Osasuna form and stats

Osasuna are steadily winning La Liga games and points here at Estadio El Sadar. 5 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 7 games. Two home wins in a row for Osasuna bring valid hopes of a third.

It's back home for Osasuna, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Celta de Vigo away with the result 2-1. Ávila (2) found the net in that victory. The talented striker Ávila bested all the other players in that match and managed a match rating of 8.81 out of 10. Ávila scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Ahead of that match, Osasuna won a home game hosting Real Valladolid (2-0).

Trouble hitting the net? In this team's last 12 league games, 9 have contained two goals or less.

There will be little rest for Osasuna after this match as they are travelling to Fuentes for a Copa Del Rey game in only four days.

The Osasuna fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. Osasuna are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio El Sadar in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 7 matches.
