Osasuna host Rayo Vallecano at Estadio El Sadar on Saturday in a La Liga Matchday 7 fixture between two mid-table sides. Both teams have played six matches, won two, drawn one and lost three, leaving them level on seven points — Osasuna in 13th, Rayo Vallecano in 11th.
Osasuna arrive in difficult form. Their last five matches have yielded six points, and they are currently on a run of three consecutive defeats. In those recent losses they conceded eleven goals across the three fixtures, falling 4-0 to Atletico Madrid, 2-0 to Espanyol and 5-2 to Alaves. Their goals record for the season stands at five scored and twelve conceded.
Rayo Vallecano have taken seven points from their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 2-1 home win over Espanyol. The sequence has not been without difficulty — a 4-1 defeat at Real Madrid and a 5-2 loss at Barcelona sit within that run, and a draw 1-1 with Alaves also features. Their season goals record reads ten scored and fifteen conceded.
The head-to-head record this calendar year favours Osasuna. In the most recent meeting, played on 24 January 2026, Rayo Vallecano fell 1-3. Before that, on 14 September 2025, Osasuna won 2-0 at home. Osasuna therefore carry a strong recent record in this fixture into Saturday's encounter.
With the points gap between the two sides standing at zero, both occupy mid-table in a 20-team La Liga. Kick-off is at 12:00 UTC.
