Levante vs Osasuna – Free football prediction and picks – La Liga – May 8, 2026

Levante – Osasuna: a brutal scrap to stay up

The Estadi Ciutat de Valencia is the stage on Friday night for a massive one. The home side are literally playing for their top-flight lives. Osasuna arrive hoping to keep themselves in the race for Europe. The points table will set the tone from the first whistle.

Levante’s desperate fight

A return to the top table has proved especially tough for the reigning second-division champions. Their recent hammering by Villarreal has slammed the brakes on any local optimism. Survival is still possible, though. Seven points from their last four games show there is still some fight in this side. They sit four points above the drop zone. Their home record is a real worry for anyone connected with the club. Just 20 points collected on their own patch is the second-worst total in the league. The head-to-head record also leans against them against Osasuna.

Osasuna‘s European hopes

The collapse in Barcelona is still fresh in the memory. They folded in the dying seconds of the match. Tenth place keeps a slim hope of continental football alive. Alessio Lisci’s team are five points off sixth. Their success depends almost entirely on their stubborn home fortress. Away from home, the numbers are laughable. Only two wins from 17 trips this season. This squad also carries a clear psychological edge. The first leg ended in a commanding Osasuna win.

Likely line-ups

Levante : Ryan ; Toljan, Moreno, Matturro, Varela ; Raghouber ; Losada, Martinez, Olasgasti, Romero ; Espi

Osasuna : Herrera ; Rosier, Catena, Boyomo, Galan ; Torro, Moncayola ; Raul Garcia, Gomez, Moro ; Budimir

Let’s do it

Football prediction Levante vs Osasuna

Levante win

The need to win should drag the hosts over the line in front of their own fans. The visitors’ dreadful away form makes the home job easier.

The early intensity should unsettle an opposition back line that has looked flimsy on the road. The scoreboard should back up a much-needed home victory by full time.

A quick word on our picks

• What we publish on mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We share an opinion, a read on the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal out of nowhere… and the script changes completely.
• Let’s be clear: there is no bet without risk. Even when something looks obvious, it really isn’t. And yes, that means you can lose. In fact, you will at some point.
• The best approach is to stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Do not touch money you need to live. And above all, do not chase losses – it rarely ends well.
• A bet should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking up too much of your day, if it winds you up or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if you need to, speak to a specialist support group. That is what they are there for.
• At the end of the day, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will never disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
• Essential reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must follow the law in your country. Gambling can spiral fast (money lost, family tension, 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 have no legal force. In plain English: you cannot use them to claim anything if a bet goes wrong.

Information moves fast

A prediction always depends on what we know when it is written. But in the meantime, a team sheet changes, a player gets hurt, the weather turns bad… and the analysis can quickly be out of date. We cannot be held responsible for that.

Your role

Before you bet, check that betting is legal where you are. If it is not, that is your responsibility, not ours.

Responsible gambling first

We cannot say it enough: gamble in moderation. If you are struggling to keep control, do not wait to get help. We cannot be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the information published on the site.
