On Saturday afternoon, Osasuna and Elche clash at the Estadio El Sadar as the home side looks to keep their European hopes alive in La Liga.
Osasuna form guideThe home side’s chances of a top-six finish have diminished in recent weeks, as the men from Pamplona are now nine points adrift of the league's top six. A goalless at Mallorca last time out in the Spanish top flight means that Arrasate’s team are now winless in their previous four matches in La Liga.
Their main problem of late in the league has been scoring goals, as Osasuna has now failed to score in their last four outings in La Liga.
Los Rojillos’ poor recent home record could cost them at the end of the season, as they are winless in four home matches in the Spanish top-flight, having suffered three defeats in the run and picking up one measly draw.
Elche form guideThe visitors have looked set for a return to the Segunda for some time, and their recent league results have only added to that feeling. Elche are rock bottom of the table and 13 points from safety.
Elche heads into this clash after five defeats in their last seven matches in La Liga. Their recent league games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their previous four games in La Liga.
Unsurprisingly, Elche has a poor recent away record, suffering five defeats in their previous seven league games on their travels.
Latest team newsOsasuna has fitness doubts over forward Chimy Avila and defender Ruben Pena. Elche could be missing Enzo Roco and Jony Alamo due to injury issues.
What am I backing?Both teams have struggled for results in recent games and goals. Therefore, the bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
