Prediction
Predicted score
Our Poisson model rates each team's attack and defence mostly on expected goals, the quality of the chances it makes and allows (blended with last season's ratings early on), then weighs head-to-head history and injuries to calculate the most likely outcome.

In brief

Sixteenth-placed Osasuna host fifteenth-placed Santander. Both sides arrive in poor form. Osasuna have won one of their four home games and Santander have lost every away game this season. Osasuna have one of the league's leakiest defences; Santander have one of the league's leakiest defences. Past meetings between the two have been fairly even. Osasuna have the longer injury list. The model makes Osasuna favourites. The model gives Osasuna a better chance than the bookmakers do.

Key factors in prediction

Statistics baseline: 2026 season
Osasuna vs Santander
Attack strength
0.83 / 0.79
Defence strength
1.06 / 0.67
Head-to-head
1.00 / 1.00
Injury factor
1.00 / 1.00
No units: every number compares a team with an average Premier League side, which scores 1.00. Attack is a team's scoring rate at home or away (built from goals and expected goals) against the league average, so 1.16 means 16% more than average. Defence is the same for goals conceded, turned round so higher is better. Head-to-head and injuries nudge each side's expected goals: 1.15 adds 15%, 0.85 takes 15% off, 1.00 changes nothing.

Where we differ from the bookmakers, they have usually been right: in our backtests, backing the outcomes our model rated higher lost money. Treat a difference as something to look into, not a bet.
