Osasuna vs Villarreal prediction, line ups , free online – 24/11/2024

Osasuna will host Villarreal in a highly anticipated La Liga clash. Currently positioned fifth in the league, Osasuna's recent form has been inconsistent, highlighted by a significant 4-0 defeat to Real Madrid . In contrast, Villarreal sits fourth and enters the match on a three-game winning streak. Despite Osasuna's strong home record of five wins and one draw against only one loss this season, their historical performance against Villarreal is less favorable; they remain winless in their last four encounters .

Real Madrid heading into the international break. 

Prior to that result, though, Los Rojillos only suffered one defeat in their seven preceding matches (W4 D2 L1), a period during which they beat Barcelona 4-2 at home. 

The hosts also have a very good home record this season, earning 16 of their 21 points at Estadio El Sadar (W5 D1 L1), and they have yet to be shut out on their home patch. 

Osasuna possible starting lineup: Herrera; Areso, Catena, Boyomo, Bretones; Moncayola, Torro, Oroz; Pena, Budimir, Zaragoza

Villarreal possible starting lineup: Conde; Femenia, Albiol, Costa, S Cardona; Pino, Comesana, Parejo, Suarez, Bernat; Barry

Villarreal, meanwhile, have been hit with the news that Ayoze Perez is facing more time out with the muscular problem that he suffered during the November international break with Spain.

Perez has scored seven times in nine La Liga matches this season, and his absence will be a huge blow, while Pape Gueye, Alex Baena, Ilias Akhomach, Nicolas Pepe, Juan Foyth and Alfonso Pedraza are also out.

There will have to be a number of changes to the side that started against Alaves due to the list of absentees, meaning that there should be starts for the likes of Yeremy Pino, Juan Bernat, Thierno Barry and Santi Comesana.

Villarreal's attacking prowess is evident; however, their defensive vulnerabilities could be exploited by Osasuna. The latter concedes an average of 1.54 goals per game . While specific lineups have not been disclosed prior to the matchday, both teams are expected to field competitive squads despite Villarreal facing injury challenges that may affect their freshness . This match promises to be closely contested with predictions leaning towards potential high-scoring exchanges.
