Alaves vs Osasuna Match Preview: La Liga Showdown

Match Context

Alaves host Osasuna at Estadio Mendizorrotza on 5 April 2026 in La Liga (Regular Season - 30). Alaves come into the fixture 15th on 31 points with a goal difference of -11, while Osasuna sit 10th on 37 points with a goal difference of -1.

Alaves Availability

Alaves face several absences. F. Garcés (Suspension) is sidelined. C. Benavídez (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. Denis Suárez (Yellow Cards) is sidelined through suspension. In attack, L. Boyé (Foot Injury) is doubtful, a potential major blow given his 9 goals and 1 assist in 2026 La Liga action. These issues particularly affect the defensive line and central midfield balance, with a key attacking focal point at risk.

Osasuna Availability

Osasuna’s only listed absentee is Iker Benito (Knee Injury), who is sidelined. Otherwise, their core attacking threats remain available, including A. Budimir, who has 14 league goals and is central to their forward play, and Rubén García, leading their assist chart with 5.

Impact Summary

Alaves risk losing significant attacking output if L. Boyé does not feature, removing their primary scorer and a key link player. Osasuna, by contrast, retain their main offensive creators in A. Budimir and Rubén García, suggesting a relative advantage in established attacking firepower despite Benito’s absence.
