Match Prediction: Osasuna vs. Elche
Osasuna has been very confident at home recently and will aim to extend their winning home run in La Liga, which currently stands at six matches. During this period, the team has defeated not only mid-table teams and outsiders but also Atletico Madrid. Moreover, in their last five home league matches, Osasuna has managed to keep a clean sheet.
Elche has had a strong start to the current championship, but 7 of their 9 points have been earned in home fixtures. Additionally, during their previous stint in Spain's top division, the team did not impress with their away results: in the 2022/23 season, the club suffered 13 defeats in 19 away La Liga matches. Elche has also lost twice in their last three league encounters with Osasuna at their ground.
I believe the hosts will secure three points in this match. My prediction: Osasuna to win
