Valencia and Osasuna get the ball rolling in round seven of LaLiga when they lock horns at the Mestalla Stadium on Tuesday. Vicente Moreno’s Osasuna have lost their two away games this season and will head into the midweek clash looking to end this dry spell.
Valencia turned in an impressive team display on Saturday, when they picked up a 2-0 victory over Girona at home. This was a much-needed result for Ruben Baraja’s side, who had failed to taste victory in their opening five games, claiming one point from the first 15 available.
Valencia will now head into Tuesday’s clash looking to secure consecutive LaLiga wins for the first time since April, when they edged out Granada and Osasuna respectively.
Osasuna, on the other hand, made it three home wins on the bounce on Saturday, when they edged out Las Palmas 2-1 at the El Sadar Stadium. While Moreno’s side are unbeaten in their opening four home games this season — claiming one draw and three wins — they have lost their two away matches so far, suffering defeats against Girona and Rayo Vallecano, respectively, conceding seven goals in them and scoring just one.
Osasuna have picked up 10 points from their six matches this term to sit seventh in the table while Tuesday’s hosts occupy 19th place with just four points from the first 18 available.
