Osasuna Struggles Away from Home: A Cause for Concern

It is evident from the Girona-Osasuna match that the Navarre team significantly underperforms in away games. In a contest of urgent needs, the Catalan side clinched victory with a solitary goal from Vanat just before halftime. This outcome is unsurprising given Osasuna’s troubling track record away from El Sadar.

With a dismal record of two points from a possible 30 after ten away matches, the team’s struggles cannot be dismissed. Despite facing formidable rivals like Real Madrid, Atlético, and Barcelona, they have also encountered lesser-ranked teams such as Oviedo, Mallorca, and even Girona, who were positioned lower in the standings prior to their matches.

Moreover, Osasuna has failed to score in eight of those ten away matches. Their traveling supporters have witnessed only three goals: two against Mallorca and one versus Villarreal.

Fortunately for Osasuna, their home performance has been markedly better, amassing 17 points at their home ground under manager Alessio Lisci. Nevertheless, their total of 19 points suggests they are on track for only 38 points by the end of the league season, which is below the critical 40-point threshold typically associated with safety from relegation.

Last season, Osasuna faced similar difficulties, but their strong home performance allowed them to surpass the 50-point mark. This feat appears more challenging this time around.

In summary, the red-and-white squad must address their away form swiftly; otherwise, they may find themselves in a precarious position in the league standings.
