Getafe
The fans of the “Azulones” have been waiting for their first victory of the season for a month and a half, until the eighth day of the new championship. On several occasions, José Bordalás’ team came close to securing the three points, but due to the lack of definition, they only settled for draws. This refers to the home matches against “Real Sociedad” (0:0) and “Leganés” (1:1). Curiously, their first match at the “Coliseum” against “Rayo Vallecano” also ended in a goalless draw, a textbook example of 0:0 without any opportunity or indication of goals.
In general, the season began for “Getafe” with a surprising draw in Bilbao (1:1), but in the next three away games the “Azulones” suffered three consecutive narrow defeats. In the matches against “Sevilla” and “Barcelona”, both lost 0:1, things could have been different. Especially in Barcelona, where Borja Mayoral somehow failed to equalize in injury time. However, the long-awaited victory came on the previous day when they confidently beat “Alavés” with a score of 2:0. At the end of the first half, Mauro Arambarri scored the winning goal from a free kick, and shortly after the break, Luis Milla converted a penalty, securing the victory for “Getafe.” They even had great opportunities to extend their lead with Diego Rico and newcomer Álvaro Rodríguez, but on both occasions, impressive saves from Antonio Sivera prevented them.

Meanwhile, the people of Pamplona have pleasantly surprised their fans at the beginning of the season. Not always with quality performances, but through excellent results. After eight matches, Vicente Moreno’s team has already secured four victories and currently occupies 5th-7th place in the La Liga table, tied with “Atlético” and another surprise team, “Mallorca”, led by its former coach Jagoba Get rid of yourself. If the “Rojillos” had not gotten carried away in the first half of their opening home match against “Leganés”, they could be tied on points with “Atlético”, who currently occupy fourth place.
Osasuna has only won at home in “El Sadar”. Initially they managed to beat the aforementioned “Mallorca” (1:0), then they won 3:2 against “Celta” and 2:1 against “Las Palmas”, who are now at the bottom of the table with only three points and no victories . Last weekend, Vicente Moreno’s team achieved a real sensation by stopping the winning streak of the league leaders “Barcelona” under Hansi Flick with a 4:2 victory.
The match against the Catalans was magnificent for the “Rojillos”; However, Sergio Herrera generated some anxiety among fans at the beginning of the second half with a strange own goal while rushing the resumption of play. After cutting the deficit, the “Blaugranas” tightened the screw, but Herrera quickly redeemed himself for the mistake. Budimir won and converted a penalty, and Abel Bretonese later extended the home team’s lead to three goals. In the first half, Bryan Zaragoza reminded everyone why his move to Bayern Munich was possible – with breakneck speed, brilliant technique and great vision. In the 18th minute, the winger assisted Ante Budimir, who opened the scoring, and then scored himself, elegantly dribbling past Iñaki Peña and rolling the ball into the empty net.
Getafe vs. health: Author’s Prediction
José Bordalás, who has long lamented the lack of players, can finally have all the squad members registered for the season. However, no significant changes are expected in the starting eleven, although Borja Mayoral could be ready to start from the first minute. Even so, “Getafe” will continue to be considered the favorite in the next confrontation. “Osasuna” excels at home, but its away games have proven to be challenging – a disappointing 0:4 defeat against “Girona”, 1:3 against “Rayo Vallecano”, and a lucky draw against a currently struggling “Valencia” . Furthermore, the “Rojillos” have not won at the “Coliseum” since March 2008, losing eight of the eleven matches since then. The last four games have ended with victories for “Getafe”. Of course, you can’t be 100% sure of a victory for the home team, but I dare to take the risk.
