La Liga Preview

Valencia continues their fight to stay in the Spanish top-flight this weekend when they play host to Osasuna. They come into this fixture sitting 19th in the overall standings, as they have lost four of their last five matches. Valencia is now two points from safety in the league, and a return to winning ways is desperately needed if they are to maintain their status in the Spanish top fight. 

They suffered a 13th loss of the season in their most recent fixture, as they were beaten 1-0 on the road by Barcelona. Only the team sitting bottom of the La Liga standings has suffered more defeats this term than Valencia, while the relegation-threatened side is also among the lowest scorers in the division. However, they do boast a reliable defensive record, having allowed just 28 this term. 

Osasuna is the visitors this weekend, as they look for a vital win to build momentum in their push for a European spot. They currently sit eighth in the standings after 24 rounds of fixtures, but a victory this weekend could lift them up a place, and level on points with Villarreal, who sit sixth. 

Osasuna wasn’t able to register a second straight win in their most recent fixture, as they could only play out a 0-0 draw against Celta Vigo. The hosts dominated play in that match, registering five shots on target to the zero recorded by Celta. But, Osasuna just couldn’t find a way through. 

Valencia vs Osasuna Head to Head

Valencia has picked up two wins from the previous three matches against their opponents this weekend. However, each of the previous three fixtures has been won by the team playing away from home. In fact, there has only been one home win in the last five showdowns between these sides.

Valencia vs Osasuna Prediction

This is likely to be an extremely cagey affair between two sides desperate not to taste defeat. We wouldn’t be surprised to see a 0-0 draw, but a chance is taken on Osasuna to score the odd goal in the match to register a 1-0 success on the road.
