Osasuna form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their La Liga travels is 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Osasuna are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Budimir scored in Osasuna's previous match, the home game against Deportivo Alavés that ended 1-0. Late drama in the previous game, when Budimir scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Deportivo Alavés. Herrera (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.64. Herrera topped it up with a clean sheet.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Real Betis wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Osasuna have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, one draw and six defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Osasuna are hosting Real Madrid in the La Liga only four days away.

Osasuna have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 15 league away games 16 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Osasuna have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.

Head 2 Head
