Team Performance and Form:
Girona has recorded one draw (1-1 against Betis) and one loss (0-3 against Atlético Madrid) in their two matches so far, while Osasuna has achieved one draw and one win (1-1 against Leganés, 1-0 against Mallorca). Both teams have shown solid defensive statistics. Girona’s opponents have generated an average of 2.35 xG, while Osasuna’s opponents have only managed 1.47 xG.

Injuries and Expected Lineups:

Experts believe both teams will focus on strong defense, as neither can afford another defeat. Osasuna is known for solid defense, giving few chances to their opponents, while Girona will try to find gaps in their defense, especially playing at home.
Low-Risk Bet:
