Osasuna are unbeaten in three meetings with Espanyol, winning three on the bounce before a goalless draw in Pamplona in August. Only three of their last nine clashes have produced more than two goals.

Under 2.5 goals is 8/11.

Raúl de Tomás has scored 38 goals since the start of last season, but has never found the net in five appearances against Osasuna. He is 15/4 to break the deadlock and 5/4 to put that right.

-Match preview

Can Osasuna push on and secure a top half finish?

Last weekend, despite taking the lead through Ante Budimir’s penalty, Osasuna were held to a 1-1 draw by Elche.

The host’s equaliser coming just five minutes from time at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero.

RCD Espanyol meanwhile are currently 14th, all but safe from relegation, which represents a solid season for a newly-promoted club.

Vicente Moreno’s team though have lost their last three, most recently a 4-0 drubbing at the Bernabéu last weekend as Real Madrid were crowned champions.

Having only won one of their last five, losing the other four, the Catalan club have slipped two places and won’t want to end the season in poor form.

Who will win this mid-table matchup at RCDE Stadium?
