- Levante’s home form has been solid of late, as they have won both of their last 2 at home without conceding.
- Osasuna have failed to win either of their last 2 away matches, with one defeat and a draw to show for their efforts.
- Levante and Osasuna will be looking to win for very different reasons, but both have been solid in their respective areas of the league so far.
Levante to continue their climb in LaLiga
Levante and Osasuna have played out some entertaining matches in recent years and their head-to-head record is quite even. However, both sides enter this clash in completely different spots in the league table, with the Levante vs Osasuna prediction tilting slightly in Levante's favor as they languish in 19th place in LaLiga with 33 points from 34 games, and trying to climb out of the relegation zone.
Osasuna have been more consistent, if somewhat unexciting, and sit in 10th position with 42 points from their 34 league matches. This Levante vs Osasuna preview highlights a clash of cultures, between Levante’s pragmatic survival instincts and Lisci’s more structured, intense approach to football.
Luis Castro has done a fantastic job in the Valencia club since taking over in December 2025, his main focus being to make his team compact and efficient in transition. Osasuna’s Alessio Lisci, who took over in July 2025, has also kept the team compact, preferring to press the ball with collective intensity, rather than allowing the opposing team to play through them. His 4-4-2 and 4-1-4-1 formations focus on the wide areas and second balls, as well as Ante Budimir’s ability to hold up the ball and play off the shoulder of the last defender.
Castro’s Levante have struggled to create chances and score goals this season, with Carlos Espi’s movement and finishing prowess making him their main threat, especially when he can break from deep or from a counter-attacking situation. Espi has scored 9 goals in 21 appearances in LaLiga this season and has netted twice in his last 5.
Osasuna’s Ante Budimir is the top scorer for the Pamplona club, scoring 16 times in 33 appearances in this campaign, and he is their best bet on Friday. He has scored twice in his last 5, and is usually Osasuna’s best chance on set pieces and in aerial duels. This Levante vs Osasuna prediction signals that both key strikers will have a major influence on the game's outcome.
Survival and intensity
Osasuna beat Levante 2-0 at home earlier this term in the reverse LaLiga fixture, but both teams have developed over the last few months and now this matchup will be a little different. According to our Levante vs Osasuna prediction, Levante are slight favorites at 2.71, which makes a lot of sense, given the hosts have won 5 of their 17 home league matches this campaign, with 5 draws and 7 losses, scoring 21 goals at an average of 1.24 goals per game.
Osasuna have won only 2 of their 17 away league fixtures, conceding 22 times, and they sit 10th with 42 points after 34 matches. Levante’s recent form has been inconsistent, as they have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5. Osasuna’s form is also mixed, with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats from their last 5 LaLiga fixtures.
In terms of Levante vs Osasuna betting tips, the 2.04 odds for Both Teams to Score - No looks like an interesting bet here, as one of these two teams will almost certainly fail to score, and that team is most likely Osasuna. The 2.05 odds for Over 2.5 goals also look solid, as the tempo of this match should lead to several direct transitions, but Levante’s compactness and efficiency in defense should help them keep a clean sheet and grab a crucial home win.
