- Seven of Elche's last nine games went above the 4.5-card threshold.
Correct score prediction: Elche 2-3 Osasuna
Elche are currently on a three-game losing run. While Eder Sarabia's men found the net in all three losses, they conceded exactly three goals in each defeat.
Moreover, Osasuna have a solid track record against Elche, with no defeats in the last 10 encounters between these sides. They have won three of their last four La Liga games, scoring exactly three goals in two of those victories.
All things considered, we are leaning toward the visitors for the win.

- DRAW: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%
- AWAY: 8/5 (2.60) – 38.5%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Elche's woes continued with a 3-1 defeat at Real Sociedad last time out. They have now lost three in a row and are without a win in their last seven matches across all competitions.
In contrast, Osasuna are currently on a four-match unbeaten run, having earned 10 points from a possible 12 in their last four La Liga outings. They are ninth in the Spanish top flight ahead of this encounter with 15th-placed Elche.
Considering Elche's recent shortcomings, Osasuna are the expected winners at 8/5 (2.60). Teams with these odds usually have a 38.5% probability of winning.

It is also important to note that each of Elche's last four matches and four of Osasuna's last five games went north of the 3.5-goal marker. For this reason, over 3.5 total goals has an appealing look at 5/2 (3.50). That one has a 28.6% chance of landing.
Most recent H2Hs: Osasuna have bragging rights
Although Osasuna are unbeaten in 10 consecutive meetings between these teams, it is fair to note that seven of those ended in stalemates.
In fact, Elche have not beaten Osasuna since November 2015.
