Key Prediction Insights

Elche are marginally favoured to take all three points, with a 39.0% probability of a home win compared to 37.0% for Osasuna and 24.0% for the draw. The model leans towards Elche despite Osasuna sitting higher in La Liga (9th with 29 points) than Elche (15th with 24 points). The game is also projected to be open, with an over 2.5 goals prediction at a 56.0% probability.

Match Analysis

Elche come into this fixture on a worrying run of three straight defeats, conceding three goals in each: 1-3 at Sociedad, 1-3 at home to Barcelona, and 2-3 away at Levante. Those matches show a recurring defensive problem, but also a team that still finds the net regularly. Their advanced metrics underline this imbalance: in the last five games they have scored an average of 2.2 goals, but conceded 1.6, while allowing a very high 2.836 expected goals against per match and failing to keep a single clean sheet. Osasuna arrive in far better form, unbeaten in their last three, with wins at Celta (2-1) and Vallecano (3-1) sandwiching an impressive 2-2 home draw against high-flying Villarreal. They have been more controlled in both boxes: over the last five games they average 1.4 goals scored and 1.4 conceded, with 0.988 expected goals for and 1.388 against. That suggests a more compact side than Elche, even if they too have not managed a clean sheet in their last five outings.

Under/Over 2.5 Goals Prediction

The model points to an over 2.5 prediction with a 56.0% probability, and recent results back that up. All three of Elche’s latest matches – 1-3, 1-3, and 2-3 – have gone over 2.5 goals, reflecting their high 2.2 goals scored and 1.6 conceded on average, plus a worrying 2.836 xG conceded. For Osasuna, all of their last three – 2-1, 2-2, 3-1 – have also finished over 2.5, despite more modest xG numbers (0.988 for, 1.388 against), pointing to clinical finishing and some defensive looseness.

Corners Prediction

Corners Probability Distribution

Distribution
Probability of each corner count outcome
Cumulative Probability (CDF)
Probability of corners ≤ X
The predicted corners total for this match is 8.7, suggesting a moderate number of set-piece situations rather than a barrage. Elche’s last three games produced combined corner counts of 6, 10, and 10 (they struggled to win many themselves, notably only 1 at Levante), while Osasuna’s yielded 10, 8, and 7. Elche’s recent pattern shows opponents dominating territory, whereas Osasuna’s more balanced style should still ensure enough attacking phases to support this corners prediction around the 8–9 mark.

Shots Prediction

Shots Probability Distribution

Distribution
Probability of each shot count outcome
Cumulative Probability (CDF)
Probability of shots ≤ X
The expected shots total is 24.95, indicating a game with a healthy amount of attempts from both sides. Elche’s last three matches saw shot totals of 22, 39, and 32, often with the opposition piling on chances, which aligns with their high xG conceded. Osasuna’s recent games finished with 26, 20, and 25 total shots, consistent with a side that creates and concedes in roughly equal measure. This supports a shots prediction close to 25 expected shots overall, matching the open, attack-minded trend in both teams’ recent outings.

Final Prediction

Elche are given a slight edge mainly due to home advantage and their strong recent scoring record, even if their league position is lower than Osasuna’s. The key factor to watch will be whether Elche’s fragile defence can cope with an Osasuna side that has found a good rhythm in attack; if not, this has all the ingredients of a high-scoring, end-to-end encounter.
