Osasuna are without a victory in Spain's top flight since the start of February, failing to triumph in their last nine games in all competitions, which has seen them drop down the La Liga table.


Vicente Moreno's side have a record of seven wins, 14 draws and nine defeats from their 30 league matches this season, with 35 points leaving them in 13th spot in the table, seven points clear of 18th-placed Leganes.


Los Rojillos will enter this match off the back of a 1-1 draw with Leganes, and they have been the stalemate specialists in Spain's top flight this term, with almost half of their league games this season ending in a share of the spoils.


Osasuna have the seventh-best home record in La Liga this season, picking up 24 points from their 15 games in front of their own fans, while Girona have struggled on their travels, claiming just 13 points from 15 away fixtures.


Los Rojillos have actually lost each of their last three league fixtures with Girona, including a 4-0 reverse earlier this season, while they were beaten 4-2 by the Catalan outfit in the corresponding fixture last term.


Girona had an extraordinary 2023-24 campaign, finishing third in La Liga, which saw them qualify for this season's Champions League, but it has been a much more testing campaign for the club this time around.


Indeed, a record of nine wins, seven draws and 17 defeats from 30 matches has brought them 34 points, which is only enough for 15th spot, six points clear of the relegation zone.


Michel's side have been dangerously sliding towards the bottom three in recent weeks, having failed to pick up all three points since the start of February, losing five of their last eight in the league and drawing the other three.


Girona will enter this match off the back of successive losses to Barcelona and Alaves, and it is certainly not impossible to imagine them being pulled into the relegation battle if their form does not improve over the next couple of weeks.



Osasuna possible starting lineup:

Herrera; Areso, Boyomo, Catena, Herrando, Bretones; Moncayola, Torro, Oroz; Ruben Garcia, Budimir


Girona possible starting lineup:

Gazzaniga; Frances, Blind, Krejci, Gutierrez; Arthur, Herrera; Tsygankov, Van de Beek, Danjuma; Ruiz
