Analysis The numbers behind the result
Levante dominant in xG but thwarted by wasteful finishing
The 0-0 draw between Osasuna and Levante was a tale of wasted opportunities, with Levante's superior expected goals (1.31 vs Osasuna's 0.67) highlighting their inability to convert dominance into goals. Despite enjoying 54% possession and creating more high-quality chances, Levante managed only a single shot on target, a damning indictment of their finishing. Osasuna, while less creative, were more efficient with their attempts, landing 7 shots on target from a lower xG.
Levante's 1.31 xG, spread across 11 total shots, underscores their superior chance creation but also their profligacy, particularly from outside the box (6 attempts). Osasuna's defensive resilience, evidenced by 9 corners conceded but only 4 faced, kept Levante at bay, with Sergio Herrera's composed goalkeeping (1 save) ensuring a clean sheet. The lack of a clinical edge from Levante, particularly in the final third, was the decisive factor. The match swung on Levante's inability to convert their 1.31 xG advantage, with Osasuna's disciplined shape (46% possession, 79% pass accuracy) enough to secure a point.
