Osasuna vs Leganes Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 17th August 2024

LaLiga title favourites Osasuna begin their title challenge this coming Saturday in an opening day encounter with Leganes at Estadio El Sadar.

Osasuna took down Leganes in their most recent meeting, and bookmakers deem another win for the home side a likely scenario on Saturday.

Osasuna only average a modest 1.4 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 14 goals. They also conceded 17 for an average of 1.7 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring one times.

Leganes are currently not the most scoring team in the LaLiga, as they only found the back of the net eight times in ten matches. This is an average of just 0.8 goals a game in which they conceded ten times, an average of one per game. They managed five clean sheets in these.

The last time Osasuna faced off against Leganes, Osasuna claimed a 2-1 win at Estadio El Sadar.

Osasuna vs Leganes Prediction

Osasuna Form

Osasuna are unbeaten in their last three games after drawing 1-1 with Mallorca, beating Atletico Madrid 1-4 and drawing 1-1 with Villarreal. Osasuna only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Estadio El Sadar in the LaLiga. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored five and conceded nine goals.

Leganes Form

Leganes are unbeaten in their last three matches, first beating Sporting Gijon by 2-1. This was followed by a 2-2 with Ferrol and a 2-0 win against Elche. In their last six away matches in the LaLiga, Leganes won twice, while also recording two draws. They endured two defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying five goals conceded and five scored.

The draw could easily be picked out as the value bet on Saturday, since Osasuna have settled for a stalemate quite often recently. Leganes could also be satisfied with a point at Estadio El Sadar.
