Osasuna host Getafe with early-season form evenly poised
Osasuna return to Estadio El Sadar on matchday three of La Liga to face Getafe, a fixture that has produced tight results in recent seasons and now arrives with both clubs showing similar form in the opening weeks of the campaign.
Form guide
Osasuna go into the game having won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches, a sequence that reads WDLLW. Getafe have matched that record almost exactly, taking two wins, a draw and two defeats across their own last five, in the order LWWLD. Neither side, then, arrives with any advantage in recent results, the two teams level on wins over that stretch.
A recent history of narrow margins
The two clubs have met five times since January 2024, and the head-to-head has swung back and forth without either establishing control. Getafe won the most recent meeting 1-0 in May, while Osasuna had taken the corresponding fixture 2-1 the previous October. Earlier meetings have included a Getafe win, a draw and an Osasuna victory, underlining just how tightly contested this fixture has become.
What to expect
With both sides showing equal form and a recent history of close scorelines between them, Sunday's meeting at El Sadar looks set to continue that pattern. Osasuna will hope home advantage can tip a fixture that has offered little separation between the two clubs in recent seasons.
