Good morning, dear Osasunists!Elche and Osasuna are celebrating this special day for lovers with a new match in La Liga and they are going to play an intense nervous game to avoid relegation for next season.
Fran Escribá, Elche's coach is aware of the complexity of the confrontation as Osasuna is a hard team to play as a visitor and Osasuna is very comfortable away from El Sadar. Besides, Osasuna players are eager to get more points and broaden their gap with the relegation posts. They won last game in El Sadar against Getafe ( 2-0 ) and they seem to have forgotten their defeats against Athletic (1-5) and Villarreal (3-1).
When Osasuna players are nervous, anxious or don't move the ball from one side to other, they suffer with their rivals. It is true that as visitors Osasuna won against Málaga (0-1), Valladolid (0-1) and Betis (1-2), and got a point against Celta (1-1) and Granada (0-0).
On the other hand, Elche have won four matches at their stadium: Espanyol (2-1), Valencia (2-1), Rayo Vallecano (2-0) and Almería (1-0), but they got a draw three times and lost five matches. Besides, as it happened last week against Getafe, it is very important to bear in mind the goalaverage and the first round game. Now Osasuna is ahead Getafe as Osasuna lost 2-1 in Madrid, but they won 2-0 at El Sadar. Therefore, as Osasuna won in Pamplona 2-1 against Elche, it would be great to get a point or even to win in the Mediterranean field.
Javi Gracia, Osasuna's coach, can't use De las Cuevas and Puñal, as they got injured and it seems that Torres and Lolo will substitute them.
Posible kickoff teams:
Elche: Toño, Damián Suárez o Sapunaru, Lombán, Botía, Edu Albacar, Manu del Moral, Rubén Pérez, Rivera or Carlos Sánchez, Fidel, Coro, Cristian Herrera.
Osasuna: Andrés Fernández; Marc Bertrán, Loties, Arribas, Damiá; Silva, Lolo; Cejudo, Torres, Armenteros; Oriol Riera.
LET'S FALL IN LOVE OSASUNISTS! GORA OSASUNA! AUPA ROJILLOS!
