In that match, Alaves had 50% possession and 14 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer for Alaves was Kike García (18'). For their opponents, Real Valladolid got 7 shots at goal with 1 of them on target.

Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that quality has been evident in the Alaves defence. Alaves have kept it tight, with the number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their past 6 matches standing at 2.

Osasuna

WWLDWW

Osasuna will go into this meeting after a 2-0 La Liga win vs Espanyol in their last game.

In that match, Osasuna managed 46% possession and 16 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. For Osasuna, goals were scored by Ante Budimir (17') and Raul García (91'). At the other end, Espanyol had 16 shots on goal with 6 of them on target.

Over the course of their last half-dozen clashes, Osasuna have bagged a tally of 11 goals. Osasuna have also not failed to score in every single one of those games. During that period, they have had 7 goals scored by their opponents. That aside, we must now wait to see whether that pattern might be maintained here in this match.

Leading up to this clash, Osasuna:

• have not been beaten by Alaves when having played them away from home in the previous 5 league games. A very good run of results for them.
• are without an away win for the past 2 matches in the league.

A sum of 11 goals were produced between them in this period, with 2 from Babazorros and 9 belonging to Los Rojillos. That’s an average goals per game figure of 1.83.

The last league contest featuring these sides was La Liga match day 16 on 08/12/2024 which ended up with the score at Osasuna 2-2 Alaves.

📰 Team News: Alaves

We think that Babazorros may well kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, handing starts to Antonio Sivera, Facundo Garces, Aleksandar Sedlar, Santiago Mourino, Manuel Sanchez, Carlos Protesoni, Joan Jordan, Carlos Vicente, Jon Guridi, Carlos Martin and Kike Garcia.

🗞️ Team News: Osasuna

We believe Los Rojillos might play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Sergio Herrera, Jesus Areso, Alejandro Catena, Flavien Boyomo, Juan Cruz, Lucas Torro, Jon Moncayola, Ruben Garcia, Aimar Oroz, Bryan Zaragoza and Ante Budimir.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Alaves will have to perform well to put one past this Osasuna lineup who we reckon will manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We therefore see a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 advantage for Osasuna when the full-time whistle blows.

We’ll see what happens.
