About The Match
Osasuna arrive with the stronger early-season record and home advantage, but Espanyol's away matches have been far more open than Osasuna's home games. Osasuna have taken 7 points from their four league matches and kept a clean sheet in both home games, while Espanyol have just 4 points and have conceded in every away match. The key uncertainty is whether Espanyol's high-scoring away trend, with all of their away games going over 2.5 goals, can break down an Osasuna side that has yet to concede at home.
