Osasuna vs Valencia: Predictions and Betting Tips

Osasuna

After one win, and two draws, Osasuna are looking for their first victory of the season in front of their home fans. A lack of goals continues to be a problem for Osasuna, just as it was last season. So far this season, they have scored three goals in three games.

Despite finishing in tenth place last season, Osasuna only scored 37 goals in 38 games, an average of less than one goal per game. This indicates that they have a strong defence.

Valencia

The arrival of José Bordalás on the Valencia bench has instigated an incredible improvement in the Valencia team’s play, a feat more impressive given their very limited squad. Valencia are currently joint top of La Liga after two wins and a draw.

Last season, Valencia conceded 53 goals in 38 games – a significant number. However, José Bordalás’ well-known focus on defensive play is already bearing fruit this season.

Valencia have not done badly against Osasuna in recent years, having lost only twice out of the last ten meetings.

Key Stats:

• One win, three draws, and one defeat for Osasuna in their last five games
• Four consecutive matches without losing for Osasuna
• Three wins, one draw and one defeat for Valencia in their last five games
• Valencia have only conceded three goals in their last five games

Osasuna vs Valencia Predictions 

This looks to be a very tight match between two teams who are in good form. Osasuna is a very difficult team to beat at home, although they do sometimes struggle to win their games. Meanwhile, Valencia are having a great start to the season, but they tend to play more defensively in away games. Overall, it is hard to choose between the two, and, in fact, a draw seems a likely result.
