(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBoth sides average above 1 goal per game, with Osasuna scoring 33 and Girona 31 in 28 matches. Defensive frailties are clear \u2013 Osasuna concede 1.25 goals per game, Girona even more at 1.54.

(48.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBudimir is Osasuna\u2019s main threat and ranks among LaLiga\u2019s top xG leaders (10.37), having turned that into 13 goals in 28 appearances. He averages over 2.5 shots per game and faces a Girona defence that has shipped 43 goals already this campaign.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Season Form & Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Both Osasuna and Girona have collected 34 points from 28 games, but Osasuna edge the table with a better goal difference (-2 to Girona\u2019s -12). Neither side is safe from a late-season scrap, making every point precious. Osasuna hold a marginally better win percentage (32%) than Girona (29%), but the visitors have closed the gap after a stronger recent run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
