Espanyol v Osasuna: LaLiga Action on Match-day 35

Sunday LaLiga action from Rcde Stadium, as Espanyol take on Osasuna.

As it stands, Osasuna will go to Rcde Stadium in ninth place, Espanyol are currently in fourteenth.

This season’s LaLiga campaign, has so far seen Espanyol achieve 39 points

Espanyol come to this game on the back of a victory, having beaten R Madrid 4-0 at Santiago Bernabeu.

Also, Espanyol have a huge task to over-turn their rivals in this fixture, having already lost three matches this season. Now they have 10 matches won, 15 games lost and 9 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in fourteenth place, with a total of 39 points having won 10 games, drawn nine meetings, and lost 15 fixtures.

When Espanyol host Osasuna, they will do so on the back of nine wins, four darts, and four defeats on their own ground.

Victory for Espanyol would take their points tally to 42 so far this season.

Espanyol may have to resort to second choice players, given the number of first choice players that are now unavailable through injury, illness or suspension.

With the LaLiga season well into its stride, Osasuna have managed to gain 45 points

Osasuna’s next opponents will smell blood if they begin the next match with all guns blazing. Whilst it’s understandable that they may want to do this, after their recent 1-1 draw at Elche and previous loss to R Madrid, Los Rojillos must get a positive result and keep defensively solid.

Also, Osasuna seem unable to get over the line on a consistent basis, with one draws in one game. They currently stand ninth in the League, with 45 points for a total of 12 wins, 13 losses and 9 draws having won 12 meetings, drawn nine meetings, and lost 13 games.

Osasuna’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Espanyol. In the 17 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won seven fixtures, drawn three matches, and lost seven fixtures.

A win in this fixture would take Osasuna’s points to 48 in the League.

Osasuna’s squad will likely be depleted of one of their key players when they start on Sunday, due to injury or illness.
