Osasuna and Getafe Face Off in Crucial LaLiga Match

Pamplona, Spain – LaLiga‘s Jornada 8 kicks off this Friday with a crucial match between Osasuna and Getafe at El Sadar. Both teams are struggling to find their footing this season, making this encounter vital for their ambitions.

Osasuna arrives after a 2-0 defeat against Real Betis, marking their third game without a win. Currently sitting in 13th place with seven points, they are only two points clear of the relegation zone, increasing the pressure to perform at home.

Getafe, on the other hand, has seen their early season success dwindle. After winning their first two matches, they have only managed five points from the subsequent five games. They are still near the European qualification spots with 11 points but are looking to reverse their current trend of two consecutive draws.

Betting odds favor Osasuna slightly, with a home victory at 2.29 (+129) compared to Getafe’s win odds of 3.76 (+276). A draw stands at 2.86 (+186). Historical data suggests that both teams are prone to scoring, with the last six encounters averaging at least three goals.

While Osasuna has struggled recently, they remain unbeaten at home this season, winning two out of three matches at El Sadar. Coach Alessio Lisci hopes to maintain this home advantage, particularly as Osasuna often scores the first goal, having done so in four of their last matches. This could be a crucial factor against a Getafe team that has failed to find the net in their last three Friday matches.

Despite their recent difficulties, historical encounters lean in favor of Getafe, who have triumphed in six of the last ten meetings. However, Osasuna’s home form and their tendency to score early may provide an opportunity to break this trend and earn crucial points.

The match is set to provide excitement and much-needed points for both teams, emphasizing the tight competition in LaLiga this season.
