Espanyol vs Osasuna Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 31st August 2025
Espanyol hope to live up to their early billing as the LaLiga title favourites on Sunday when they welcome Osasuna over to the RCDE Stadium for a round 3 match.
Espanyol are placed fourth with four points after two matches. Osasuna occupy a position as tenth in the league on three points.
With four points to show for the first two matches it has been a decent opening to the new campaign for Espanyol, who aim for three more points this time around.
Nobody likes to be on the losing side, especially so early into a new season. Espanyol and Osasuna are no exception in this respect. Both teams are eager to improve from last term, leading us to expect an exciting affair at RCDE Stadium.
Espanyol are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 11 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.1 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 14 goals, or an average of 1.4 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to two clean sheets in this run.
Osasuna scored 15 goals, conceded ten and managed four clean sheets in their previous ten matches.
The last time these two sides facing off here came up against each other, Osasuna came away with a 2-0 win. They have a similar outcome in mind at RCDE Stadium, but face stern opposition, of course.
Espanyol vs Osasuna Prediction
Espanyol Form
Espanyol look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last 3 matches saw them get two wins and a draw. They ran out 2-0 and 2-1 against Las Palmas and Atletico Madrid respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Real Sociedad as the game finished level. The exact score was 2-2. Espanyol won three of their previous six matches at RCDE Stadium in the LaLiga. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring seven goals to six against.
Osasuna Form
In their last three matches, Osasuna drew 1-1 with Deportivo Alaves, lost 1-0 against Real Madrid and beat Valencia 1-0. Osasuna managed to win just once in their past six away games in the LaLiga. On top of winning once they also drew three as well as losing two, while scoring ten time and letting in eight.
For whatever reason, Osasuna and Espanyol usually find goals tough to come by, when facing each other, and history makes under 2.5 goals our call here.
