Espanyol vs Osasuna
Spanish La Liga
Date: 8 May 2022, Sunday
Kick-off at 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
Venue: RCDE Stadium (Cornella de Llobregat).
Mid-table rivals Espanyol and Osasuna meet each other in the 35th round of La Liga on Sunday afternoon at RCDE Stadium.
Espanyol will be hoping to arrest the slump in form after losing four of the last five league games.
The latest defeat was the toughest of them all since Vicente Moreno’s troops conceded four unanswered goals to the new La Liga champions Real Madrid away at Estadio Dantiago Bernabeu.
It was the second consecutive match in which Espanyol failed to find the back of the net, following a 0-1 defeat to Rayo Vallecano in the team’s previous fixture in Cornella de Llobregat.
Osasuna have not been much more impressive of late either, but they at least managed to win two of their previous four league affairs.
Nonetheless, Arrasate’s troops did not shine seven days ago when they shared spoils in a 1-1 draw to Elche at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero.
Osasuna do have problems to keep things quiet at the back these days. This is the main reason for the run of three consecutive Both Teams To Score games they played on the road recently.
The visitors could easily struggle to get a result here against Espanyol who have been incomparably better at home than on the road since the beginning of the season.
Espanyol vs Osasuna Head-to-head
- Osasuna dominated this matchup in recent history, winning three and drawing one of the previous four encounters with Espanyol.
- None of the last three H2H matches between these two sides saw three or more goals scored.
- The outfits shared spoils in a goalless draw when they met each other in August last year at the beginning of the 2021/22 La Liga campaign.
Espanyol vs Osasuna Prediction
Neither of these two teams have an imperative to get a result here. We don’t expect either manager to use a careful approach in this type of game which is why the Both Teams To Score bet looks like a great option at the 1.90 odds.
As for the outcome, we are tempted to go with the home win at the 2.30 odds knowing that Espanyol have claimed nine of their ten wins in this term of La Liga at RCDE Stadium.
