With their 11 point advantage in the league table, Osasuna fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Espanyol.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Osasuna form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga, Osasuna have managed 4 wins, 5 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 13 games. Osasuna are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Estadio El Sadar, having lost their two previous games here.

No payout for Osasuna in their previous match, an away game at Sevilla that ended in defeat 2-3. Ahead of that match, Osasuna lost 0-3 at home to Granada.

Heartbreak for Osasuna in their last match as Sevilla's Y. En Nesyri scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

This is expected to be a close game, with Osasuna perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Osasuna as a small favourite), we find three games. Osasuna has won one of these, drawn two and lost zero.

Osasuna has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Osasuna defense is not exactly impregnable. 20 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Espanyol form and stats

Espanyol, who have the most conceded goals (45) in La Liga, have only collected 12 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 3-3-7 (13 played).

Espanyol played 1-1 against Atlético Madrid in their previous match. A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Wolverhampton Wanderers.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Espanyol playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were three Espanyol wins, two draws and four defeats.

The attacking power of Espanyol when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 13 league matches away. Espanyol's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 21 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Espanyol - Osasuna 2-4. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Osasuna won six games, one match ended with a draw and Espanyol has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
