Espanyol - Osasuna predictions

Espanyol are definitely more likely to win, though all three possible results are quite reasonable to expect. This makes it hard to make reliable betting predictions when this match is concerned, though we may find some betting value.

The visiting team knows that beating Espanyol on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Espanyol supporters could not believe their eyes when they saw their team take a first-half lead last time out in the La Liga. And instead of getting run over as most bookies online expected, Espanyol emerged with a huge point in a Real Sociedad draw.

Osasuna confirmed the HT/FT market in the previous round with a narrow 1:0 victory. The pre-match betting odds for them winning were set at 3.22, which means it wasn’t the easiest of matchups either.

If there’s any consistency to be found in the recent match history of Osasuna, it’s that the games tend to be rather uneventful. The latest two ended up with fewer than 2 goals on the score board.

Most online sportsbooks agree that Espanyol are more likely to win this match, which goes against what we’ve seen from this matchup last season. Osasuna recorded a decisive victory on that occasion, which means an upset this Sunday is not impossible.

This Sunday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

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 1.65 odds.
