Monday 004 La Liga Osasuna vs Alaves
Osasuna established themselves in La Liga last season in seventh place, but they face a tougher challenge this season. After 26 rounds of fierce battles, they have accumulated 33 points and are temporarily in 11th place in the standings. Despite the drop in the rankings, the team's recent performances have been impressive. With a record of 2 wins and 1 draw in their last 3 league matches, a whopping 67% win rate, it is worth mentioning that the quality of the opponents Osasuna have faced in these 3 games should not be underestimated. Among them, they won 1-0 away at Real Sociedad, a strong upper side Real Sociedad, and the victory certainly added more confidence and morale to the team.
The team's head coach is 45-year-old homegrown coach Alassat, who has led the team to great results since taking over in the summer of 2018. In his coaching career, he has played against Alaves 10 times, with six wins, one draw and three defeats, which is a testament to his familiarity and knowledge of the team.
Alaves, the promoted side that has risen to prominence in La Liga this season, have not performed as well as they could have been, despite being 12th in the standing position with 29 points. A closer look at the fixtures reveals a worrying phenomenon: only two of the seven games Alaves have won in the league this season have been on the road, which undoubtedly reveals their shortcomings when playing on the road. Despite the slight weakness in the overall performance, there was no shortage of bright spots in the Alaves team. Striker Samue Samuel is one of them, who has scored nine goals in the league this season and is the team's top scorer, contributing a steady stream of firepower to the team.
In their most recent league game, Alaves drew 1-1 at home to mid-table Mallorca and are unbeaten in three consecutive league games, showing the team's recent solid form. Defensively, Alaves have also made a difference. They have kept two consecutive away clean sheets in the league, a testament to the team's recent defensive solidity on the road.
In the last ten meetings in all competitions, Osasuna has shown an excellent record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses against their opponents, with a winning rate of 60%, occupying a clear advantage in the history of the confrontation. Osasuna are at home in this tournament, which is undoubtedly a huge advantage for them. However, from the data given, the home team was only conceded 025, that level of support doesn't seem to be enough to reflect Osasuna's strong position at home. Overall, the institutional support for Osasuna's home stadium is clearly insufficient, and the two sides are likely to end in a draw, and Alaves is expected to return unbeaten in this visit.
