Osasuna - Getafe

Can Osasuna build on their positive momentum when they host Getafe at Estadio El Sadar on 31 August 2026? The hosts enter this matchday 3 fixture following a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Celta Vigo. With Valentin Rosier sidelined, the expected XI relies on the creative pairing of Aimar Oroz and Ruben Garcia to feed forward Ante Budimir. Getafe arrive looking to reset after a difficult week that saw them fall to a 2-1 defeat against Partizan Beograd in the Conference League qualification rounds, despite eventually progressing on aggregate.

Managerial tactical setups will be tested as Getafe looks to bounce back from their recent league loss to Deportivo Alaves. The visitors are likely to field a defensive unit anchored by Djene and Kiko, hoping to disrupt Osasuna's rhythm early. Given the narrow margins in their previous meetings, including a 1-0 win for Getafe in May 2026, this encounter promises to be a tight tactical battle.
