On Thursday evening, Osasuna travels to Valencia as part of La Liga Matchday 19. Valencia hope to increase their lead in the red zone while Osasuna hope to get out.
Finally, Valencia can breathe a little. In great danger for some time, the Che club had fallen in the standings to the point of fearing for its maintenance following its defeats against Sevilla (0-1) and Granada (2-1) and its draw conceded against Cadiz ( 1-1) during the holidays. But during the last day, Kevin Gameiro’s partners finally returned to success in the league by winning against Valladolid (0-1). This victory allowed them to move back to 14th place in the standings with only 2 points ahead of the red zone. Sunday, they beat Alcoron away in the Copa del Rey (0-2).
Opposite, Osasuna is struggling in the standings after a successful first season spent in the top flight last year when the club took 10th place overall. But this year, the Rojillos fail to confirm and find themselves in the red zone, in 19th place, with only 15 points taken in 18 days. Lately, the players of the city of Pamplona, who have not experienced victory since the end of October, shared the points 4 times before losing to Granada (2-0) on the last day.
For Valencia, the titular goalkeeper Cillessen is still forfeited but the returns of the managerial defenders Gaya and Gabriel Paulista and the French striker Gameiro are hoped for this meeting. Against Valladolid, it was midfielder Carlos Soler who allowed his team to win by scoring his 6th goal of the season.
Long-term injured scorer Avila, striker Adrian, substitute goalkeeper Ruben, and midfielder Brasanac are still out of form on Osasuna’s side, joined in the infirmary this week by potentially titular defender Aridane . Midfielder Roberto Torres is still the most prolific player on this team with 4 goals.
The match will be played behind closed doors.
Coaches have the possibility of making 5 substitutions during the game.
Osasuna is clearly in difficulty before this match and Valencia could take the opportunity to win in this part and thus chain a third consecutive success. Valence victory!
