Match Report

Fixture analysis

Alaves enter this La Liga clash at Mendizorroza buoyed by a thrilling 4-3 comeback win over Celta Vigo, injecting fresh momentum into their campaign. Despite not having beaten Osasuna since 2016, Alaves will leverage their attacking width and high crossing volume to challenge a tactically structured Osasuna side, who sit just above them in the table and are chasing consecutive wins to boost their European qualification hopes.
