Alaves vs Osasuna: a powder-keg clash at Mendizorrotza 
Alaves are up against Osasuna. The home side is fighting tooth and nail to stay in the top flight. The visitors have their eyes on Europe. The table splits 16th from 10th, and Osasuna are four points off sixth. The stakes are huge now. Every point matters, and the run-in could hinge on this one.
Alaves’ stunning result
Quique Sanchez Flores is in charge of the Basque side. His team just turned over Celta Vigo in a mad seven-goal thriller, winning 4-3 after trailing by three at the break. At home, they’ve shown some bite, with only four defeats on their record this year. But the head-to-head? Brutal. They last beat Osasuna at home in October 2015. Since then, nothing. Not a thing.
Osasuna’s push for Europe under Alessio Lisci 
Osasuna come in off the back of a win over Girona last time out. Ante Budimir landed the winner deep into the closing stages. Away from home, though, the numbers are ugly. They’ve lost 10 of their last 15 trips. Even so, history is firmly on their side overall. Spanish football’s records show 27 away wins in 50 meetings between these two.
Probable line-ups
Alaves : Sivera ; Jonny, Tenaglia, Pacheco, Parada ; Perez, Guridi, Blanco, Rebbach ; Martinez, Boye
Osasuna : Herrera ; Rosier, Boyomo, Catena, Galan ; Munoz, Moncayola ; Ruben Garcia, Oroz, V Munoz ; Budimir
Football prediction Alaves vs Osasuna
Over 2.5 goals in the match
Osasuna’s attack should feast on Alaves’ huge defensive gaps whenever the game opens up. The visitors have also been shipping goals for fun away from home this season.
Alaves just showed they can score in bunches in their last outing. And with survival on the line, they’ll have to come out and have a go.
Osasuna’s firepower and Alaves’ recent defensive madness point to a lively one. Goals look likely. Plenty of them.

First, a word on our picks
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. It’s an opinion, a read on the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal from nowhere… and the whole script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks nailed on, it isn’t. And yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable sooner or later.
- The smart move is to keep it sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live. And whatever you do, don’t chase losses — that usually ends badly.
- Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking up too much of your day, winds you up, or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if you need to, speak to a specialist support service. That’s what it’s there for.
- In the end, it’s on you. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists, and it never goes away, no matter how good the analysis is.
- Important reminder: betting is forbidden for minors and must follow the law in your country. Gambling can spiral fast, leading to money problems, family stress and addiction. Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our picks are not a contract. They carry no legal weight. Plain and simple: you can’t use them to demand anything if a bet loses.
Information changes
A prediction is always based on what we know when it’s written. But line-ups change, players get injured, the weather turns, and the analysis can be out of date fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your responsibility
Before you bet, check that betting is legal where you are. If it isn’t, that’s on you, not us.
Responsible gambling first
We can’t say it often enough: gamble in moderation. If you’re struggling to keep control, get help sooner rather than later. We can’t be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the information on the site.
