Valencia vs Osasuna Prediction: La Liga Match on 27.08.2023

It has been a good start to the new season for Valencia this term, as they have put their relegation scrap from last term behind them over the opening weeks. They will be looking to record a third straight win to start the new season on Sunday against Osasuna.

La Liga Preview

Huge positives would have been taken from Valencia’s start to the new season, as they have put their disappointments from the previous campaign in the rear mirror. Expectations have certainly increased based on their performance levels, with some even now expecting Valencia to potentially challenge for a place in Europe. 

The Spanish giants were extremely patient in their most recent La Liga match, as they needed to wait until the 74th minute to score the winning goal against Las Palmas. Their winning effort was netted by Pepelu, and was just their fourth shot on target in the match. Their performance was slightly worse than their opening, but picking up a winning feeling would be a huge bonus ahead of a busy run of fixtures.

This fixture comes at a challenging time for Osasuna this week, as they will have one eye on their Europa Conference League playoff tie against Club Brugge. Osasuna have picked up three points from their opening two matches this season, and they have scored twice and allowed two goals in 180 minutes of action. 

However, a response will be required this weekend, as Osasuna suffered a 2-0 loss on matchday two against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday. They only had themselves to blame in that defeat, as Osasuna dominated the ball and created 18 opportunities. However, they were unable to find the net, despite having seven shots on target. 

Valencia vs Osasuna Head to Head

Valencia have picked up wins in 13 of the previous 23 encounters between these two sides. That includes victories in each of the previous two, and three of the last four. They were 1-0 winners in this exact fixture last season, which was played in March. 

Valencia vs Osasuna Prediction

Valencia have started the new season in an impressive manner, but their performance level last seen was a little underwhelming. Osasuna did everything but score against Bilbao, and we expect them to correct that issue in front of goal against their rivals this weekend.
