Osasuna Preview: Aiming for Europe
Osasuna’s push for European football continues as they sit just three points away from the top seven with a game in hand. Vicente Moreno has exceeded expectations, guiding his side through a competitive La Liga campaign.
Their previous fixture against Barcelona was postponed due to a tragic incident involving Barcelona’s medical staff, meaning they come into this match slightly rested but also needing to regain match sharpness.
A win against Getafe would provide a crucial boost in their fight for European qualification, and with home advantage on their side, Osasuna will be eager to dominate from the start.
Getafe Preview: Difficult to Break Down
Getafe, under the guidance of José Bordalás, have become one of the most challenging teams to break down in La Liga. Their defensive resilience, combined with a well-structured counterattacking style, makes them formidable opponents.
Last weekend, they shocked Atletico Madrid with a dramatic 2-1 comeback win, courtesy of Mauro Arambarri’s late brace. That victory reinforced their reputation as a tough, well-drilled unit capable of upsetting bigger teams.
