Valencia vs Osasuna Preview

Valencia

Despite massive injury woes, Valencia managed to get their first victory against Girona (2-0). The Champions League debutants looked lacklustre throughout the whole match and failed to trouble the opponents. 

Head coach Rubén Baraja made several tactical adjustments, including giving Pepelu more freedom in midfield. This proved to be a game-changer; he played well in the centre of the field, led the pressing, and provided two vital assists.

Valencia’s strategy became more cautious after gaining the two-goal lead, showing a shift towards a more defensive setup. Giorgi Mamardashvili’s crucial save boosted the team’s confidence and helped secure the win.

However, Valencia’s attacking options are severely limited due to the absence of injured Hugo Duro and Rafa Mir, who is sidelined by legal issues. As a result, Baraja is forced to adopt a more defensive approach in the coming matches.

Osasuna

Osasuna have demonstrated solid form at home and earned 10 points in six rounds. Vicente Moreno has built an attacking system that creates dangerous moments and is able to play aggressively. 

However, they have difficulties on the road. Although Osasuna adopts a more defensive approach in away matches, it does not help Los Rojillos keep a clean sheet and recent losses to Rayo Vallecano, and Girona saw them concede a combined seven goals.

Despite the defensive challenges, Flavien Enzo Boyomo has stood out with his reliable performance in recent matches. Though he has made some mistakes as he adapts to the club’s system, his overall reliability has been a positive aspect for Osasuna’s backline.

Valencia vs Osasuna Prediction

• Pick: Osasuna or Draw
• Odds: 1.80 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Valencia 1-1 Osasuna

Valencia showed signs of recovery in their last match, but their success was largely due to Girona’s vulnerability, which allowed Los Ches to capitalize on counterattacks.

Playing against Osasuna like that will be impossible since the visitors are unlikely to fight for the initiative. They also focus on playing in the defence, and considering their fast wingers, Osasuna will mostly use on counterattacks to secure a result.

Despite scoring two goals against Girona, Valencia have generally struggled with creating dangerous moments. We think that they will have a tough game against Osasuna and the guests will be able to clinch at least a point in this clash.

Valencia vs Osasuna Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both Teams to Score
• Odds: 2.04 (22Bet)

Pepelu was spectacular against Girona while Javi Guerra and Dani Gomez paired well in the attack. Considering the weakness of Osasuna’s defence, Los Ches will be able to score one goal, but the visitors, with their pacey wingers and ability to counterattack, will likely have their chances in the attack.

Looking at their head-to-head history, six out of the last eight meetings ended with both teams scoring, showing a pattern of competitive and entertaining matches that produced thrilling moments. Additionally, Osasuna’s recent form, with six goals in their last three games, shows they can be dangerous going forward.

Based on this information, our recommended bet for this clash is both teams to score (BTTS).
