Real Valladolid

DLLLLL 🔻

Real Valladolid will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 4-2 La Liga losing effort in their last game against Atlético Madrid.

In that match, Real Valladolid had 46% possession and 6 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. For Real Valladolid, the goals were scored by Mamadou Sylla (21') and Javi Sánchez (56'). Atletico Madrid got 24 attempts on goal with 9 of them on target. Julián Alvarez (25', 71'), Giuliano Simeone (27') and Alexander Sørloth (79') scored for Atlético Madrid.

It’s been all too rare in recent times that Real Valladolid have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Real Valladolid have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, shipping 14 goals in the process.

Pre-game facts show that Real Valladolid:

• have not emerged victorious against Osasuna in their previous 4 league matches.
• haven’t won at home in the past 5 league games. Fans are getting restless.

Osasuna

DLLDDW

Osasuna will go into the encounter following on from a 2-1 La Liga win with the defeat of Girona FC in their previous match.

In that match, Osasuna managed 32% possession and 13 shots at goal with 6 on target. For Osasuna, the scorers were Ante Budimir (38') and Pablo Ibáñez (79'). At the other end, Girona had 18 attempts on goal with 8 on target. Yaser Asprilla (96') was the scorer for Girona FC.

Looking at their form, and Osasuna have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 10 goals overall. In defence, Osasuna could really do with shoring things up. We will see if that trend can be continued on in this game.

Taking a look at their past results, Osasuna:

• have not emerged victorious against Real Valladolid when they've played them away from home in the last 4 matches in the league. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• are unbeaten in their last 2 league matches away from home.
• are without an away win for the past 10 matches in the league. It's not a good run at all.

ℹ️ Team News: Real Valladolid

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Real Valladolid gaffer Álvaro Rubio to be concerned about due to a largely intact set of players. Karl Hein (Shoulder injury) won’t play.

In all likelihood, Pucela could employ a 4-1-4-1 formation for this one, utilising Andre Ferreira, Antonio Candela, Joseph Aidoo, Javi Sanchez, Henrique Silva, Stanko Juric, Anuar, Selim Amallah, Florian Grillitsch, Raul Moro and Mamadou Sylla.

🗞️ Team News: Osasuna

From a largely available group, there’s just the one fitness issue for the Osasuna manager Vicente Moreno to be concerned with. Bryan Zaragoza (Muscle injury) won’t be playing here.

We believe Los Rojillos seem likely to make use of a 5-3-2 system, settling for Sergio Herrera, Flavien Boyomo, Alejandro Catena, Jorge Herrando, Jesus Areso, Abel Bretones, Jon Moncayola, Lucas Torro, Aimar Oroz, Ruben Garcia and Ante Budimir.

💡 Prediction

We’re thinking that Real Valladolid have the firepower to find the back of the net against this Osasuna side, although one goal is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.

We’re therefore tipping a narrow 1-2 winning score for Osasuna after 90 minutes. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
