too often lose their structure after the first significant setback.
The key figure up front for Osasuna remains Ante Budimir, who the team targets with long balls as they try to advance attacks under pressure. Iker Muñoz will miss out due to suspension, and Raúl Moro is still not guaranteed to be fit after a hamstring issue, so Jagoba Arrasate will have to rely on compactness and patience.
Probable lineups
- Getafe: Soria, Duarte, Romero, Abqar, Davinci, Iglesias, Arambarri, Cáceres, Milla, Vázquez, Martín.
- Osasuna: Herrera, Enzo Boyomo, Catena, Rosier, Galán, Moncayola, Torró, García, Oros Uarte, Barja, Budimir.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Both teams have scored in each of the last six head-to-head meetings between Getafe and Osasuna.
- Five of the last six encounters between these sides have seen at least three goals scored.
- Osasuna enter the match on a run of four consecutive league defeats.
Prediction
This clash doesn’t look set to be a stage for sparkling football, but rather a classic season finale with tough challenges, pauses, and maximum stakes for every set piece. Getafe at home are capable of imposing Bordalás’ trademark uncomfortable scenario, gradually suffocating the opponent and forcing mistakes.
Osasuna are dangerous through Budimir and quick counterattacks, but their away inconsistency and current losing streak make the visitors look too vulnerable. I expect a scrappy game with few clear-cut chances, where the hosts will eventually find their opportunity.
