• Leganes have failed to score in 53% of their away games.

Osasuna are battling for a top-half finish in La Liga

Osasuna made a return to winning ways in midweek as they pinched a 1-0 win away at Alaves, while Leganes drew 0-0 with Granada to make it four league games without a victory. The gap between these two clubs is up to 13pts and the hosts head into Saturday’s clash as the form favourites with two wins, one draw and three defeats from their last six outings.

The last time these two met back in August 2019 a solitary goal from Avila proved enough for Osasuna to claim all 3pts. The game ended on a sour note for the home side when deep into stoppage time Oscar Rodriguez was handed his marching orders for a straight red card offence.

Leganes are in the thick of a relegation fight

Our prediction for an Osasuna win on Saturday is backed by the recent head to head record between the two clubs as well as the performances of both teams at home and on the road this season. Osasuna have won four of their last seven matches against Leganes, including each of their last three home games, and the visitors’ last win against Saturday’s hosts arrived 4-years ago.

The hosts have won five times at home this season while Leganes have lost eight of their 15 matches on the road and have so far only claimed one win on their travels. The visitors average 0.60 points per away game and only score an average of 0.60 goals on the road, while Osasuna score an average of 1.33 goals per home game.

The visitors have struggled for goals on the road

As for a final scoreline, we’re predicting a comfortable 2-0 win for an Osasuna side that will be buoyed by their return to winning ways in midweek. The hosts have scored 20 goals at home this season and have kept clean sheets in 33% of those matches, while Leganes have failed to score in 53% of their away trips and have only notched nine goals on their travels. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in 73% of the visitors away games this season, suggesting that even though they lose on the road, Leganes are rarely thrashed, which ties in nicely with our prediction for a narrow 2-0 scoreline on Saturday.
