Osasuna vs Espanyol: Under 2.5 goals
Osasuna's 0.5 expected goals meet Espanyol's 1.0 expected goals, giving the model an 80.9% probability the match stays under 2.5 goals. The top three predicted scorelines are 0‑0, 0‑1 and 0‑2, underscoring a low‑scoring outlook.
Both sides come into the game with modest recent form – Osasuna have turned a poor start into two wins in five, while Espanyol have managed only one win in four matches. With Osasuna conceding none at home and Espanyol leaking two on the road, the defensive numbers suggest a tight contest.
Robbo's Verdict
The model assigns an 80.9% chance the total will stay under 2.5, driven by both teams' low expected goals and the prevalence of 0‑0 and 0‑1 scorelines in the forecast.
Show the maths
With Osasuna averaging 0.5 expected goals and Espanyol averaging 1.0, the model gives a 75.1% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 24.9% it gives to both teams scoring.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 1.5 (Osasuna 0.5 + Espanyol 1.0) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 80.9% chance against 19.1% for Over.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Osasuna at 18.1%, the draw at 34.9%, and Espanyol at 47.0% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-0 at 22.3% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Osasuna
Osasuna's recent five results (L 1‑2 vs Espanyol (H), L 0‑1 vs Getafe (A), D 0‑0 vs Levante (H), W 2‑1 vs Celta Vigo (A), W 1‑0 vs Getafe (H)) show a shift from early defeats to back‑to‑back wins, indicating improving defensive solidity at home – the clean sheet against Levante and the 1‑0 win over Getafe underline their ability to limit goals, supporting the under‑2.5 pick.
Espanyol
Espanyol's last four league outings (D 1‑1 vs Real Sociedad (H), W 3‑0 vs Levante (H), L 1‑2 vs Real Madrid (H), L 1‑2 vs Real Sociedad (A)) include a dominant win but also two narrow defeats, suggesting they can score but often concede multiple goals, reinforcing a low‑scoring scenario when paired with Osasuna's defensive record.
Head-to-Head
In the five most recent meetings, the results have been 1‑2, 0‑1, 2‑0, 0‑0 and 1‑1, with three games featuring three or fewer total goals, which aligns with the forecast of an under‑2.5 outcome.
