Osasuna vs Valencia Prediction & Betting Tips (15 April)

In search of a 3rd good season in the elite, Osasuna was not at the same level as in the last two years. Remember that last year, the Rojillos finished in 7th place with a total of 53 points and after 30 matches played this year, they only have 39, 5 behind their evening opponent who is in the running for 6th place. Before the break in the league, Osasuna won an important match but well within its reach against Almeria who are none other than the red lantern in the championship 0-3. A success which made it possible to put an end to the start of a series of two defeats in the elite against Girona 3rd and the leader, Real Madrid 2-4.

Opposite, we find the club Ché de Valence which, after a few seasons at vegetating in the second half of the table, finds itself playing the leading roles in the race for Europe. Following their success on behalf of the 26th day late on the pitch of Granada 0-1, the Blanquinegros had returned to 7th place with a disbursement of only 5 points over Real Sociedad. Note that before the success in Granada, Valencia remained on three consecutive defeats away in the league, without scoring a single goal against Atlético 2-0, against Las Palmas 2-0 and against Villarreal 1-0.

Absent from the trip to Almeria, Kike Barja (16 appearances in La Liga this season), Unai Garcia (1 goal in 7 games) will be absent again but not Lucas Torro who will make his return this weekend. If it occupies the top 10 at the dawn of this 31st day, the Basque club can thank its Croatian striker Ante Budimir who has been impressive in front of the cages this season. With 16 goals to his name, he is joint top scorer in La Liga with Dovbyk and Jude Bellingham. The latter scored his team's 2nd goal against La Union following on from that of Arnaiz (2 goals in La Liga this season). Having undergone surgery again recently, former OL central defender Mouctar Diakhaby will be absent until end of the season.

He is not the only one who could miss this trip to the Basque Country since Captain Gaya and Ukrainian striker Yaremchuk are also affected and uncertain for this match. Against Granada, it was Andre Almeida (1 goal in 10 appearances), coming off the bench, who gave his team the 3 points. Hugo Duro (12 pawns) and the midfield pair, Guerra and Pepelu (4 goals each in the league) are expected to start.
