Valencia finally got their first win of the 2024/2025 La Liga season with a 2-0 victory over Girona last weekend, and Los Che will hope that win marks a turning point in their campaign as they welcome Osasuna to the Mestalla for this Matchday 7 encounter on Tuesday.
While last weekend’s victory would provide a morale boost for the hosts, their recent La Liga outings make for bleak reading as Los Che have lost 6 of their last 10 league games, with a porous defence that allowed an average of 1.6 goals per game over that span, the root of their struggles.
Osasuna’s visit could, therefore, be the perfect game to make it back-to-back wins in La Liga for Valencia, given the fact that Los Che have found attacking success against the visitors, scoring in 18 consecutive games against them.
Osasuna, meanwhile, come into this encounter with better form overall, having won four of their last 10 matches. However, those wins have mostly been achieved at home, while their performances on the road have been far less convincing, with heavy losses to Girona and Rayo Vallecano in recent away games.
That will be a major concern as they hit the road again on Tuesday, but with an attack that has averaged 1.6 goals per game this season, Osasuna will be confident of exploiting Valencia’s well-documented defensive vulnerabilities.
Betting Tip: Both Teams to Score (Goal/Goal)
24/09 18:00 Valencia – Osasuna Both Teams to Score @ 2.15 (Betano)
Possession stats for both teams show how evenly matched this game could be. Valencia average 44.8% possession in their matches, closely mirrored by Osasuna at 44.3%. This indicates that neither side is likely to dominate the ball, leading to what could be a balanced and closely contested game.
With both sides lacking the ability to dominate, the focus may turn to how effectively they can convert their chances.
Both sides have shown an ability to score while also being prone to conceding. Valencia have already conceded 10 goals, while Osasuna have a negative goal difference of 6:11 so far this season.
Given that Valencia have scored in 18 consecutive games against Osasuna and the visitors have averaged 1.6 goals this season, we expect both sides to contribute to the scoreline.
Therefore, our recommended betting tip is Both Teams to Score, which at 2.15 odds on Betano, offers excellent value.
