The La Liga clash between Espanyol and Osasuna on December 14, 2024, presents an intriguing clash of contrasting fortunes. Espanyol currently occupies the relegation zone in 18th place, struggling with a dismal record of four wins against ten losses in their last fifteen matches . Conversely, Osasuna sits comfortably in 7th place and boasts a solid recent form, remaining unbeaten in their last four encounters.

Osasuna drew their previous game which was at home. The action at Estadio El Sadar ended 2-2 against Deportivo Alavés. Los Rojillos enjoyed 60% possession and had eight shots on goal, while Ante Budimir and Ruben Garcia were both on target.

Osasuna have gone unbeaten in their past seven games against Espanyol, with the last encounter ending 1-1 at RCDE Stadium. The past 7 H2H matches have included four Osasuna wins along with three draws.

Osasuna will view themselves as the favorites coming into this match. The visitors are unbeaten in seven meetings with Espanyol, and in their last four visits here, they won twice.

In the last outing, hosting Alaves, a brace from Kike Garcia denied Osasuna at home as they drew 2-2. That left Osasuna with one win in their last five matches but they are unbeaten in the last four.

Despite their overall struggles this season, playing on familiar turf may provide them with a competitive edge. Predictions vary among analysts; while some foresee a potential draw due to Espanyol's home performance, others lean toward an Osasuna victory based on historical head-to-head success and current standings .
