*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Osasuna are coming off an impressive 2-0 victory over Atletico Madrid. They have enjoyed some fine form of late, winning four of their last six matches (D1, L1).
With only two matches left to play, Vicente Moreno's troops are vying for a UEFA Conference League spot.
On the other hand, Espanyol are trying to avoid relegation. They are currently on a four-match losing run and are five points above the relegation zone.
With that in mind, Osasuna are the expected winners at 4/5 (1.80). Teams with these odds usually have a 55.6% probability of winning.

Player to watch: Ante Budimir
No 33-year-old in Europe's top five leagues has scored more goals than Ante Budimir this season. The former Mallorca forward has been impressive with seven direct goal involvements in his last six appearances. Budimir has scored in back-to-back games and will look to extend that streak this weekend.
