Osasuna vs Girona – News and Probable Lineups

Girona seeks to secure consecutive victories in Spain’s premier league as they continue their domestic season with a match against Osasuna on Saturday.

The away side currently occupies the 12th position in the La Liga standings, sitting eight points clear of the relegation zone, while Osasuna holds the 11th spot, tied on points (34) with their counterparts.

Match overview

Osasuna has recorded nine wins, seven draws, and 12 losses in their 28 league fixtures during the 2025-26 season, accumulating 34 points which positions them 11th, eight points above the relegation zone and seven points away from the top six.

Los Rojillos finished ninth in La Liga last year, making their current 11th place unsurprising as they aim for another top-half finish.

However, Alessio Lisci’s team enters this game following a 3-1 loss to Real Sociedad, having gathered just one point from their last three outings.

Osasuna has been quite strong at home this season, earning 25 points from 13 matches while losing only two games in front of their supporters.

On the other hand, Girona has been reasonably solid on the road, gathering 15 points from 14 encounters, promising an intriguing showdown on Saturday evening.

The visitors come into this fixture after a 3-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao at home, and they have managed to lose just once in their past six matches in Spain’s top division.

Similar to Osasuna, Girona has accumulated 34 points from their 28 league games this season, leaving them eight points clear of the relegation zone and seven points outside the top six.

With the talent in their squad, the White and Reds could make a push for European spots, and it will be interesting to see what transpires with head coach Michel this summer, as he has been linked to prestigious roles at Manchester City and Real Madrid.

In terms of head-to-head, Girona has a slight edge, having recorded 11 victories to Osasuna’s 10, with just four draws in their encounters.

In fact, Girona also triumphed in their previous meeting earlier in the season, securing a 1-0 victory in front of their fans.

Team News

Osasuna will be without long-term absentee Iker Benito, but the home team otherwise is in great form ahead of Girona’s visit this weekend.

Both Ruben Garcia and Raul Garcia return from suspensions and are likely to rejoin the starting XI.

Meanwhile, Ante Budimir is set for another position in the attack, having netted 13 goals in Spain’s top flight during the 2025-26 season.

For Girona, Juan Carlos, Donny van de Beek, Portu, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Bryan Gil are absent due to injuries.

Additionally, Cristhian Stuani and Thomas Lemar face late fitness tests, meaning the visitors could be without seven first-team players this weekend.

Vladyslav Vanat has scored nine league goals in what has been an impressive first season, and the 24-year-old is likely to lead the line for Girona here.

Osasuna probable starting XI:

Herrera; Rosier, Boyomo, Catena, Galan; I Munoz, Moncayola; Ruben Garcia, Oroz, V Munoz; Budimir

Girona probable starting XI:

Gazzaniga; Rincon, Reis, Blind, Martinez; Witsel, Beltran; Tsygankov, Ounahi, Roca; Vanat

This match is quite challenging to predict, but Osasuna won the corresponding fixture last season 2-1, and it is believed that their solid home form will help them secure all three points this weekend.
