The final match in this round of La Liga fixtures will take place on Monday evening, as Osasuna host Alaves. Both teams come into the round after going on unbeaten sequences, but which side will claim victory in the Spanish top flight?
La Liga Preview
There is little to separate Osasuna and Alaves in the standings, with just four points and a place dividing the teams at this stage of the campaign. Osasuna sit a place higher than their rivals in the table, and they should bring confidence into this round of matches after winning two of their last three, and avoiding defeat in all fixtures over that period.
Osasuna remain a key player in the race for a European finish in the Spanish division this term, and they could rise up to eighth with a win on Monday. However, they will be looking to get back to winning ways on Monday after playing out a 1-1 draw against Las Palmas last Sunday. Their only goal in that tie was netted by Unai Garcia early in the second half.
Alaves also come into this round of matches in steady recent form after avoiding defeat in each of their last three matches. However, they are without a win over that period after playing out three successive draws. The Spanish side could move to within a point of their rivals with a victory in the competition on Monday.
In the latest round of matches, Alaves played out a 1-1 draw with Mallorca. They took a deserved lead with 15 minutes remaining in that fixture, but their rivals hit back with just two minutes remaining of the 90.
Osasuna vs Alaves Head to Head
Osasuna boast a very dominant record in this fixture after winning each of their last four against their rivals without conceding. Meanwhile, Alaves are without a win against Osasuna in eight competitive matches since a 1-0 away win in November 2016.
Osasuna vs Alaves Prediction
Both Alaves and Osasuna bring consistent form into this La Liga showdown on Monday, with both having avoided defeat in their recent fixtures. However, we find it challenging to overlook Osasuna’s excellent record against their rivals. Therefore, we will be siding with the home team landing maximum points this week.
