Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Osasuna will be aiming to climb to the Conference League berth when they take on Deportivo Alaves on day 16 of the new La Liga campaign. Los Rojillos failed to win the previous three league games, but they surely capable of matching the Basques at their Estadio El Sadar. The bad news for the hosts is that important winger Bryan Zaragoza will be out for three months with a metatarsal fracture.
Alaves, on the other hand, head into Sunday’s clash following a 1-1 draw with Leganes. As the visitors are eager to put an end to their three-game winless run as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Forward Hugo Novoa misses out with a hernia problem for the visitors, while Stoichkov is pushing for a recall to the starting XI. Kike Garcia is widely expected to lead the line for the Basque outfit.
Highlighted Team (Osasuna):
Osasuna are a Basque football team that plays in Spanish La Liga. Los Rojillos are based in Pamplona and and the club were founded in 1920. Estadio El Sadar has been the home of Osasuna since 1967 and the capacity of the stadium is 19,800.
The colour of Osasuna’s home kit is red, while the team’s shorts are navy blue. Los Rojillos dropped to the Segunda Division at the end of the 2013/2014 La Liga campaign, but they did not spend too many time in the Spanish second tier. The club returned to the elite division in 2016 after beating Girona in the play-offs.
Osasuna made it to the Spanish Copa del Rey final in 2005, but they eventually lost to Real Betis after extra time in the title game. The meaning of the word Osasuna is “health” in Basque and it is used in a sense of strength.
