Valencia vs Osasuna prediction: Hosts to score twice in victory
Key stats
- Our Valencia vs Osasuna betting tips take into account that all of the points for Vicente Moreno’s team so far in La Liga 2024/25 have come at home.
- All four of Valencia’s points have come at Mestalla.
- Osasuna have conceded seven goals in their two away games so far this season, scoring just once.
Correct score prediction: Valencia 2-0 Osasuna
While Osasuna have been solid at home, they’ve been really poor in their two away fixtures since the change in coach. Valencia picked up a crucial win over Girona on Saturday to lift spirits in their camp and they should take momentum into this as a result.
They may be too strong for what looks a slightly unconvincing Osasuna defence, following the departure of key centre back David Garcia.
