The Matchday 31 La Liga clash between Osasuna and Girona will take place on April 13 at the El Sadar Stadium in Pamplona. Osasuna vs. Girona: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Osasuna
Vicente Moreno's side extended their winless streak in the league, which now stands at eight matches (5 draws and 3 losses). In the last round, the club drew away against Leganes, conceding a penalty equalizer late in the game (1-1). The Pamplona-based team sits in 13th place and is no longer in contention for a European competition spot, trailing by 13 points.
- In the last 18 La Liga matches, Osasuna has achieved only one victory (11 draws and 6 losses).
- Both teams scored in 8 of the last 11 league games involving the Pamplona side.
- At least two goals were scored in eight of the club's previous La Liga encounters.
Predicted lineup for Osasuna (5-4-1)
Sergio Herrera – Abel Bretones, Jesus Areso, Jorge Herrando Oroz, Alejandro Catena, Enzo Boyomo – Jon Moncayola, Ruben Garcia, Lucas Torro, Aimar Oroz – Ante Budimir.
Girona
The Catalans are in a similar situation to the Pamplona side. In the last round, the team lost at home to Alaves with a score of 0-1. This marked the eighth consecutive league match without a win (3 draws and 5 losses). As a result, Michel Sanchez's squad has dropped to 15th place in the standings, with the relegation zone now just six points away. Notably, Girona has scored 37 goals in the current La Liga season, while at this stage last season, they had 62 goals.
- Both teams scored in 8 of the last 11 La Liga matches involving the Catalans.
- Girona conceded first in 7 of their last 8 La Liga matches.
- The club has not scored more than one goal in seven previous away league matches.
Predicted lineup for Girona (4-2-3-1)
Paulo Gazzaniga – Daley Blind, Ladislav Krejci, Miguel Gutierrez, Alejandro Frances – Donny van de Beek, Yangel Herrera – Abel Ruiz, Oriol Romeu, Yaser Asprilla – Arnaut Danjuma.

Osasuna vs. Girona: Match Prediction
In the 2018/19 season, the Catalans had the same number of points after 30 rounds as in the current tournament (34). They also had the same negative goal difference (-9) and were in 14th place in the standings. In 2019, the team finished in the relegation zone and spent three seasons in the Segunda. I believe the current Girona could follow a similar path.
The Catalans have failed to win away in five consecutive La Liga matches. During this series of away games, the club drew with Espanyol and suffered four defeats. Osasuna's home performance is not impressive, yet they are difficult to beat at home – in the last 17 home La Liga matches, the Pamplona side has suffered only three losses (6 wins and 8 draws). Considering that the hosts have been drawing too often, I cautiously predict – Osasuna with a handicap (0)
