Aubameyang's absence tests Deportivo's La Liga home record against Osasuna

Can Deportivo replace its leading scorer?

That is the key question before Monday’s La Liga meeting, because P. Aubameyang is unavailable with a knee injury despite scoring 5 goals and providing 2 assists in 7 league appearances. Osasuna’s A. Budimir carries the clearer available scoring record, with 7 goals in 10 appearances.

Home control meets Osasuna’s away weakness

Deportivo’s home record this league season is 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss, with 6 goals scored and 5 conceded across its home games. Osasuna’s away record is 1 win and 4 losses, while it has conceded 17 goals and scored 6 in away games. Neither side has kept a clean sheet in those respective settings.

That contrast gives Deportivo the stronger statistical platform, but Aubameyang’s absence removes the player who has supplied the most direct goal output for the home side. No replacement or tactical change is established by the team news.

Points level before Round 11

The provisional pre-match table places Deportivo 12th and Osasuna 14th, both on 11 points after 10 games. Barcelona leads the league with 30 points, leaving both teams 19 points behind. Deportivo’s most recent sequence in the supplied 10-match form sample ends draw, draw, win; Osasuna’s ends draw, win, win.

Kickoff should test whether Deportivo’s home defensive record can withstand Budimir’s threat while the hosts manage without Aubameyang.
