Valencia – Osasuna : Preview & Prediction
On Saturday afternoon, Valencia and Osasuna meet for the 32nd round of matches. The only objective for both teams is to finish the season ahead of their opponents. Jose Bordalas’ men are on a very good run of form with seven consecutive games without a single defeat for four wins and three draws. Having qualified for the final of the Copa Del Rey, the Valencians are looking to finish the season on a high note and will be hoping to win this weekend as they did in the first leg, when Hugo Duro’s team won 4-1. With three clean-sheets at home since the beginning of February, the Ches will be relying on this defensive solidity to wipe out any offence and leave with a positive result!
Osasuna have been in a slump for over a month now and have now lost three consecutive away games, conceding nine goals. However, Jagoba Arrasate’s side are back on track with a win at home to Alavés and would like to get six points from two games for the first time in 2022. To do so, Kike and his team will need to match their home form and be uncompromising defensively, something they have not been able to do on the road. The Pamplona-based club have not won at home since 2013 and are not favourites for this match.
Valencia have scored 12 more goals than their opponents in La Liga.
Valencia will be able to rely on their Guedes / Soler duo to make the difference: 21 goals between them.
Valencia have scored 7 goals against Osasuna in their last 2 meetings.
Osasuna have scored just one goal in their last 3 away games.
Osasuna have conceded an average of 3 away goals since the end of February.
The form of the two teams is very different, especially as Osasuna’s results away from home are not reassuring. Valencia are difficult to beat at home and we don’t see them losing on Saturday. As another prediction, we can recommend Soler or Guedes as goal scorers!
