Bookmaker ratings: Prediction one: Home Win – 2.00
Bookmaker ratings: Prediction two: Under 2.5 Total match goals – 1.62
Osasuna have been one of the surprises of the season, the Navarrese team have started very strong, especially at home, where they have two wins in two games. For all these reasons, we see them as favourites to win this match.
Osasuna are a team that don’t usually win by a big margin, but they don’t need to either, as they are a team that defend very well and it is difficult to create danger against them, so we think it will be a low-scoring game.

Draw: 11
Osasuna:
Osasuna have started the season very well, with two home wins in two games and one away defeat, against Betis. In those three games, they have not conceded a single goal between the 45th minute and the end of the game, which shows that they are a team that stand firm defensively in the key minutes of matches.
The return to the starting line-up of Chimy Avila after several very serious injuries has been very important for Osasuna, as they have recovered what is probably their best player.
Rayo Vallecano:
The team from Madrid arrive with some doubts after an unexpected defeat in their last match, against Mallorca, in which they lost 0-2, in a match in which they were more favourites. Beyond that, Rayo have made a very good start to the season.
In Rayo, the start of the season of players like Isi Palazón and Pathe Cisse stands out, two midfield players who provide goals and attacking ability in the opponent’s area.
