Osasuna vs Espanyol Predictions

In-form hosts can pick off Espanyol

Osasuna look the best bet when they host Espanyol at El Sadar on Sunday. The visitors have lost seven of their last nine away games in the Primera Liga and Alessio Lisci’s side can take advantage.

Osasuna are 13th, one place above Espanyol in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. Osasuna have won 11 and lost 16 of their 36 games, while Espanyol have also won 11 but lost 16.

Osasuna have been finding the net regularly, scoring in nine of their last ten league games and in four successive Primera Liga matches.

They have only lost one of their last six home games against Espanyol in the Primera Liga.

The visitors are in poor form, with just one win in Espanyol’s last ten Primera Liga matches, and they have failed to win any of their last ten away games. Their last three road trips have all ended in defeat.

Espanyol have struggled defensively in recent games, failing to keep a clean sheet in four of their last six Primera Liga matches.

At least one these sides has failed to find the net in six of the last eight Primera Liga head-to-head clashes and six of Espanyol’s 16 defeats this season have been by a two-goal margin. Osasuna to get the 2-0 home win looks a decent correct-score option.
