Valencia, Recent FormValencia will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Barcelona who sit so many places above them in the table. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Barcelona who had 13 attempts and 4 on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Rubén Baraja where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 7 in the same period. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 20 of their 24 league matches.
With 5 defeats in their last 6 outings, they will be looking for a significant change in their current run of form.
Osasuna, Recent FormOsasuna had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 0-0 draw against Celta Vigo. They achieved 64% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Celta Vigo's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 0 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Ezequiel Ávila will be hoping to create problems for Valencia in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Osasuna.
It ended in disappointment and a 1-2 defeat for Osasuna last time they met Valencia in the league, with Los Che defying the odds to take the win.
Valencia will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 15 encounters with Los Rojillos.
Valencia manager Rubén Baraja has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Marcos André (Ankle), Edinson Cavani (Muscle), Jaume Doménech (Cruciate ligament), José Gayà (Arm) and Gabriel Paulista (Leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Osasuna manager Jagoba Arrasate ahead of this clash, with Rubén Peña (Leg) missing out, which gives Arrasate a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
