By comparison, prior to that run, the home side had lost four of five games, picking up their only point in that spell away at Real Oviedo (0:0). Overall, after the first half of the La Liga season, the Pamplona club have recorded just five wins, and across the campaign the club are averaging exactly one point per game. With those numbers, Club Atletico Osasuna sit in a precarious 15th place in the standings, with only two points separating the team from the relegation zone.

Real Oviedo
Real Oviedo’s recent results have been mixed. On the one hand, following the second managerial change of the season, the away side are still unbeaten. However, all three of their first La Liga matches under Guillermo Almada ended in draws. The team also shared the points with Real Betis and Celta Vigo, who are battling for European places. But wins are badly needed to stay up, and Real Oviedo have won only two of 19 matches since returning to La Liga.

Club Atletico Osasuna vs Real Oviedo: Match Prediction
Club Atletico Osasuna are doing everything they can to avoid slipping into the relegation zone. Over the last six La Liga rounds, the team have suffered only two defeats, and both losses in that spell came away from home. The club’s unbeaten home run in the league stands at three matches (two wins, one draw), and overall in this season’s competition the Pamplona side have lost only two of nine games on their own patch. Alessio Lisci’s men have scored in all of those fixtures, but they have almost always found the net exactly once or twice. The three-goal mark was reached only in the meeting with Alaves (3:0).
Real Oviedo are yet to lose since the season’s second coaching change, but all three La Liga matches under Guillermo Almada have ended level. The team have managed only two wins since the start of the current La Liga campaign. Their winless run in this competition has stretched since October and has now reached 12 matches (seven draws, five defeats). However, it is worth noting that despite all their problems, Real Oviedo rarely collapse defensively. They occasionally manage to keep a clean sheet, and the team have conceded more than two goals in only two of their last 13 league matches.
Prediction: Club Atletico Osasuna, double chance + Club Atletico Osasuna, under 2.5 goals
* For each team, the starting XI is the lineup from their previous match in this competition.
