Three most recent head-to-head matches were won by Osasuna, who had a productive pre-season, but squad was not significantly strengthened. Budgerigars don't want to leave La Liga again, so they were active on the transfer market. We are expecting a contested match and the outcome might be decided by a one single mistake.
