Osasuna vs Leganes Match Prediction
“Osasuna” is considered the favourite of the meeting, primarily due to the factor of their field. Pamplona have always been renowned for their strong support from the stands and their ability to get results at home. It should not be forgotten that in the last five head-to-head matches at El Sadar, the home side has always won.
However, Leganes should not be underestimated. “The Pepineros had a brilliant last season in the Segunda, winning the title and a direct route to the Primera. The team will surely try to demonstrate that they have not returned to the elite for nothing and are ready to fight to keep their place.
Given the style of play of the teams and the history of their rivalry, the match is unlikely to be rich in goals. Both Osasuna and Leganes traditionally rely on strict defensive play, compact formations, and quick counterattacks. In such a situation, there is a high probability that there will be few goals scored, and the outcome of the match will be decided by just one or two goals.
Prediction for the match total less than 2.5 for 1.75
Recent official meetings
Osasuna
“Osasuna” finished the season 23/24 unevenly, alternating successes with failures. In the last ten La Liga matches, the Navarre club won two, lost five, and drew three times.
Among Osasuna’s positive results, a sensational win over Atletico (1:4) and a draw in the Basque derby with Atletico (2:2) are worth mentioning. These matches demonstrated that the team from Pamplona is capable of fighting the giants and achieving success in crucial meetings.
The draws with Villarreal (1:1) and Mallorca (1:1) can also be credited to Osasuna, given the level of opponents and the tournament situation.
However, 4 consecutive defeats to Betis (0:2), Granada (3:0), Rayo Vallecano (2:1), Valencia (0:1) were a serious blow to the club’s ambitions.
Overall, Osasuna had an uneven season and failed to realise their full potential. The team lacked stability and self-confidence to secure their place at the top of the table.

Leganes
As for Leganes, they successfully spent the end of the 23/24 season in La Liga 2, became champions, and won the right to promotion. In their last ten matches, the Madrid club has had three wins, 6 draws, and only one loss.
The key moment for Leganes was the victory over Elche (2-0) in the last round, which secured the team the championship and a direct ticket to La Liga. This success was a natural result of the hard work of the coaching staff and dedication of the players.
Also worth noting are victories over Sporting (2-1) and Eldense (1-2), which added points to Leganes’ bank and strengthened its position at the top of the table.
The draws against Ferrol (2:2), Zaragoza (1:1), Tenerife (0:0), Espanyol (0:0), Huesca (0:0) and Cartagena (0:0) testify to the team’s fighting spirit and character, as well as its ability to get points in difficult encounters.
The only defeat against Albacete (1-0) is not out of the overall positive picture and did not affect the final success of Leganés.
The Madrid club had a great season in La Liga 2 and deservedly returned to the elite division. In the Primera, Leganes will face a tough fight for survival, but with proper dedication and tactical flexibility, the team is capable of securing a place in La Liga.
