La Liga: The middle-of-the-table spots highlight the path Osasuna and Girona have been on so far. Both participants are set to play; let's get this boat on the water!
- Osasuna have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
Girona are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Osasuna form and stats
Osasuna have played 18 La Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 10-1-7 (wins-draws-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for Osasuna after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The regulars are hoping that Osasuna will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the game against Getafe (placed 15th). Defender Hernández got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.3/10. Hernández served one assist, hit one key pass and won 3 of 5 duels.
Before that, Osasuna had a home game versus Athletic Club which ended with a victory 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 Osasuna have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 2 and lost 3.
The Osasuna fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 18 matches. Osasuna's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 20 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Girona form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Girona so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 3-7-8 (win-draw-lose). Two points from the last two away games for Girona, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
The manager Muñoz was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Estadi Municipal de Montilivi. Girona suffered a 1-2 loss to Real Betis (placed 6th). It's a bit troubling for Girona that their goalie Gazzaniga made six saves in the Real Betis game, but still couldn't stop a beating. Gutiérrez was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.71. The defender Gutiérrez scored one goal, hit two key passes and won 4 of 6 duels.
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Celta de Vigo that ended 1-1.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Girona playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 3 Girona wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
Both teams to score? This side's most recent statistics suggest that, having played 5 league games in a row with one or more goals from each team.
Girona have scored 22 goals on their travels this season, from 18 away games in the league. Girona struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 27 goals conceded from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
