Osasuna, who finished ninth last season, has focused on keeping their core players while making strategic additions to enhance their competitiveness.
The season has started unevenly for Osasuna, as they have gathered three points after three matches. They secured a narrow home victory against Valencia but faced losses in away games against Real Madrid and Espanyol.
Despite the defeats, Osasuna has shown a strong defensive approach and created scoring opportunities, although luck has not favored them. Playing at home may give them the advantage they need.
Rayo Vallecano finished eighth last season and qualified for the Conference League. They have already played two extra matches this season, winning against Belarusian team Neman with an aggregate score of 5-0 in the European playoffs.
Rayo started their league campaign on a solid note, winning 3-1 away at Girona, followed by a draw against Athletic (1-1), and a noteworthy draw against Barcelona. They aim to maintain possession and create multiple attacking chances.
Osasuna: Herrera, Rosier, Boyomo, Catena, Cruz, Gomez, Torro, Oroz, Moncayola, Muñoz, Budimir
Rayo Vallecano: Batalla, Ratiu, Felipe, Lejeune, Chavarría, De Frutos, Lopez, Ciss, Garcia, Palazón, Diaz
This match is expected to be competitive and closely contested. Both teams seem to struggle with converting chances but are solid defensively. My prediction for this match: under 2.5 goals at 1.6
