Bookmakers, taking current statistical trends into account, are giving a slight edge to the home side.

Head-to-head statistics Osasuna - Girona
Osasuna Team Overview
🔴 The "Reds" are gradually adapting to the unique tactical ideas of Alessio Lisci. Osasuna now looks like a cohesive unit with their own strengths up their sleeve. Currently, the team from Pamplona sits in 11th place in the La Liga standings. Notably, they have an 8-point cushion from the relegation zone. Interestingly, Osasuna's unbeaten streak at home has reached 7 consecutive matches. Their average performance in this La Liga campaign stands at 1.18 goals scored per game while conceding 1.25.
📌 Last weekend, Osasuna suffered an away defeat against Real Sociedad (1-3). The "Reds" fell short in several key statistical areas and deservedly came away with nothing. A glance at the expected goals ratio tells the story: 2.13 to 0.65 in favor of the "Royals." Alessio Lisci's tactical model is built on a solid defensive line and the use of a dedicated defensive midfielder. This often results in Osasuna lacking sharpness in front of the opposition's goal. The team's top scorer in this La Liga season is Ante Budimir, with 13 goals in 27 matches.
Match Results: Osasuna
Girona Team Overview
⚪ Over their last six matches, the "White-Reds" have suffered just one defeat. Michel's excellent work under pressure deserves praise, as Girona are no longer directly involved in the relegation battle. Instead, they aim to secure a spot in the upper half of the league table. However, Girona's defensive inefficiency continues to concern fans, with an average of 1.54 goals conceded per match, ranking them 15th in the league.
🔴 In the previous round of the national championship, Girona secured a convincing victory over Athletic with a 3-0 scoreline. Interestingly, it was the first time in eight matches that the "White-Reds" managed to keep a clean sheet. Michel does not favor a dominating style of play; instead, the Spanish coach focuses on quick transitions and effective actions during transitional phases. For Girona's players, maintaining high intensity when playing without the ball is crucial-one of the key features of Michel's tactical approach. The top scorer in La Liga is Vladyslav Vanat, with 9 goals in 25 league appearances.

Latest news
Osasuna
🎤 Osasuna's head coach Alessio Lisci shared his thoughts on his team's painful 3-1 away defeat to Real Sociedad: "Physically, they were stronger than us, there's no doubt about that. All their chances came from counter-attacks after winning the ball back or when we tried to exploit the space behind them, like with the penalty situation. There's one very clear instance. In the first half, when we were deservedly losing, there was a blatant penalty that wasn't given. Had the first half ended 2-1-not in our deserved favor, I repeat-the second half might have unfolded differently. We need to try to learn from this, but let's not dramatize too much, as it won't help us at all."
❌ Among Osasuna's unavailable players, Iker Benito stands out with a knee injury.
Girona
🎤 Following a commanding 3-0 victory over Athletic, Michel spoke to journalists in the press center: "This win brings us joy, but we're not at ease yet. We need to secure another 8 points to achieve our goal. Once we reach 42 points, we'll be more at ease." During the press conference, the Spanish coach addressed a question about potentially managing Manchester City: "I'm ready, I consider myself prepared to coach any team. I don't know if Manchester City feels the same way. The environment there is certainly different, but I can adapt-and I want to give it a try." We'll soon find out what fate awaits the Spanish specialist.
❌ Among Girona's injured players are Ricard Artero (ankle injury), Bryan Gil (knee injury), Juan Carlos (knee injury), Portu (knee injury), Marc-André ter Stegen (hamstring injury), and Donny van de Beek (Achilles injury).
⚽ Goal Prediction
In 8 out of Barcelona's last 10 matches, there have been at least two goals scored. A similar trend is observed in 4 of Girona's last 5 games. It's worth noting that both clubs have been conceding quite frequently this season: the "Reds" at 1.3, and the "Red and Whites" at 1.5 goals per game. Therefore, a reasonable bet option would be - both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Prediction
We suggest placing a bet based on current statistical trends. In 9 of Osasuna's last 10 matches, there have been no more than 10 corner kicks. This trend is also evident in 8 of the last 9 head-to-head encounters between these teams. Considering all of this, we propose the following bet - Osasuna's individual total corners under 5.5.
Editorial Prediction
In their last five head-to-head encounters, Osasuna have managed just one win. At this stage of the season, the "white and reds" appear to be a more cohesive and organized side-additionally, the depth of the visitors' squad seems much more convincing and preferable. Our editorial team anticipates a high-scoring affair with points for the visitors. We predict a final score of 2-2, with a key bet being Girona will not lose.
