Osasuna vs Getafe: David Soria on the verge of LaLiga history with 193 consecutive starts

David Soria can write his name into LaLiga history tonight. If José Bordalás keeps him between the posts at El Sadar, the Getafe goalkeeper will make his 193rd consecutive league start and overtake Juan Antonio Larrañaga as the player with the longest run of consecutive starts in the competition. The stage matters: Getafe visit an Osasuna side boosted by their first win of the season, in a match that closes matchday three and tests the momentum of two teams arriving in their best form.

• David Soria has started 192 consecutive league matches since 13 August 2021 at Mestalla against Valencia.
• He will surpass Juan Antonio Larrañaga and become the player with the most consecutive starts in LaLiga history.
• Getafe arrive after eliminating Partizán to reach the Conference League league phase and beating Racing in LaLiga.
• Osasuna came from behind at Balaídos against Celta to claim their first win of the season, but have not yet won at home.
• Kiko Femenía returns from suspension for Getafe; Abqar and Mario Martín are doubts due to physical problems.

David Soria: from questioned keeper to all-time LaLiga record holder

The number defines a career built on remarkable consistency. Since that league opener at Mestalla more than five years ago, Soria has not missed a single league match for Getafe. No long-term injuries, no technical decisions, no rotation: every matchday, the goalkeeper appears in the starting eleven. What is made official tonight is not just a figure, but the proof of unshakable trust from every coach who has sat on the Getafe bench.

Larrañaga had held the record since the 1980s. Now the baton passes to a goalkeeper who has kept Getafe competitive at the highest level. The tribute will not be ceremonial: the team want the record to come with points.

What Osasuna stand to gain against Getafe at El Sadar

Los Rojillos are chasing their first home win of the season. They drew against Levante in their home opener, and the comeback at Balaídos gave them a confidence boost they now want to translate to their own fans. A victory would mean back-to-back league wins and would confirm that Ramis' project is starting to gather pace.

Luis Ramis will not have to deal with absentees, because the whole squad is available. That said, the coach already admitted before the match that he will rotate the lineup to manage the workload. The demanding early-season calendar invites rotation and the return to starting roles for players who missed out in Vigo.

Ramis set to rotate at Osasuna: the names expected to return

The Osasuna boss made no secret of his intentions: there will be changes based on the match plan and minutes management. Among the regular starters who could return to the lineup are Budimir, Aimar Oroz, Rubén García and Iker Muñoz. Four key pieces for a match that demands intensity from the opening whistle.

Budimir, in addition, arrives full of confidence after opening his scoring account from the penalty spot at Balaídos. The Croatian is the offensive reference for an Osasuna side determined to give El Sadar its first league win of the campaign.

Getafe arrive with Europe secured and survival in sight

Bordalás' team are living two parallel realities. On one side, qualification for the Conference League league phase after eliminating Partizán, a success that reignited the fans' enthusiasm. On the other, the realistic goal of the season: securing top-flight survival as soon as possible. Three points tonight would bring the team closer to that target.

Getafe's week could hardly be more complete. The European progression is now followed by the league victory over Racing de Santander. With that double boost, Getafe visit El Sadar ready to extend their strong run.

Getafe team news: Kiko Femenía back, Abqar and Mario Martín waiting

Bordalás welcomes back Kiko Femenía, who has served his suspension and can be an immediate option on the right flank. The presence of Abqar and Mario Martín is less clear, with both dealing with physical issues. Their inclusion in the squad list will be decided in the hours before the match.

Getafe's squad depth has already been tested in these opening weeks and, so far, it is responding. The El Sadar clash will also measure that ability to compete every three days without a drop in performance.

Budimir vs Enes Ünal: in-form strikers collide

The match features two in-form forwards. Budimir already scored at Balaídos, while Enes Ünal is enjoying a rich vein of form: he has scored in his last three appearances. He found the net in both legs against Partizán and also scored against Racing de Santander.

The Turkish striker is Getafe's main goal threat, a team that does not need to dominate possession to do damage. Osasuna's defense will have to stay alert to his movement and his penalty-box instincts.

Osasuna vs Getafe prediction: a tight match with a historic backdrop

Osasuna are a difficult rival at home and will want to give their supporters the first El Sadar victory of the campaign. But Getafe arrive with an emotional bonus that is hard to measure: their goalkeeper's historic night and the European momentum. Expect a match with few concessions, between two sides that defend well and look to strike on the counter.

The Soria factor, the energy of the Pamplona crowd and the finishing of Ünal and Budimir draw the spotlight. Recent precedent and the balance in both boxes point to an even contest, where a single detail could decide the three points.
