Osasuna vs Espanyol: La Liga Match Preview

Osasuna host Espanyol at Estadio El Sadar, Pamplona, on 17 May 2026 in La Liga Regular Season - 37. The sides are level on 42 points, with Osasuna 13th (goal difference -4) and Espanyol 14th (goal difference -13) in the Primera División table.

Osasuna Availability

Osasuna have two fitness concerns ahead of kickoff. Raul Moro (Injury) is doubtful. VÍctor Muñoz (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. Both are listed as potential absentees rather than confirmed non-starters, leaving late fitness tests to determine their involvement.

Espanyol Availability

Espanyol face one confirmed absentee and one concern in attack. Javi Puado (Knee Injury) is sidelined. C. Ngonge (Knee Injury) is doubtful. Puado’s status rules him out of the trip to Pamplona, while Ngonge still has a chance to feature depending on his recovery progress.

Impact Summary

Osasuna’s main attacking reference A. Budimir, with 17 league goals, is fully available, so their primary goal threat remains intact despite the doubts over Raul Moro and VÍctor Muñoz. For Espanyol, the loss of Javi Puado removes a versatile forward option, increasing the importance of creators like Edu Expósito, whose 6 assists underline his influence in the final third. Overall, Espanyol’s attacking depth looks more affected than Osasuna’s ahead of this fixture.
