Getafe will kickstart their 2020-21 La Liga campaign as they host Osasuna at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Saturday night. The match was initially scheduled for Friday but it had to be moved after the RFEF imposed a ban on matches held on Mondays and Fridays.
Osasuna got the better of Cadiz in their season opener this past weekend, winning the game 2-0 thanks to goals from Adrian Lopez and Ruben Garcia. Getafe were initially scheduled to face Real Madrid last week but the game was postponed due to Real Madrid's involvement in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
The hosts had a disappointing end to their 2019-20 campaign, failing to register a win in six of their last matches in the league and crashing out of the UEFA Europa League in the round of 16. And it has been a transfer window that has caused quite a lot of changes in that Getafe dressing room.
The likes of Lazo, Gallego, Antunes and Molina have left the club but they have also made some quality additions. Marc Cucurella's loan move has been made permanent. Enes Unal, Cucho Hernandez and Ante Palaversa are all solid additions.
Meanwhile, Osasuna had quite an encouraging 2019-20 campaign, finishing 10th after being promoted to the Spanish top-flight after a two-year absence. Osasuna are on a good run and have won six of their last nine matches.
