Osasuna
- Osasuna have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches (all competitions).
- Osasuna have been moving towards a more structured and patient style under Alessio Lisci, who has been in charge since July 2025.
- Osasuna’s home performance has been inconsistent with one win and one defeat in their last two at El Sadar.
Deportivo Alaves
- Alaves are 12th in LaLiga 2025/2026 with 18 points from 16 games, three points ahead of 16th-placed Osasuna.
- Alaves have split their last two road games with a win and a defeat.
- But the hosts are probably the more likely winners given Alaves’ poor away record and the fact that they have won just one of their 7 recent away LaLiga games.
Head-to-Head
The visitors’ last three games against Osasuna have produced one win and two draws, with the Pamplona club failing to win either of the two home match-ups.
Key Players
- Notable players:
- Ante Budimir has been their best finisher so far with four in 15 LaLiga appearances.
- Raul Garcia has chipped in with three in their last five games.
- Carlos Vicente is Alaves’ top scorer with four in 16 in LaLiga and he has scored two in their last five.
Betting Insights
- Osasuna are 2.39 favourites for this game, which seems about right with Alaves available at 3.61.
- The odds of 1.68 for both teams to score look tempting here given Alaves’ set-piece threat and quick counter-attacks could disrupt Osasuna, who will try to be patient and pick Alaves off.
Prediction
- Saturday’s LaLiga 2025-2026 contest between Osasuna and Deportivo Alaves pits a calm, controlled, possession-based game against an all-action, pressing and counter-attacking approach.
- We are taking Carlos Vicente to score anytime.
