by Osasuna and Getafe.After their eliminations in the Copa del Rey in the last week, they face the event focused on the League with the sole objective of winning to improve in the classification and not discard too soon the european dream, in a duel maximum rivalry among the Navarrese painting Jagoba Arrasate and the Madrid native José Bordalás.
Osasuna opens a new chapter in the League after saying goodbye to the Copa del Rey against Real Sociedad, leaving with only one stimulus. There are four months left and the Navarrese team must look for incentives to avoid falling into complacency.
“We can give many joys and I don’t know how far it can give us. We have the most important thing left, which is the League. It is true that we come from that disappointment on Wednesday and I can understand people, but inside we are clear that the entire second part remains and We must improve the first one, that is the objective“, indicated Jagoba Arrasate in the press conference prior to the appointment.
After the commotion caused in Pamplona by the referee’s performance in the KO tournament, those of Raze returns to the charge before a complicated rival with which people usually give free rein to strain.
The Osasuna-Getafe are synonymous with high voltage. Those from Tajonar have managed to turn the situation around to leave green shoots in recent weeks as far as the game is concerned, despite the eliminations in the Spanish Super Cup and in the Cup.
Improve the numbers of the first round, recover your address identity completely and return to gain assiduously in The Sadar They are the great ‘musts’ of a large staff trained for this.
Abandon the middle area of the table It is seen as necessary to avoid difficulties at the end of the campaign. Arrasate must manage all the existing competition in the remaining days to keep all your footballers plugged in.
Far from the bitter start to January, the League’s line is good. Of the last five days, Osasuna has only fallen into one. It was against Mallorca on December 21. The ties against the Real Sociedad and Cádiz and the victories against Rayo and Almería They have allowed them to stay in a comfortable zone.
Changes are planned in the lineup to refresh the legs of some players who are somewhat fatigued by the load of matches. David García, Areso, Aimar and Budimir seem irreplaceable players due to their influence on the team’s future in each of the lines they occupy.
In front is the Getafe, who comes into the match after the defeat and subsequent elimination in the cup against Sevilla at the Coliseum. In that meeting the team José Bordalás demonstrating the same defensive fragility who appeared in the first game of the year against Rayo, also saved with defeat.
That match also left a very negative balance for Getafe, who lost the Uruguayan right back for their visit to Pamplona. Damian Suarez and the forwards Juanmi Latasa and Jaime Mata due to suspension, as well as the Uruguayan midfielder Mauro Arambarri by sanction.
Such a loss will force Bordalas to recompose his eleven and even to modify his scheme, being able to move to a defense of fivewhat the entry of the Paraguayan would entail Omar Alderete and maybe the Serbian Stefan Mitrovic.
Scam Borja Mayoral as a reference in attack it could replace Jaime Mata one line behind Carlos Aleñáthat, if he started from the start, he would have a good opportunity to vindicate in a season in which little by little it has gone losing prominence.
Probable lineups:
Osasuna: Sergio Herrera; Areso, Catena, David García, Mojica; Iker Muñoz; Peña, Aimar, Moi Gómez; Ruben Garcia; Budimir.
