Match preview

Osasuna return to home turf looking to bounce back from a high-scoring 5-2 defeat at Alaves. Prior to that away setback, the hosts put together a solid opening run featuring clean-sheet displays at home, including a 0-0 draw against Levante and a 1-0 win over Getafe. With seven points from their opening four matches, Osasuna sit eighth in the table.

Espanyol travel with four points from four matches, occupying 12th place. The visitors started the campaign with a 3-0 victory over Levante but have since gone three matches without a win, falling 2-1 to both Real Madrid and Real Sociedad before sharing the points in a 1-1 draw against Sevilla. On the road, they have yet to secure a point.

Historical clashes between these sides have consistently been tight, low-scoring encounters. Across their last ten head-to-head meetings, nine have stayed under 2.5 total goals, with Osasuna holding an edge in Pamplona by winning three of the past five home fixtures.

Key factors

  • Osasuna are unbeaten at home this season with one win, one draw, and zero goals conceded.
  • Espanyol have failed to win in their last three league outings, including an away loss at Real Sociedad.
  • Head-to-head history heavily favours low totals, with nine of the last ten meetings producing under 2.5 goals.
  • Osasuna have avoided defeat in eight of their last ten encounters with Espanyol across all competitions.
  • Ante Budimir has scored four goals in Osasuna's opening four league fixtures.
