Preview: Osasuna vs. Girona - prediction, team news, lineups
Osasuna vs. Girona is a La Liga match that will take place on Saturday, November 4, 2023, at the El Sadar Stadium in Pamplona, Spain. The match is scheduled to kick off at 15:00 local time (14:00 UTC).
Team news
Osasuna will be without the services of Nacho Vidal and Darko Brasanac, both of whom are injured. Moi Gomez is expected to return to the matchday squad after a short spell on the sidelines, while Jon Moncayola is likely to start in midfield. Arrasate could recall Ante Budemir to the starting lineup after the Croatia international missed the defeat to Getafe through suspension.
Girona are expected to be without the services of Toni Villa, Ibrahima Kebe, Joel Roca, Ricard Artero, and Santiago Bueno. Juanpe should therefore come into the XI, while there might also be a spot in the side for Portu, with Yan Couto potentially moving back into a wing-back position this weekend.
Lineups
Osasuna: Sergio Herrera; Unai García, David García, Juan Cruz; Rubén García, Moi Gómez, Jon Moncayola, Chimy Ávila; Ante Budimir, Kike García, Abde Ezzalzouli.
Girona: Juan Carlos; Juanpe, Bernardo Espinosa, David López; Aleix García, Oriol Romeu, Rodrigo Riquelme, Yan Couto; Portu, Valery Fernández, Cristhian Stuani.
Prediction
Osasuna have been inconsistent this season, but they have a good record at home, winning four of their last five La Liga matches at El Sadar. Girona, on the other hand, are one of the surprise packages of the season, sitting in second place in the table. However, they are winless in their last four matches in all competitions.
Given the current form of both teams, this match is likely to be a close one. However, Girona's superior attacking quality could give them the edge. We predict a narrow 2-1 victory for the visitors.
