Osasuna form and stats

Osasuna's struggle is real here at Estadio El Sadar with only 9 points collected from 9 La Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-4. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 13 attempts. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Osasuna manager J. Arrasate Elustondo and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Valencia (placed 14th) in the La Liga. In the game before, an away victory in the Copa Del Rey match versus Espanyol with a 2-0 scoreline.

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 seven matches with the results: Won two, drawn four and lost one.

Osasuna aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio El Sadar in the league, with only 8 goals from 9 games. Osasuna's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 13 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
