Alaves host Osasuna at Estadio Mendizorrotza on 5 April 2026, with both sides chasing a strong finish to their La Liga season. The hosts sit 15th on 31 points after 29 matches (8W-7D-14L, goal difference -11), just about clear of the relegation battle but still needing wins to breathe easier. Their recent league form (WDLLD) is patchy, though they have been more solid at home with 5 wins and 17 goals scored in 14 outings.
Osasuna arrive 11th on 37 points from 29 games (10W-7D-12L, goal difference -1). They are far stronger in Pamplona than on the road: 8 home wins but only 2 away victories in 15 attempts, with just 9 away goals scored and 19 conceded.
Head-to-Head
Head-to-head in La Liga recently leans Osasuna’s way. In the last three league meetings, Osasuna have two home wins (3-0 and 1-0) and one 1-1 draw in Vitoria, while Alaves’ only recent success came in a 2-1 club friendly.
Team News
Team news could be decisive. Alaves are without F. Garces (suspended), C. Protesoni (muscle injury) and D. Suarez (yellow-card ban), while key forward L. Boye (9 league goals) is doubtful with a foot injury. Osasuna miss I. Benito (knee injury) but can rely on in-form striker Ante Budimir, who has 14 league goals in 28 appearances.
With Osasuna’s away struggles and Alaves’ absences up front, a tight, low-scoring contest looks likely, with a draw or narrow Osasuna edge the most plausible outcome.
