In this week 25 match on Mar 11th, Valencia will host Osasuna in a meeting of these two La Liga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 19 degrees, a perfect day for football. Valencia sits at 19th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-1 loss against Barcelona. Raphinha struck first for Barcelona in the 15th minute on a feed from Sergio Busquets, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Valencia couldn’t muster any offence and Barcelona ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 8 of their last 10, while 8th placed Osasuna is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Celta de Vigo. Neither Osasuna nor Celta de Vigo could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 10 and 6 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Osasuna is looking for direction having 2 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
Osasuna and Valencia last played eachother at the Estadio El Sadar on the 7th of October. Valencia won by a score of 2 to 1 in front of just over 20000 dissapointed spectators. Justin Kluivert scored the first goal for Valencia in the 28th minute, then Mouctar Diakhaby added another in the 54th minute.
Osasuna’s top weapon lately has been Abde Ezzalzouli, who has 2 goals in the last 5 matches. Samu Castillejo and Zubeldía are the top scorers for Valencia in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Valencia will be without Gayá, Edinson Cavani, Thierry Correia, Jaume Doménech and Nico González, while Rubén García and Nacho Vidal are unavailable to play for Jagoba Arrasate Elustondo’s team.
