Osasuna take on the visitors Valencia in the round 31 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, April 15th at Estadio El Sadar (Pamplona).
Osasuna are a solid mid-table team in the current La Liga season. The team never aimed for high positions from the start and is quite far from the danger zone. They are practically playing out the season without any real motivation. Mathematically, Osasuna could still compete for a Champions League spot, but their gap from competitors is quite significant. So, Osasuna plays simply for enjoyment, without pressure, as they can. This leads to inconsistency in their results. Under Jagoba Arrasate's guidance, they might thrash Almeria away (3-0), then lose to Celta at home with the same scoreline. They could beat Real Sociedad (1-0) and then lose to Girona (0-2). They might even end up with a draw, like against Sevilla (1-1) or Las Palmas (1-1).

Los Murciélagos have been much more stable in La Liga lately, especially in comparison to their opponents. Valencia rarely loses nowadays. In the last six league matches, Ruben Baraja's side suffered just one defeat - a narrow loss away to Villarreal (0-1). In the remaining games of this period, they secured victories against Granada (1-0) and Getafe (1-0), as well as draws against Real Madrid (2-2), Sevilla (0-0), and Mallorca (0-0). It's worth noting that Valencia kept clean sheets in four out of their last six league matches and conceded only three goals. Perhaps Los Murciélagos will also aim for a spot in the Champions League zone?
This match will see two evenly matched teams on the field. Such games are usually called three-way matches. I consider it reasonable to cover two of the outcomes with an X2 bet for a good odds. Valencia are not weaker than their opponent and is even higher in the table. Lately, Los Murciélagos rarely lose. In their last meeting at Osasuna's ground, the visitors were even stronger (2-1). My prediction for this match is X2.
Prediction for the match: Valencia not to lose (X2).
