Vallecano Returns Home to Host Osasuna on Saturday

After a disappointing 1-0 away loss to Real Betis last weekend, Rayo Vallecano will look to rebound when they host Osasuna at the Estadio de Vallecas on Saturday. The match is scheduled to kick off at 14:00 CEST.

Vallecano has had a mixed start to the season, winning two, losing two, and drawing one of their first five matches. They currently sit in 10th place in the LaLiga table, three points behind Osasuna.

Osasuna, meanwhile, has been in impressive form this season, winning three and drawing two of their first five matches. They are currently in 6th place in the table, just one point behind leaders Barcelona.

Vallecano's Recent Form

Vallecano has won two of their last five matches, both of which came at home. They lost their last away match, 1-0 to Real Betis.

Vallecano's home record against Osasuna is good. They have won three of their last five meetings, including a 2-1 victory in their last match at the Estadio de Vallecas in April 2023.

Osasuna's Recent Form

Osasuna has won three and drawn two of their last five matches. They have not lost a match since their 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid in the opening weekend of the season.

Osasuna's away record against Vallecano is poor. They have won just one of their last five visits to the Estadio de Vallecas, losing three and drawing one.

Prediction

This is a tough match to call. Vallecano has the home advantage, but Osasuna is in better form. I think Osasuna will edge it, but it could go either way.

Prediction: Osasuna to win 2-1.
