Since winning the promotion to La Liga from the Segunda Division, Osasuna has always finished around the middle of the standings. The goal for the season is to finish better than that. The conditions are there, as manager Jagoba Arrasate has a good squad that has proven capable of challenging most teams for points. Among other things, they broke Real Madrid's long streak of consecutive victories in all competitions, by playing a draw most recently at the Santiago Bernabeu. Vinicius Junior netted first but Kike Garcia equalized to make the final score 1-1. The defence has been the big key, with only 6 goals conceded in 7 rounds. However, the attacking game has not been more than okay, with 8 goals ahead in the meantime. Valencia has also started well, picking up a couple of wins at the Mestalla. Beating Celta Vigo 3-0 was an impressive result. Most recently it was a shared pot against Espanyol on the road. Great, as the away game has otherwise been weak, with losses against Athletic Bilbao and Rayo Vallecano. Manager Gennaro Gattuso has a couple of stars in the squad, which could be enough for a new middle place in the table. But it is hard to see them being a contender for a place in Europe. The fact that goalkeeper Jaume Domenech is long-term injured does not seem to be an interruption as Giorgi Mamardashvili has been the safety himself. Osasuna will play today without David Lopez, a very important player in defence who will be a big blow for the home side. Against Osasuna, Valencia has played a couple of crazy games. Although this meeting should be even, odds are too big on Valencia, therefore bet falls on them not to lose this game.

My prediction;

Outcome: Valencia +0

自从从乙级联赛升入西甲后，奥萨苏纳一直排在积分榜的中游。本赛季的目标是取得比这更好的成绩。条件已经具备了，主教练贾戈巴·阿拉萨特有一支优秀的球队，已经证明他们有能力挑战大多数球队的积分。除此之外，他们最近在圣地亚哥·伯纳乌踢了一场平局，打破了皇马在各项赛事上的长期连胜纪录。小维尼修斯率先破门，但基克·加西亚扳平比分，最终比分为1-1。防守是关键，7轮比赛只丢了6球。然而，进攻方面的比赛表现并不好，在此期间领先8球。瓦伦西亚的开局也不错，在梅斯塔利亚取得了几场胜利。3-0击败维戈塞尔塔是一个令人印象深刻的结果。最近的一次是在客场与西班牙人队的比赛中分享奖金。很好，因为客场比赛很弱，输给了毕尔巴鄂竞技和巴列卡诺。主教练加图索的阵容中有几名球星，这足以在积分榜上占据一个新的中间位置。但很难看到他们成为欧洲的竞争者。门将多梅内克长期受伤似乎并没有影响到比赛，因为马玛达什维利一直是球队的安全保障。奥萨苏纳今天的比赛将没有大卫·洛佩斯，他是一名非常重要的防守球员，他将是主队的一大打击。对阵奥萨苏纳，瓦伦西亚踢了几场疯狂的比赛。虽然这场比赛应该是平分，但瓦伦西亚的赔率太大了，因此打赌他们不会输掉这场比赛。
