Osasuna have won three games and lost two fixtures of their five League matches at home this season.

With the LaLiga season well into its stride, Espanyol have managed to gain nine points

With a win in their previous game, (1-0) against Real Valladolid, Espanyol will likely be in a positive frame of mind.

Also, Espanyol need to get out of the losing habit, with four recorded in the last eight games. Their position is fourteenth in the League and they have nine points, that is, 2W, 4L and 3D having won two fixtures, drawn three fixtures, and lost four matches.

Espanyol will travel to Osasuna with a win record on the road that is quite unremarkable, with one victory, two darts, and one defeats.

A win in this fixture, would take Espanyol’s points from 9 to 12, so far this season.
