On Sunday afternoon, Osasuna and Getafe clash at El Sadar in a midtable La Liga encounter.
Osasuna form guideThe team from Pamplona goes into this encounter in 12th place in the Spanish top flight, seven points clear of the relegation zone and ten points adrift of the European spots.
A 1-0 home win over Almeria continued a steady recent run of form in La Liga, as it means that Arrasate’s team have lost just one of their previous five outings in the Spanish top-flight.
The Almeria game was another low-scoring and tight affair for Osasuna in La Liga, as four of their last five league matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Osasuna has a solid recent record at El Sadar in La Liga, as the win in their last Liga outing means that the home team is unbeaten in four games on home soil.
Like their recent La Liga games in general, their home matches have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight games at El Sadar.
Getafe form guideThe club from the capital is currently in tenth place in the table, four points ahead of their hosts in the standings.
Jose Bordalas’ team has been inconsistent of late in the Spanish top flight, as they have won two, drawn one and lost two of their previous five outings in La Liga.
A 2-0 home defeat by Rayo Vallecano in their last Liga match followed a familiar low-scoring trend, as seven of their last ten games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Getafe have not been great travellers of late in La Liga, winning just once in their previous 11 away games. On their travels, the visitors have also conceded at least two goals in seven of their last ten Liga games.
What am I backing?I don’t believe that this game will be a thrill-fest, more a cagey and niggly affair, with few goals, so I am backing under 2.5 goals scored.
