Espanyol vs Osasuna Prediction and Betting Tips | 4th February 2023

Espanyol host Osasuna at the RCDE Stadium in La Liga on Saturday, looking to pick up just their fifth league victory of the season.

Osasuna have accrued eight more points than Espanyol and sit in eighth position, although Los Rojillos are coming off the back of a defeat too.

Atletico Madrid secured a 1-0 victory at El Sadar last Sunday as Saul Niguez scored the only goal of the game in the 71st minute to inflict a seventh loss of the season on Los Rojillos.

The club have now won just once in their last seven league outings.

Neither side are currently on a good run of form, but Osasuna have had a better campaign overall, courtesy of a stoic defense.
