Prediction: 1-2
Osasuna
Espanyol and Osasuna square off against each other at RCDE Stadium in what is expected to be a close La Liga encounter. Los Periquitos aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Getafe and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Osasuna. It has to be noted that Espanyol have already recorded four wins at home in the new Primera Division campaign. Home win, though, should not be considered as both Omar El Hilali and Jofre Carreras are banned for the match.
Los Rojillos, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches. Osasuna aim to climb to the Conference League berth and given their four-game unbeaten run at RCDE Stadium, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. Jon Moncayola serves a one-game ban, while both Jose Manuel Arnaiz and Bryan Zaragoza are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Espanyol):
Espanyol are a Catalan club that plays in Spanish La Liga. Espanyol were founded in 1900 and their original name was Sociedad Espanola de Football. In 1901 the Catalan club changed its name to Club Espanol de Futbol. Los Periquitos used to play in bright yellow shirts in the past, but current colour of the team’s home kit is blue and white.
Espanyol’s fiercest rivals are Barcelona and the two teams face each other in the Catalan derby (Derbi barceloni). Espanyol have always been in Barca’s shadow, but it has to be noted that los Periquitos have won four Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup trophies).
The likes of Raul Tamudo, Jose Maria, Antonio Argiles and Mauricio Pochettino are players with most appearances for the Catalan outfit. Espanyol play their home games at Estadio Cornella-El Prat and the capacity of the stadium is 40,500. Los Periquitos have never participated in the Champions League.
