Alaves – Osasuna : Preview & Prediction
Alavés, 16th, flirts dangerously with the relegation zone since Abelardo’s formation is only 1 unit away from the latter and his lead over the red lantern of this Liga is only 3 points. Joselu’s partners (5 goals) have lost 6 of their last 8 games and remain on 2 heavy defeats away from home, in Barcelona (5-1) and on Real Sociedad (4-0). At home, Alavés painfully beat Valladolid (1-0) on February 5, while Atlético Madrid (2-1), Sevilla FC (2-1) and Real Madrid (4-1) came from impose on Mendizorrotza. Osasuna, 13th, will want to at least keep his 3 points ahead of his opponent of the day but hopes to make a performance this weekend. Osasuna lost on this last day against Sevilla FC (0-2) at home but this failure does not call into question the previous victories against Eibar (2-1) and Levante (1-0). While he took points on the grounds of Real Sociedad (1-1) and Valencia (1-1) last month, Osasuna is legitimate to glean points on the lawn of Alavés.
Osasuna has recorded 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 duels, La Liga and Friendlies combined.
Alavés remains on 2 heavy defeats in Barcelona and on the ground of Real Sociedad.
Alavés has won only 1 game in his last 8 outings, including La Liga and Copa del Rey.
Osasuna have won 2 of their last 3 games.
The first leg ended with a points split (1-1) on December 31 in Pamplona while Osasuna played 10 against 11 from the 8th minute of play.
Unbeaten in La Liga against Alavés since November 2016, Osasuna can hope to take points from Mendizorrotza and emulate his victory (1-0) last season.
