La Liga
The two Spanish teams have played each other ten times since 2021. The results were fairly balanced, with each side picking up four wins, while three matches ended in a draw. Three of Valencia’s victories were on this ground, which will motivate the away fans ahead of this weekend’s game. The average number of goals per game during this period was 2.8.
Osasuna team overview
Osasuna ended the 2024–25 La Liga season on a high, avoiding defeat in four matches, with victories against Sevilla and Atlético Madrid.
Los Rojillos could not maintain that form during the pre-season, picking up just one win from five friendlies, but they were much better during their first match of the new campaign last weekend at the Bernabéu.
Alessio Lisci’s side conceded only one goal against Kylian Mbappé and co., with the only goal of the match being a penalty. Los Rojillos will be looking to secure their first win of the season this weekend and will be hugely motivated by the fact that they won each of their last four home league matches.
Abel Bretones is suspended for Sunday’s clash with Valencia after receiving a red card against Real Madrid last time out.

Valencia team overview
Meanwhile, Valencia had a disappointing end to last season, failing to win any of their final three games, with two defeats and one draw and this poor run of form continued during pre-season. Los Ches managed just one win in five friendlies, with two defeats and two draws, and failed to score in two of those matches.
However, Carlos Corberán’s side put in a much better performance last weekend in their opening game of the 2025–26 La Liga season, holding Real Sociedad to a 1–1 draw. Having avoided defeat in seven of their last eight away games, Los Ches will be feeling confident about this weekend's match.

Prediction
Heading into this game on the back of a four-match home winning streak, Osasuna have what it takes to walk away with all three points, and I fancy them to beat Valencia. The hosts have conceded under one goal in each of their last five competitive matches, all of which ended with under two goals and given that each of their last three home games also ended with under three goals, I'm backing the under 2.5 goals option.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Osasuna kept a clean sheet in each of their last three home games.
- None of the last five competitive games of Osasuna ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Bets on under 2.5 goals won in five of the last six competitive games of Valencia.
Main prediction Osasuna - Valencia
Under 2.5 goals
