Alaves vs Osasuna Prediction | Tight La Liga Odds & Lineups

Match Preview

Alaves and Osasuna enter this La Liga fixture unbeaten after three matches, both on seven points and within a point of each other near the top five. Alaves sit fourth, benefiting from a strong home record at Mendizorrotza, where they have taken two wins and a draw so far this season. Their defense has been particularly impressive, conceding just one league goal overall, backed by four clean sheets in their last five games across competitions.

Osasuna mirror Alaves’ defensive solidity, also conceding only once in La Liga to date. They have matched the hosts’ early form with two wins and a draw but face uncertainty over Jorge Herrando and Aimar Oroz’s fitness after recent knocks. Alaves will miss forward Toni Martínez, which could blunt their attacking edge, though their nine goals in five matches highlight decent offensive output.

The narrow gap in league positions and similar defensive records suggest a tight contest. Osasuna’s away performances have been solid but less prolific than Alaves’ home scoring rate. The slight edge goes to Alaves thanks to home advantage and a more consistent attacking rhythm, despite Martínez’s absence. Expect a low-scoring, closely fought game with a marginal lean toward the hosts.

Team Form

Alaves have been on a three-match winning streak recently, emphasizing their attacking potency and defensive resilience. Their ability to keep clean sheets while scoring regularly at home is notable.

Osasuna’s form is solid but slightly less consistent in scoring, with two draws in their last five and a small uptick in goals conceded compared to Alaves. Injury doubts over Herrando and Oroz may affect their defensive stability.
