Osasuna form and stats

There's been little loot from Osasuna's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the La Liga. Osasuna only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. It's looking increasingly bleak for Osasuna who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Huesca was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Osasuna's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Osasuna failed to get anything from their last game, a La Liga home match vs Villarreal (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 1-3. Before that one, a nice away victory 6-0 at Tomares.

The attacking power of Osasuna when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Osasuna's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Elche-Osasuna H2H statistics last six meetings regardless of arena: Elche one win, Osasuna two wins, three draws. three of these six matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
