Espanyol v Osasuna predictions and preview: Betting stats

Espanyol currently sit in the relegation zone in 18^th with 9 points (W2 D3 L5). Their form is improving of late at LDWDW and it’s their recent results that have brought them off the bottom of La Liga. At home they have been indifferent with one win, two draws and two defeats but have done well against some of the better teams. Their games average 2.70 goals with half seeing over 2.5 goals.

Osasuna have recently dropped to bottom of la Liga, being replaced with their hosts here. They have just 5 points (W1 D2 L7) and haven’t won for 4 games with form of WLDLL the reason they sit 20^th. Away from home they are yet to pick up a single point and have been beaten by 2 goals in all but one of their fixtures. Their games average fewer goals at 2.30 and only 4 have seen over 2.5 goals; 6 have had fewer.

Team News and Run of Play

Espanyol will be without Javi Lopez but aside from that have a full bill of health. Osasuna have Nino, Lamah and Bertran missing.

8 of Espanyol’s 9 league points this season have come in the last 4 games and this run of form has propelled the Barcelona-based side off the bottom of the table, overtaking their opponents here in the process. They had been losing games by the narrowest of margins at the start of the season and have since changed their fortunes and will probably push on up the table a bit further with a few better results.

Osasuna’s away form will worry their fans. At home they aren’t really picking up a great amount of points either and a defeat at home last week will not have helped the confidence. Being bottom of the league is always a struggle and I think morale will be low in the camp. They are off the pace in the relegation zone and I suspect they may struggle to get their first away points here.

Espanyol v Osasuna predictions: 1X2 betting preview

For me, confidence and momentum will play a big part here. Espanyol have improved dramatically lately while Osasuna have continued their poor start to the season. I think Espanyol to win this game at odds of 1.95 with Coral is a bet.

If you also see a home win, take Coral’s match price.

Espanyol v Osasuna predictions: Asian Handicap preview

For me, Espanyol -0.5 is the bet here as I can see them winning the match. However, since no Asian handicap prices exceed the match price above, stick to the 1X2 market for better value!

Espanyol v Osasuna predictions: Total Goals preview

Espanyol’s home games average 3 goals, Osasuna’s away games average 2.6. The visitors struggle to concede less than two goals whilst Espanyol, when winning or drawing, generally score a couple of goals or more. I think that it represents a bit of value to go for over 2.5 goals here at 2.10 with Paddy Power.
