Getafe take on the visitors Osasuna in the round 37 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, May 28th at Coliseum Alfonso Perez (Getafe).
Getafe are fighting to maintain their place in the elite Spanish division and will undoubtedly be focused on winning this match. However, there is no certainty that even the home advantage and heightened motivation will help José Bordalás' team defeat a very strong Osasuna side. Osasuna, who are striving for a European spot this season and has reached the final of the domestic cup, has been performing exceptionally well. Getafe has only secured two victories in their last ten league matches. Home matches have always been considered a strong point for the "Azulones." However, in their last four home games in La Liga, they have only managed to win once, drawing with the bottom team Elche (1-1) and even losing to the league's worst away team, Almeria (1-2).

Osasuna are having a fantastic season considering their level. They reached the final of the domestic cup, narrowly missing out on the trophy, only losing to the "royal club" from Madrid. In the league, they are fighting until the last minute to secure a place in the European competitions. In the previous round, Jacobo Arrese's team defeated direct rival Athletic Bilbao (2-0) and climbed to the seventh position. They also comfortably defeated Almeria (3-1), a team that Getafe recently lost to on their home turf. Yes, their recent away matches have ended in defeats, but those were against Barcelona at Camp Nou and Atletico Madrid. Getafe is nowhere near the level of these teams. Therefore, I believe Osasuna has a realistic chance of at least securing a draw in the upcoming league match.
This victory is crucial for Getafe, as they are ahead of Cadiz and Valladolid in the table only on tiebreaker criteria when points are equal. Due to Getafe's heightened motivation, bookmakers consider them the favorites in this match. However, I respectfully disagree. Motivation is important, but it doesn't always determine the outcome. Osasuna has had a much better season than their opponents. The guests also have the incentive to perform well in the final stretch of the championship as they are competing for a spot in the European competitions, which they could reach for the first time since the 2006/2007 season. Osasuna's determined players will not give the hosts an easy victory. I fully expect that the guests will secure at least a draw in this encounter. Therefore, I will place a bet on X2 due to the coefficient being, in my opinion, overly generous.
Prediction for the match: Osasuna not to lose (X2).
