As Girona and Osasuna seem to be evenly matched ahead of Saturday’s clash, we predict that they will play out a 1-1 draw on Matchday 19. The Catalans return to Montilivi with no fresh injury worries after their 2-1 victory at Mallorca, although their overall injury list remains long. Michelâs side continue to show mixed form (LLWLW), and their home numbers highlight some concerns. Girona average just 0.67 goals scored at home this season, while conceding frequently, reflected in a high 1.96 xGA in front of their own fans. Clean sheets have been rare (10% overall), and they tend to allow opponents clear chances even in matches they control territorially.Osasuna, meanwhile, arrive in solid shape with Abel Bretones back from suspension, adding stability to a defence already performing reliably. Alessio Lisci’s team have taken 7 points from their last four, and their away scoring rate of 1.83 goals per game shows they travel with confidence. Their expected goals numbers also indicate consistency, posting 1.57 expected goals away, which is stronger than Gironaâs home output. The main concern is their 50% failure-to-score rate on the road, though their recent form suggests improvement.
