La Liga
On Saturday evening, struggling Cadiz heads to Pamplona to take on Osasuna, with the visitors looking for what could be an important victory in the fight for survival in La Liga.
Osasuna in search of consistencyThe home team’s recent form in La Liga is a tale of inconsistency. However, a 1-0 win at Real Sociedad ended a three-game winless run in the Spanish top-flight.
The result against La Real followed a low-scoring trend for Osasuna of late in the Spanish top-flight, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches in La Liga.
The team’s recent mixed results have hampered their chances of moving up the table. The team from Pamplona is currently nine points adrift of the European spots in La Liga.
Osasuna saw a solid five-game unbeaten home run end with a 3-0 defeat against Celta Vigo in their last La Liga in front of their own fans. The loss also ended a three-match winning run on home soil in La Liga.
Cadiz is desperately in need of inspirationThe Yellow Submarine are badly in need of inspiration in the fight to beat the drop to Segunda. The visitors head into this clash on the back of a 20-game winless in the Spanish top-flight.
Cadiz’s main issue of late has been a lack of goals, as they have scored just once in their last seven outings in La Liga.
Despite their lack of goals and wins of late in the Spanish top-flight, Cadiz are still just three points from the safety of 17th place in the table.Sergio’s team is winless in 17 away games in the Spanish top-flight, which dates back to April.
What am I backing?Before the surprise defeat against Celta, Osasuna had a strong record on home soil, while Cadiz has been travel sick of late. However, I can see this being a relatively even and low-scoring game, so I am backing under 2.5 goals scored.
