- Osasuna have scored just twice in four home LaLiga 2026/2027 matches.
- Racing Santander have scored just four goals in four away LaLiga 2026/2027 matches.
Tight turnaround likely for top-heavy clubs
The form lines make little sense in this fixture, which sees Osasuna sitting 15th in LaLiga 2026/2027 with eight points from seven matches and Racing Santander a point behind in 16th. Los Rojillos have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five, which is not a momentum-building run while the Racinguistas have won two and lost three of their last five, which is a disastrous spell after the break.
Luis Ramis has built a solid base of his Osasuna side since taking over on 1 July 2026. Their 4-2-3-1 set up is typically built around a compact shape, trigger pressing and quick breaks to the wide areas that should be easier to access against Racing Santander's 4-2-3-1.
José Lopez has had a good start to the job since taking over on 12 December 2022 as Racing are playing a possession-based brand of football in their controlled-chaos system. Yassir Zabiri is their star outlet and has contributed six goals in 7 LaLiga 2026/2027 appearances, including three of Racing's six in their last five.
Los Rojillos look to have a home advantage
The Racinguistas are still seeking their first away win in 2026/2027 after four matches, having lost all four. A couple of those defeats were against top-flight clubs, but a 0-2 defeat to Espanyol, a 4-0 win at Atlético Madrid and a 1-1 home draw with Rayo Vallecano suggest Osasuna are in a good spot to get the points in this clash at Estadio El Sadar.
We're going to take Osasuna to get the job done in the double chance bet as Racing have no road form and Osasuna have a better structure at home, although the home side are only a slight favourite in the 9/10 to 14/5 range with the draw at 51/20. A low-scoring game looks the best angle for this LaLiga clash as BTTS-No is 6/5 and Under 2.5 Goals is 11/10 while the correct score prediction is for Osasuna to sneak this 1-0.
