Osasuna, Recent FormThe Osasuna squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Villarreal, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 42% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Villarreal who had 11 attempts and 8 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Jagoba Arrasate will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. He will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Espanyol, Recent FormEspanyol will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their home fixture against Real Valladolid. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Real Valladolid's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
José Joselu will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Espanyol.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Estadio El Sadar, Periquitos have been unable to break through the Osasuna defence and find the back of the net.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams has ended with a share of the spoils but Espanyol will be slighlty more concerned that they have not won this fixture in 4 games.
Roberto Torres has scored in each of Osasuna's last 2 league games against Espanyol.
There is only really one injury concern for the Osasuna manager Jagoba Arrasate ahead of this clash, with Kike Saverio (Tendon) missing out, which gives Arrasate a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Adrià Pedrosa (Hernia) and Rubén Sánchez (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Diego Martínez will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
