Valencia vs Osasuna prediction, odds and how to watch

Villarreal came from behind to beat Valencia 2-1 at Mestalla in a match that had everything: a penalty, five yellow cards, two red cards, and a stoppage-time winner from Georges Mikautadze. Valencia imploded when they needed composure most.

Osasuna ended a run of four La Liga defeats with a controlled 2-0 home win over Racing Santander, settling the match from the penalty spot inside nine minutes before Asier Osambela wrapped it up late on. Racing offered little in front of goal and had no answer for Osasuna's purpose.

Valencia created five big chances and failed to convert a single one in a goalless draw with Athletic Club, a result that summed up everything wrong with a side that cannot turn desire into points. Athletic Club, organised and disciplined, took what they needed and left.

Valencia have not convinced anyone in five La Liga matches. Osasuna have conceded twelve goals in five. Something has to give on Sunday.

Two struggling sides meet at El Sadar on Sunday evening, with Osasuna desperate to arrest a damning run of form and Málaga yet to taste victory in their last five La Liga matches.

Rayo Vallecano host a Valencia side riddled with injuries and short on wins. Saturday's fixture has the look of a match where desire and basics decide everything.

Valencia have won once in their last five La Liga matches and Villarreal have taken both head-to-head meetings between these sides. Something has to give on Saturday.

Osasuna have conceded 17 goals in their last five La Liga matches and now face an Athletic Club side that has kept three clean sheets in five away games. Something has to give, and the evidence points in one direction.
