Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Osasuna will try to extend their winning run at home to three games when they take on Las Palmas in the La Liga round 6. Los Rojillos are a team with two faces as they struggle on the travels, while producing fine performances at home. As a result, the bookies see Osasuna as favourites to win Saturday’s encounter. Croatia forward Ante Budimir is pushing for a start, while both Iker Munoz and Enrique Barja continue to miss out with injuries.
La Union Deportiva, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level this season, with the team slipping down the standings week by week. Given Las Palmas’ poor defensive display in back-to-back defeats to Deportivo Alaves (0-2) and Athletic Bilbao (2-3), we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Both Adnan Januzaj and Jesus Crespo are injured for the visiting 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.
