Osasuna vs Leganes Prediction and Betting Tips | August 17th 2024

Osasuna and Leganes get their 2024-25 La Liga campaign underway when they go head-to-head at the Estadio El Sadar on Saturday. Vicente Moreno’s men head into the weekend on a three-game winning streak against the visitors and will be looking to extend this impressive run.

Osasuna brought their pre-season fixtures to an end last Saturday when they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Alaves at the Tajonar Facilities.

This capped off an unconvincing run of results in the off-season for Moreno’s side, who failed to win four of their five friendly matches, losing twice and claiming two draws.

Osasuna's aim this season will be to secure a top-half finish in the La Liga standings after they picked up 45 points from 38 matches to end in 11th place last term.

Leganes, on the other hand, stormed to the La Liga 2 title last season to end their four-year absence from the Spanish top flight. Borja Jimenez’s men picked up 74 points from 42 games in the second tier to finish first in the table, two points above runner-up Real Valladolid.

Leganes head into Saturday’s clash off the back of a decent pre-season campaign as they picked up two wins and two draws from their five warm-up matches.

Osasuna vs Leganes Prediction

While Leganes will be looking to announce their return to the big leagues in style, they face the challenge of an Osasuna side who have won their last three encounters. Osasuna’s home advantage also gives them a slight edge here and we are backing them to secure the win.
