Eibar vs Osasuna Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in each of the last six meetings between these two clubs.
• Five of the last six meetings between these two clubs have ended in draws.
• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in four of Osasuna’s last six matches.
• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in 75% of Osasuna’s away games this season.

Eibar are unbeaten in their last four league games and sit 9pts clear of the drop zone

Eibar ran out 2-1 winners away at Granada on Sunday, doing Osasuna a favour, and moved onto 35pts for the season, while Osasuna claimed a 2-1 win at home to struggling Leganes and are now just 2pts off 10th placed Granada.

When these two sides last locked horns in August the match was once against tight, tense and competitive, seeing each team receive four yellow cards apiece. The game ended goalless and the pair drew for the third consecutive competitive match. Osasuna edge the form guide heading into Thursday’s clash with three wins, one draw and two defeats from their last six league games, but Eibar aren’t far behind having won two, drawn two and lost two matches during that same period.

Osasuna have picked up 4pts from their last three matches on the road

Our prediction for under 2.5 goals to be scored in Thursday’s clash is backed up by the recent encounters between these two clubs and the visitors away record this season. All of the last six meetings between Osasuna and Eiber, competitive and non-competitive, have produced under 2.5 goals, spanning all the way back to the 2nd leg of their Copa del Rey clash in 2017.

Four of the visitors’ last six league games have produced under 2.5 goals which isn’t much of a surprise considering that 75% of Osasuna’s away games this season have also featured under 2.5 goals. In terms of a final scoreline, we’re predicting a 1-1 draw this Thursday as we’re expecting a very close and competitive 90-minutes at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa.

Games between these two clubs have been tight and tense over the last few years

Five of the duo’s last six encounters against one another, competitive and non-competitive, have ended in stalemates and on each occasion, those games have produced under 2.5 goals. Osasuna have drawn more games on the road than they have won this season (6) and while the visitors claim the title of form favourites, Eibar are unbeaten in their last four league games. The hosts score an average of 1.38 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.38 goals while the visitors score an average of 1.00 goals on their travels and concede an average of 1.31 goals, which ties in perfectly with our prediction for a 1-1 draw on Thursday.
