Osasuna vs Real Valladolid Prediction, Stats, H2H, Odds & Betting tips

Osasuna will welcome Real Valladolid to Estadio El Sadar for what promises to be an exciting La Liga clash on Matchday 12. Following a resilient 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad, Los Rojillos enter this match with renewed confidence and will look to build on their strong performance in San Sebastian. Bryan Zaragoza shone in that outing, providing two key assists, and he will likely play a pivotal role once again. However, Osasuna will be without midfielder Ruben Garcia, who remains sidelined with an injury.

Real Valladolid, on the other hand, has struggled in recent matches, most recently suffering a 2-1 defeat to Villarreal. Having lost four of their last five La Liga games, they will aim to turn their form around, but the challenge will be formidable against an in-form Osasuna side. With key midfielder Cesar De La Hoz out due to a back injury and defender Cenk Ozkacar, a fitness concern, Valladolid will need to dig deep to find a result on the road.

Prediction: Osasuna vs Real Valladolid

Given their recent form and home advantage, Osasuna enter this match as slight favorites. After an impressive victory over Real Sociedad, they appear motivated and in good form, especially with Bryan Zaragoza Martínez playing a crucial role in creating chances. Valladolid, on the other hand, are struggling, having lost four of their last five La Liga matches, and their defense has shown vulnerabilities, particularly in the second half of games.

Osasuna’s solid performances at Estadio El Sadar this season suggest they are well-positioned to secure a victory, especially if they can capitalize on Valladolid’s tendency to concede in the 45-60 minute mark. However, Valladolid may still pose a threat through Mamadou Sylla, meaning the visitors could potentially find the net, making a low-scoring game with a possible Osasuna win by a narrow margin a likely outcome.
