"Elche possess La Liga's seventh‑best home record, having accumulated 20 points from 12 outings. That bodes well against an Osasuna side that have managed just two wins on the road all season. Historically, Elche have rarely dominated this matchup; they have won only nine of their last 33 meetings with Osasuna in all competitions. Their most recent victory in this fixture dates back to November 2015."
"Key defender David Affengruber is suspended after collecting a milestone yellow card against Real Sociedad. On‑loan Barcelona full‑back Héctor Fort is still recovering from a shoulder injury, while Rafa Mir and Josan miss out due to muscle problems. André Silva-on the scoresheet last weekend-is expected to partner Álvaro Rodríguez in attack. Sarabia is likely to maintain faith in his usual midfield structure despite the recent poor form."
Elche have not won a league match since a 4‑0 victory over Rayo Vallecano in their final match of 2025 and have collected only two points from six games. The club sits 15th with 24 points from 23 matches, two above the relegation zone and four behind tenth place. Home form is a strength, with Elche holding La Liga's seventh‑best home record on 20 points from 12 outings. Historically they have won only nine of their last 33 meetings with Osasuna, with the most recent victory in November 2015. Key defender David Affengruber is suspended, Hector Fort, Rafa Mir and Josan are sidelined, and André Silva is expected to partner Álvaro Rodríguez. Osasuna enter in excellent form, having earned three wins.
