This is a tougher match than the standings suggest. The key here will be how Osasuna's midfield, particularly the creativity of Jon Moncayola, deals with Alavés's disciplined press.
Alavés is coming off a massive 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano, their first victory in four matches, which should inject some much-needed confidence. Osasuna, on the other hand, stumbled to a 2-0 defeat against Real Madrid, but they did beat Almería 3-0 in their previous home fixture. They've been a different beast at El Sadar.
Look, Osasuna’s home form is too strong to ignore against a team that struggles for goals on the road. Alavés has only scored 10 away goals all season. I've got Osasuna taking this one 2-0.
