Competition: La Liga
Market: Osasuna win
Odds: 2/3 @ Pribet
Hoping to skyrocket their way into the European spots, Osasuna will welcome Real Valladolid to El Sadar on Saturday lunchtime.
Starting with the hosts, just falling short in the race to punch a top-half finish last season, Osasuna have once again come flying out of the traps this time around. Continuing on what has become quite the purple patch, Vincente Moreno’s men are now dreaming of the chance to mount a serious European charge. Putting in a hugely impressive performance last weekend as they clinched an impressive 2-0 victory away at Real Sociedad, Los Rojillos will be smelling the chance to lay down another marker on Saturday lunchtime. In fact, the former Almeria boss has seen his squad suffer just a single defeat from any of their previous six La Liga appearances. Signing off September with what was a famous upset as they clinched an action-packed 4-2 win against runaway leaders Barcelona, Osasuna find the mood in their camp at a real high. Looking to find a route into the top-six this weekend, Moreno’s men will be excited by a return to El Sadar here.
As for the visitors, although Real Valladolid might have marked their return from October’s international break with an action-packed 3-2 victory against Alaves, the Pucelle came crashing back down to earth last weekend. Eventually falling to a 2-1 loss at home against Villarreal, Paulo Pezzolano’s side find themselves at the heart of a real struggle. Heading into October’s fortnight interval with another 2-1 loss at home against Rayo Vallecano, Saturday’s guests open this weekend’s fixtures sat in the relegation zone. In fact, the former Cruzeiro boss has seen his squad muster just a single victory from any of their previous 10 La Liga appearances. Tipped as a leading relegation contender this season, Valladolid have also lost four of their last five showdowns against top-flight opposition. It should also be noted, falling to a routine 2-0 defeat when they last travelled to El Sadar back in October 2020, we are expecting a similar outcome here.
