Team News

Valladolid

  • Juan Ignacio Martinez has Patrick Ebert back available after he served his one-match suspension. He will however, be without Italian midfielder Fausto Rossi, who is banned
  • Creative midfilelder Oscar remains injured after suffering a relapse during his recovery.

Osasuna

  • Jordan Loties returns to the side, as does Miguel de las Cuevas with both having served their bans.
  • However, coach Javi Garcia will not be able to count on first-choice striker Oriol Riera after an accumulation of yellow cards means he is suspended.
  • Sisi had his right knee operated on this week so he is still some six months away from returning to action.
  • Nino, who suffered a ruptured ligament in July, also remains on the road to recovery.

Match Facts

  • Osasuna have lost 8 of their last 9 away matches in La Liga.
  • Valladolid have drawn their last 3 home matches in La Liga.
  • There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Osasuna’s last 10 away games in La Liga.
  • Osasuna have conceded at least 2 goals in 9 of their last 10 away matches in La Liga.
  • There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Valladolid’s last 7 games in La Liga.
  • Valladolid have conceded at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 home matches in La Liga.
  • Osasuna are undefeated in their last 7 away matches against Valladolid in all competitions.
  • Valladolid have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 home matches in La Liga.

Prediction

  • Juan Ignacio Martinez is expected to line up his side in a 4-3-3 formation, which he is hoping will give his team greater control in the middle of the park.
  • Valladolid’s home record this season has left much to be desired with their one and only win coming in late August. They will though be fancying their chances of claiming a belated second victory at Estadio Jose Zorrilla against an Osasuna side who have lost five of their six matches on the road.
  • Osasuna have failed to score in their last two matches and the suspension of their Oriol Riera adds to their problems in attack. Manuel Omwu could be drafted in as his replacement, but there is no denying that Riera’s absence is a major blow.
