Osasuna vs Valencia predictions for this La Liga clash on Sunday at El Sadar. Osasuna and Valencia face each other this week, and the two teams are in very similar form; the match is expected to be very close, but will either of them be able to take the three points? Read on for our free 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.

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.
