Osasuna form and stats

Osasuna have collected 18 points from their La Liga home games so far after 4-6-5. Two home wins in a row for Osasuna bring valid hopes of a third.

The club members are hoping that Osasuna will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-4 away loss in the game against Real Betis (placed 5th). The striker Budimir was declared "man of the match" for Osasuna with a rating of 7.5/10. Budimir scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Levante.

Deportivo Alavés form and stats

There's been little loot from Deportivo Alavés's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 15 away games in the La Liga. Deportivo Alavés only have 1 win to counter their 11 defeats and 3 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Alavés have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Cádiz game.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Deportivo Alavés, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-4 versus Atletico Madrid (placed 3rd). Escalante got a match rating of 7.35 in that game, top player of the team. Escalante scored one goal and hit one key pass.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Real Sociedad wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Deportivo Alavés are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, five draws and four defeats. From a total of ten matches.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Alavés manager Etxebarria has some worries about the defense as 34 goals have been conceded in these travels. More than 50 % of these were let in from the 60th minute and onwards in these in the last 30 minutes of matches.

Head 2 Head

The two teams in this fixture also encountered each other earlier on this season: Deportivo Alavés - Osasuna 0-2. Head-to-head data (for the prior ten meetings): Osasuna won six games, two matches ended with a tie and Deportivo Alavés managed two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / eight
