Latest football match prediction: Osasuna vs Valencia
Osasuna finished 9th in La Liga last season with 52 points, just behind Rayo Vallecano in the race for a Conference League play-off spot.
This season, Los Rojillos continue to aim for a European cup spot, and they can take many positive things from their opening round performance, where they only narrowly lost to Real Madrid.
Osasuna had a relatively quiet summer transfer window, bringing in only two new players: Victor Munoz from Real Madrid Castilla and Valentin Rosier on a free transfer from Leganes. Conversely, Jesus Areso left to join Athletic Bilbao, along with four players whose contracts expired, but most of the team's key players were retained.
The team is currently led by Alessio Lisci – the 39-year-old coach arrived at the end of June after stints at Levante and Mirandes. Fans are waiting to see what kind of mark he will make at El Sadar.
Meanwhile, Valencia started the 2025-26 La Liga season with a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad. Diego Lopez scored the opening goal for Los Che before Takefusa Kubo equalized.
Under Carlos Corberan's leadership, Valencia finished 12th last season, six points behind the European qualification spots. With their current squad, they are capable of competing for a Europa League or Conference League spot, although qualifying for the Champions League in the 2026-27 season is an unrealistic goal.
Los Che have won the Spanish league six times and finished fourth in the 2018-19 season. This summer, they have been quite active with signings such as Julen Agirrezabala, Arnaut Danjuma, and Dani Raba. Conversely, Cristhian Mosquera moved to Arsenal, while Yarek Gasiorowski and Fran Perez also left the club.
