Osasuna seeks revenge in La Liga 2026-27 debut
Osasuna seeks its first win of the 2026-27 season against Levante at the Estadio El Sadar. A victory would be crucial to avoid relegation. Last season was difficult for Los Rojillos, who finished in 17th place, barely above the relegation zone.
What has happened?
During the pre-season, Osasuna showed a varied performance with three wins over Racing Santander, Ipswich Town and Norwich City, although they also suffered a defeat against Napoli and Al-Ain. On the other hand, Levante arrives with a less ideal condition, as they have already played their first game of the season and suffered a 0-3 defeat against Espanyol.
Why is it important for Osasuna?
A win in this game would be crucial for Osasuna, as it would allow them to avoid relegation. Additionally, Levante's defeat in their first game of the season could be a significant blow to their confidence.
What comes next?
Osasuna has already made some significant signings, such as the arrival of Jonathan Dubasin, Rockson Yeboah and Diego Rico. However, they have also lost Victor Munoz, who left for Liverpool with a significant transfer value. Munoz's absence will be a challenge for coach Luis Miguel Ramis to maintain creativity in the midfield.
Current statistics
Osasuna finished last season in 9th place in La Liga with 39 points, 10 wins, 9 draws and 12 defeats. Currently, they have scored 37 goals and received 38 goals, giving them a -1 goal difference. In terms of the standings, Osasuna is 40 points behind leaders Barcelona.
Next fixture
Osasuna will play their next fixture against Celta Vigo at the Balaídos stadium on August 27, 2026.
Conclusion
A win in this game would be crucial for Osasuna, as it would allow them to avoid relegation. Levante's defeat in their first game of the season could be a significant blow to their confidence. Osasuna has already made some significant signings, but they have also lost Victor Munoz, who left for Liverpool with a significant transfer value.
