Latest football commentary on Osasuna vs Valencia
Osasuna finished ninth in La Liga last season with 52 points, just behind Rayo Vallecano in the race for a place in the Conference League play-offs.
This season, Los Rojillos continue to aim to compete for European football, and they can take many positives from their opening-round performance, when they only lost narrowly to Real Madrid.
Osasuna were relatively quiet in the summer transfer window, bringing in just two new players: Victor Munoz from Real Madrid Castilla and Valentin Rosier on a free transfer from Leganes. In the opposite direction, Jesus Areso left to join Athletic Bilbao, along with four players whose contracts expired, but most of the team's mainstays remained.
The team is currently managed by Alessio Lisci – the 39-year-old arrived at the end of June after spells at Levante and Mirandes. Fans are waiting to see how he will make his mark at El Sadar.
Meanwhile, Valencia started La Liga 2025-26 with a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad. Diego Lopez opened the scoring for Los Che before Takefusa Kubo equalised.
Under Carlos Corberan, Valencia finished 12th last season, six points off the European places. With their current squad, they are capable of competing for a Europa or Conference League spot, although qualifying for the 2026-27 Champions League is out of reach.
Los Che have won the Spanish league six times and finished fourth in 2018-19. They have been quite active this summer, signing Julen Agirrezabala, Arnaut Danjuma and Dani Raba. In the opposite direction, Cristhian Mosquera moved to Arsenal, while Yarek Gasiorowski and Fran Perez also left the club.
