Teams Comparison.

Osasuna may have lost just one La Liga (LL) game so far, but a league-high five draws (W1, D5, L1) makes that feat seem far less impressive than it sounds. To their credit though, they’ve come back from a losing position in three of those draws, with the other two ending goalless. Yet whilst Osasuna have drawn all three home games this term, that’s extended their impressive unbeaten home run in the league to 18 months (W21, D7), with 60.71% of their games over that period featuring an Osasuna clean sheet.

Villarreal travel here in buoyant mood after scoring five goals in a LL game for the first time since October 2016 after they beat Real Betis 5-1 last time out. On the road, their games have been entertaining, with the last five producing over 2.5 goals, and four seeing both teams score. Having won the four previous H2Hs, each by at least a two-goal margin, and with three wins by at least a two goal margin across their last four LL fixtures, it’s easy to see why Villarreal enter this game as favourites. However, a word of warning – the visitors have won just three of seven LL away games that they’ve started as a favourite since the beginning of 2018/19 (W3, D3, L1).

Quick Facts.

  • Gerard Moreno (VIL) has scored in five LL games this term, netting the opener in three.
  • Roberto Torres netted both of Osasuna’s LL home goals – Osasuna are unbeaten in the last 14 games that he’s scored in (W11, D3).
  • Osasuna haven’t conceded before half-time in their last seven home league games.
  • The last two H2Hs have seen the opener scored within the first five minutes, and a combined four penalties.
  • Villarreal have seen a league-high 4.14 match goals per fixture ahead of this round.
