Head-to-head statistics Alaves - Osasuna
Deportivo Alaves Team Overview
🔵 The season's finale promises to be incredibly tense for the team from Vitoria-Gasteiz. Quique Sánchez Flores hasn't introduced modern ideas to the squad, yet his reputation as a "firefighter" coach might just help the team avoid relegation. Currently, Alavés sit at 16th place in the standings, leading their nearest rival by 3 points. It's worth noting their average performance this season - scoring 1.03 goals per game while conceding 1.41.
⚪ In the last round of the national championship, Alavés played a historic match. Quique Sánchez Flores' side not only managed to come back from a three-goal deficit but also secured a dramatic victory over Celta Vigo (4-3). The standout performer was Toni Martinez, who scored twice and provided an assist. Meanwhile, the team's top scorer in this La Liga campaign is Lucas Boyé, with the Argentine netting 9 goals in 23 appearances.

Osasuna Team Overview
🔴 This season is seen as a transitional one for the "Reds" as Alessio Lisci gradually implements his tactical ideas and seeks balance across the lines. Currently, the team from Pamplona sits in 10th place in the league table, which reflects the solid work of the young Italian manager. However, a key issue remains Osasuna's inconsistent away performances, with only 9 points collected from 15 matches (ranking 17th in the league). Osasuna have failed to secure a win in their last three away games.
📌 In their previous league encounter, Osasuna secured a narrow victory over Girona (1-0). Truth be told, Alessio Lisci's side had ample opportunity to dominate their opponents. Osasuna not only maintained territorial control throughout the match but also completely neutralized the visitors' attacking threats. A glance at the expected goals ratio-1.71 to 0.21 in favor of the Pamplona outfit-tells the story. The club's top scorer this season is Ante Budimir, with 14 goals in 28 matches.
