Prediction: 1-1
Osasuna
Castellon play host to Osasuna to their Estadio Municipal de Castalia in the Copa del Rey last 32. Los Albinegros aim to build on back-to-back wins over Murcia and Sanluqueno and they are surely capable of making life difficult for los Rojillos in front of home fans. Both Haris Medunjanin and Salva Ruiz are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
Osasuna, on the other hand, sit in the middle of the La Liga standings after 18 rounds. As Jagoba Arrasate’s men have been struggling on the road of late, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Defender Johan Mojica is sidelined with a ligament injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team. In their last meeting in the Spanish Cup the two sides played out a goalless draw after 90 minutes and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Chimy Ávila):
Popularly known as "Chimy," Ezequiel Avila 's youth career was spent playing football in Argentina at Tiro Federal. An Argentinian himself, the Rosario native signed his first professional contract with Federal in 2010 and made his debut appearance in the same year, featuring in a 2-0 away loss to Almirante Brown on the 16th of October.
Chimy then spent an additional five years at the club, making just 13 appearances before joining San Lorenzo on a free transfer. His Lorenzo spell generated his first professional goal, which came on the 20th of April, 2016, in a Copa Libertadores game against LDO Quito. In 2017, he left Lorenzo to join Spanish outfit SD Huesca on a two-year loan deal. This move marked Chimy's first time playing club football outside Argentina.
At Huesca, the winger scored 17 goals in 70 appearances. At the end of the loan period in 2019, Chimy returned to Lorenzo, who, in turn, sold him to LaLiga side CA Osasuna on a transfer worth 5 million euros. Born on the 6th of February, 1994, the 25-year-old is currently on a four-year contract with Los Rojillos.
Highlighted Team (Osasuna):
Osasuna are a Basque football team that plays in Spanish La Liga. Los Rojillos are based in Pamplona and and the club were founded in 1920. Estadio El Sadar has been the home of Osasuna since 1967 and the capacity of the stadium is 19,800.
The colour of Osasuna’s home kit is red, while the team’s shorts are navy blue. Los Rojillos dropped to the Segunda Division at the end of the 2013/2014 La Liga campaign, but they did not spend too many time in the Spanish second tier. The club returned to the elite division in 2016 after beating Girona in the play-offs.
Osasuna made it to the Spanish Copa del Rey final in 2005, but they eventually lost to Real Betis after extra time in the title game. The meaning of the word Osasuna is “health” in Basque and it is used in a sense of strength.
