Prediction: 1-1
Osasuna
Girona and Osasuna take on each other at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi in a highly-anticipated Copa del Rey game. Girona aim to build on back-to-back wins over Burgos and Huesca, and they must be high on confidence ahead of the Spanish Cup clash. All Bustos, Garcia, Artero, and Junca are pushing for a start, speaking of the home team. Los Rojillos, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Getafe.
Osasuna, though, are not regarded as good travelers, and that is the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on draw. Both Avila and Perez have recovered from coronavirus, while all Barbero, Brasanac, and Sanchez are rated doubtful for the game. Defender Jesus Areso is sidelined with a wrist injury. This will be the first meeting between the two sides since June 2016 when Osasuna defeated Girona in the Spanish second tier.
Highlighted Player (Adrian Ortola):
Adrian Ortola is a Spanish goalkeeper who plays for Segunda Division side Tenerife. Born in Xabia, Spain on August 20, 1993, Ortola spent his youth career at the likes of Javea and Alicante before moving to Villarreal in 2008.
The 185-cm tall shot-stopper did not see any game action with the senior team, but he has 43 appearances in total for Villarreal B and Villarreal C. In 2013 he moved to Barcelona, being assigned to the reserve team. He played for Alaves and Deportivo La Coruna on loan as well before signing a two-year deal with Tenerife in the summer of 2019.
Adrian Ortola made his Tenerife debut in a 2-0 loss to Zaragoza on August 17, 2019, and he kept his first clean sheet with los Insulares in a goalless draw with Las Palmas the following month. Speaking of his international career, the goalkeeper has four caps with Spain U20 team.
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.
