Espanyol - Osasuna betting tips and odds

Espanyol will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Osasuna don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 2.55 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

The task ahead is well-known to the visiting team. Defeating Espanyol on their own field would be a major accomplishment, and doing so is always challenging.

Although Espanyol’s previous La Liga outing at Almería was a crushing away loss, it’s hard to judge their form based on that performance alone. After all, they were out-classed by Almería , who secured an early lead and a comfortable 3:1 victory in the end.

Osasuna’s most recent La Liga appearance was in a home game, and it did not go their way. They went into the bout as the underdogs and lost largely due to a tiebreaker in the second half

This match might be a good chance to go for an Under 2.5 or even Under 1.5 Goals bet. Both of Osasuna’s previous two home games lacked any excitement in front of either goal.

With close to half the season already behind them, Espanyol find themselves at number 15th in the standings. Moving up is quite possible with so much time left, but matchups such as this one make that task more difficult.

The visitors will be playing at a disadvantage this Saturday, so it’s not likely that they’ll climb up the table to get to a Europa League qualification any time soon. There’s still close to half the season ahead of them, though, so they’ll have plenty of chances either way.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current La Liga season. Osasuna won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 888Sport priced at 1.56 odds.
