Getafe vs Osasuna (La Liga): odds and bets 23.05.2026

The Coliseum closes the season with a very attractive fixture: Getafe arrive in the European places, whilst Osasuna come into the game with survival still at stake. It’s matchday 38, with a unified kick-off time, and that carries a lot of weight, so it’s worth bearing in mind.

Getafe know how to handle tight, competitive matches, sticking to close scorelines and controlling the tempo. Osasuna arrive on the back of poor results but with some breathing room: a point will do them, and depending on other results, they could even survive with a defeat. Given that context, I expect a tense, disjointed match where neither side will give an inch.

Getafe

To me, this late-season Getafe side looks like the typical team that, when it sees a real prize (Europe) on the line, grits its teeth and turns the match into a battle for every yard. It’s not a team known for spectacular goal-scoring displays: its strength lies in competing for every ball, making life difficult for the opposition and dictating the game on its own terms.

At home, they have been far more reliable than away. At the Coliseum, they usually concede very little and, if they take the lead, they know how to see the game out with professionalism: a compact defence, tactical fouls when needed, and matches decided by the smallest of margins. Away from home, however, they find it harder to hold onto a lead and tend to concede more, which explains why it is in Getafe’s best interests to dictate the play from the first minute when playing at their own ground.

For this clash, there are absences that will have an impact, particularly in defence and in the rotation, so I expect a very familiar starting eleven: a solid structure, full-backs taking few risks and a direct plan to attack the box. Furthermore, they are coming off a recent setback, and that usually fires Getafe up: in situations like this, they typically ramp up the intensity of their pressing and aim to make the opposition feel uncomfortable from the start.

Osasuna

Osasuna arrive with the pressure on. Their away form has been a problem: away from El Sadar, their performance drops significantly, they struggle to create clear-cut chances and concede more than they’d like. In a high-stakes match like this, that fragility on the road weighs heavily.

Their recent form doesn’t help either: they’ve had a run of poor results, and that’s evident in their confidence and decision-making. Even so, I wouldn’t write them off. When Osasuna compete well, they are a serious side without the ball, disciplined, resilient and with a clear strategy: playing towards their target man in the box and relying on crosses, second balls and set-pieces. Their challenge is to stick to that plan for 90 minutes without conceding too much, because Getafe at home eventually push their opponents back through sheer persistence.

Tactically, they’ll most likely try to protect themselves with a double pivot and three attacking midfielders who work hard to drop back, looking for quick breaks and avoiding prolonged possession in dangerous areas. If the match becomes a back-and-forth affair, Osasuna tend to struggle; if they manage to ‘freeze’ the game, they can stay in it until the end.

Referee: Alejandro Quintero González

The appointed referee is Alejandro Quintero González. Based on his profile, he is a referee who tends to intervene when the match heats up and does not usually hesitate to penalise ill-timed challenges or protests. On a final matchday with high stakes, this invites a closer look at the card markets, as this type of match often brings tension, tactical fouls and arguments over every contested play.
