Osasuna form and stats

3-5-2 (win-draw-lost) are the La Liga numbers at home for Osasuna so far this season.

Osasuna are returning here after visiting Recreativo Huelva in a Copa Del Rey game and winning with a 3-2 scoreline. D. Brašanac, Iñigo Pérez and E. Ávila scored the goal(s). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Real Valladolid that ended 0-0.

A very satisfying win for Osasuna against Recreativo Huelva last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 0-2- The win was secured through I. Perez's goal in the 111st minute.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Osasuna have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won 6 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Osasuna have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio El Sadar with 16 goals in 10 league matches. On the other hand, Osasuna have conceded 13 goals.
