Osasuna take on the visitors Espanyol in the round 10 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, October 20th at Estadio El Sadar (Pamplona).
Osasuna were raised from the Segunda under the leadership of Yagoba Arrasate. All 3 previous draws of this modest project showed the level of a strong middle peasant, alternating 10th and 11th places in La Liga. And the current pace even turned out to start with a bang: a sensational 2-1 in the 1st round with Sevilla, then 2 more wins in the next 3 rounds. There was even talk that the “Pamplonians” could be hooked on something significant in this championship and memories of their previous appearances in European competitions. But then there was the defeat of Getafe, which brought everyone back to earth. Yes, it was possible to create problems further. It was Osasuna that became the first club to take points from Real Madrid. They also lost minimally Valencia, 1-2. On Monday there was a meeting with Villarreal. And again, little came of it - they lost 0-2.

Espanyol are quite controversial. On the one hand, as the antipode of Barcelona, they are not devoid of ambition, and have more than one glorious page. Relatively recently there was another entry into European competition. On the other hand, after that there was already a fall into the Segunda. So it turns out that the swing of the "parrots" is habitually large, but not necessarily confirmed by real strength. Last season brought only 14th place - however, with a fairly comfortable margin from the danger zone. Now the wards of Diego Martinez Penas again do not shine. They took only 1 point in the first 3 rounds (in Vigo they fought back from 0-2 with Celta), then, after an unexpected victory in Bilbao over Athletic, they again lost twice in a row with a couple of draws. And only on October 16, they finally won again. Joselu's goal was the only one in the confrontation with Valladolid. By the way, the 32-year-old striker, who moved from Alaves, had a great start to the season. He already has 7 goals in 9 matches (though 2 from penalties). Only Lewandowski scores more in this season in La Liga!
Osasuna are unbeaten for 5 head-to-heads in a row. True, after 3 victories, draws were already recorded twice, in the last season. The bookmakers believe that Osasuna, as a home team, has a pretty good chance of success. But now she is not in the best shape, and Espanyol can take advantage of this. We recommend betting on the fact that in this match there will be “a total of more than 2.0 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
