Osasuna vs Levante
Spain – LaLiga
Date: Friday, 24 January 2020
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Estadio El Sadar (Pamplona).
The opening game of matchday 21 in La Liga came from El Sadar where Osasuna and Levante met. The visitors to this one place and one point better but both sides will only start to look over their shoulders with some of the teams at the bottom beginning to show signs of life. Defeat for either side here would only add to the worry of degradation.
Osasuna has hit a rough patch for pretty much the first time this season, back in their first at this level. They have won just one of their last eight league games and without a win in 5. Significantly, their home form has just started to fade after the previous club record for unbeaten league matches. Since reaching that mark, they have picked up just two points from four league outings at El Sadar including a frustrating goalless draw with Real Valladolid last time.
While Osasuna remain a draw specialist divisions, no side has attracted fewer games in La Liga this term of Levante. Only two of their matches ended with another level of producing 8 wins and 10 defeats. You never know what you'll get from the club Valencia have conceded 16 goals in their last eight league games and have lost four of their last six.
Osasuna came from 2-0 down to win in the Copa del Rey in midweek that just might give them a lift heading into this. Chimy Avila remains in fine form at the top and they are boosted by the return key Estupiñan Pervis full-back, who missed their last league match due to suspension. They face a Levante team that tends to match those of 4-4-2 but it should be much more positive than Valladolid when they visit El Sadar last weekend.

Osasuna vs Levante Predictions
Osasuna rescued a point for the second time on the trot, after Real Valladolid managed to hold them to a dead end last week. The hosts were much the better side in a final clash though, and finished ninety minutes with a whopping twenty-one shot on goal, as opposed to their enemies who took no more than five.
It is also worthy to mention that the home team has now tripped just twice in their last six clashes in La Liga.
On the other hand, Levante will make a trip to the Estadio El Sadar behind dingy two-game winning streak. latest fight them, in particular, witnessed Deportivo Alaves edge past them with a 1-0 scoreline at home.
Piling on even more suffering, Levante had in the end defeated in seven of their previous ten events. They have secured the bragging rights only once in their last six visits to this place as well.
Additionally, Osasuna has not stumbled at home against teams outside the top ten. Thus, relying on the host to take all three points in this one.
Additionally, Osasuna had found the back of the net more times at home than on the road this season. Impressive, sixteen out of twenty-six goals for them so far comes from their clash here.
Meanwhile, Levante have been too easy to abuse in their events. The fact that they have conceded nineteen goals like that now clearly stands as the proof.
Considering that six of the last ten games in this stadium also has a high scoring affair, it is certainly well within reason to expect over 2.5 goals at this weekend's Scorecard.
