National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Espanyol or Osasuna that keep their silverware dream alive.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Espanyol form and stats
Espanyol was eliminated in the 16th finals last season in the Copa Del Rey.Espanyol have been outstanding at home so far in the La Liga 2 with 9 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss. After failing to beat Girona here at RCDE Stadium, Espanyol has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
Espanyol's previous game was a La Liga 2 match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Castellon. The home side are looking to build on that result. A strong away win before that one, visiting Burgos and winning 2-0.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Espanyol have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won zero, drawn four and lost four.
Espanyol have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at RCDE Stadium with 19 goals in 11 league matches. Espanyol have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 4 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Osasuna form and stats
They also participated in Copa Del Rey last season. This ended in the 8th finals.There's been little loot from Osasuna's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the La Liga. Osasuna only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Osasuna, who have now gone twelve games without a victory. The Athletic Club game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
The attacking players of Osasuna have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 250 minutes.
Two away games in a row for Osasuna, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Granada in the La Liga. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Real Madrid in the La Liga.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Osasuna playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were five Osasuna wins, four draws and four defeats.
Osasuna has another fixture away, a La Liga game, against Valencia in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The attacking power of Osasuna when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 9 league matches away. Osasuna have conceded 14 goals in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Espanyol victories, one draw and six Osasuna wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
