Osasuna Form

In their last three matches, Osasuna beat Celta Vigo by 1-2 and Getafe by 1-0, before losing against Deportivo Alaves by 5-2. Osasuna managed to win two of their past six home matches in the LaLiga. In the remaining four, they drew one and lost three, as they scored six and conceded seven goals.

Espanyol Form

A single draw prevents Espanyol from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short, losing by 1-2 and 2-1 against Real Madrid and Real Sociedad, respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation, as they were able to hang on for a 1-1 draw against Sevilla. Espanyol managed to win just once in their past six away games in the LaLiga.
