Osasuna-Alaves is a match of the 27th day of La Liga and is played on Monday at 9 pm: odds, predictions, live TV and streaming.
Europe is far away, the relegation zone as well. Osasuna and Alaves, currently separated by 4 points, are stationed in mid-table. Eleventh the Navarri, 13th the Basques. A placement that certainly makes the latter happier, whose goal at the beginning of the season was to avert relegation and secure a quiet salvation.
Osasuna, which a year ago finished seventh and earned the chance to play in the Conference League play-offs (later lost to Club Brugge) and sniff the air of Europe, cannot be satisfied. Jagoba Arrasate’s team, however, remains something of a loose cannon and facing, even for the big names themselves, is never a walk in the park. The Rojillos are coming off two wins (Real Sociedad and Cadiz) and a draw (Las Palmas), while their last defeat was a month ago, when Budimir and co. collapsed 3-0 at home to Celta Vigo. There are currently seven points separating them from seventh: an important but at the same time still bridgeable gap. To get back in the race, however, the Pamplona club will have to be more continuous in the final rush.
Alaves is another scrappy team that has barely lost two games in 2024: in the Copa del Rey against Athletic Bilbao and in the league with Barcelona. For the past few weeks Luis Garcia’s men have been contracting “pareggitis,” splitting the stakes with Villarreal, Betis and Mallorca, matches in which the Vitoria club has scored only two goals.
The prediction
A very balanced match looms between two teams that make solidity their main strength. A draw is not to be ruled out
