Headline: Osasuna Look to Break Winless Streak Against Bottom-Dwelling Levante
Pamplona, Spain – Osasuna will host Levante on Monday at Estadio El Sadar, with both teams desperate to end their recent struggles in La Liga. Osasuna, currently 17th in the league table, will be aiming to capitalize on home advantage against a Levante side languishing at the bottom of the standings.
Osasuna, winless in their last six league matches, salvaged a 2-2 draw against Mallorca in their previous outing, thanks to late goals from Raúl García and Flavien Enzo Boyomo. They did manage a confidence-boosting 5-3 victory against fifth-tier Ebro in the Copa del Rey last week.
Levante are in even direr straits, also winless in their last six league games, with five of those ending in defeat. They suffered a 2-0 loss at home to Athletic Bilbao in their last league fixture. They did secure a narrow 1-0 victory against Cieza in the Copa del Rey.
Osasuna boasts a recent unbeaten record against Levante in their last three meetings and has home advantage. However, the Gorritxoak have lost their last two La Liga home games, conceding three goals in each.
Osasuna will be without Iker Benito and Valentín Rosier due to injury, while Kike Barja faces a late fitness test. Levante will miss Adrián de la Fuente and Matías Moreno, with Carlos Espí and Pablo Martínez also doubtful. Kervin Arriaga and Unai Elgezabal are back in training and could feature.
Despite their recent struggles, statistics show 10 of Levante’s 16 league goals this season have been scored away from home, suggesting they pose a threat on the counter.
Analysts predict a narrow 2-1 victory for Osasuna, forecasting an exciting match with over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net. They also predict a goal will be scored in the second half.
With both teams hungry for points, Monday’s clash promises to be a crucial encounter in the fight to avoid relegation.
