Osasuna vs Elche Predictions and Betting Tips
Osasuna and Elche face off in Monday night's LaLiga Santander action at the Estadio El Sardar. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Osasuna siphoned four points of their opponents in the 2020/2021 campaign, winning their most recent meeting 2-0 after a four-goal stalemate a couple of months earlier.
Two struggling teams clash
Osasuna did make a good start to the 2021/2022 LaLiga season after just 14 games played. Even whilst picking up just two points from their last five games, they still reside in the top half of the standings but would need a turnaround on the results front. Osasuna head into this game having lost all of their last three matches and although they lost to three superior sides- Sevilla, Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid-, the fact they failed to score in any of those three games, including the 0-0 draw against Real Madrid before this three-game losing streak, is a cause for concern. Nonetheless, they have a chance to get themselves out of this as they take on the fellow struggling outfit, Elche.
Pablo Manusovich would take charge of his first game as interim boss following Fran Escriba's dismissal last weekend. Three goals Juanmi, Willian Jose and Fekir was the final straw that broke the camel's neck with Real Betis picking up a 3-0 victory last Sunday. Elche just survived relegation last season, finishing in 18th position after 38 rounds of fixtures. Just 14 games in this season, they're as low as 18th with just two wins and 11 points amassed so far. Would we see instant results on Monday evening ?
