Two evenly matched sides collide as Osasuna host Rayo Vallecano at El Sadar on Matchday 7, both level on seven points from their opening six fixtures in La Liga.
Osasuna arrive in a rut, having lost their last three league games and conceding at least two goals in each. Luis Miguel Ramis, appointed head coach in June, needs a response from a stubborn home side.
Rayo Vallecano travel to Pamplona in decent nick, winning two of their last three. The problem is at the back, with no clean sheet in their last 12 outings leaving them exposed on the road.
Osasuna are undefeated in their last six home meetings with Rayo Vallecano in all competitions, and both sides have scored in four of the last five head-to-heads in LaLiga.
Osasuna vs Rayo Vallecano Form
Osasuna are in a proper slump, losing their last three LaLiga matches and shipping 11 goals across that run. They have been behind at both half time and full time in each of those three, and have conceded at least two goals every time. Ante Budimir remains the focal point up top, having scored in three of his last five league appearances.
Rayo Vallecano look sharper going forward, winning two of their last three. There have been over 2.5 goals in six of their last seven LaLiga games, and no clean sheet in 12 outings tells its own story. Sergio Camello is flying, netting in four of his last five LaLiga appearances and registering 2+ shots on target across those same games.
Osasuna vs Rayo Vallecano Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Osasuna: Jorge Herrando (Injured/out), Aimar Oroz (Injured/out), Moi Gómez (Injured/out), Valentin Rosier (Injured/doubtful)
Rayo Vallecano: Augusto Batalla (Injured/out), Isi Palazón (Injured/out), Luiz Felipe (Injured/doubtful), Jozhua Vertrouwd (Injured/doubtful), Randy Nteka (Injured/doubtful)
Osasuna
The hosts have a defensive headache with Jorge Herrando ruled out through injury alongside Aimar Oroz and Moi Gómez, while Valentin Rosier remains a doubt after more than a month on the sidelines. Sergio Herrera keeps his place between the sticks, with Ante Budimir leading the line and Raúl García pulling strings in behind.
Rayo Vallecano
Rayo are without Augusto Batalla and Isi Palazón, both ruled out through injury, while Luiz Felipe, Jozhua Vertrouwd and Randy Nteka are all rated doubtful. That thins out their options, though Sergio Camello continues to spearhead the attack in what should still be a lively away line-up.

Osasuna edge it as narrow favourites at home, and with the model projecting 2.33 goals in total, a low-scoring draw looks the most likely outcome. Our Osasuna vs Rayo Vallecano prediction is a draw, with goals kept to a minimum at a stubborn El Sadar.
Best Bets
Back Both Teams To Score - No in this La Liga clash between Osasuna and Rayo Vallecano. The implied probability of both teams finding the net sits at just 47.25%, tilting the value firmly towards the 'No', and Osasuna's stubborn home record against this opponent backs that up.
Back Under 2.5 Goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market at El Sadar. A projected aggregate of just 2.33 goals and a 58.9% implied probability for the Under both point one way, and it stacks up nicely with five of the last six head-to-heads at El Sadar staying below 2.5 goals in all competitions.
Osasuna vs Rayo Vallecano Bet Builder
Our Osasuna vs Rayo Vallecano bet builder tips combine Sergio Camello for goals and shots, Pathé Ciss to be carded, and both teams to score in a four-leg selection.
Sergio Camello to score anytime is the anchor. The forward has netted in four of his last five LaLiga appearances and leads a Rayo attack short of alternatives.
Pathé Ciss to be shown a card looks compelling on the head-to-head. The midfielder has been carded in each of his last four LaLiga appearances against Osasuna.
Sergio Camello over 2.5 shots complements the goalscorer leg nicely. He has attempted 3+ shots in four of his most recent five LaLiga outings, so he is consistently active in front of goal.

Osasuna vs Rayo Vallecano Talking Points
Pressure is building on the hosts after three straight defeats, and Luis Miguel Ramis has demanded an immediate reaction from his side. He has publicly backed goalkeeper Sergio Herrera and insists the team must hit the right keys to tighten up defensively, having conceded 11 goals across that losing run. Rayo, meanwhile, arrive with genuine attacking momentum through the in-form Sergio Camello, but a leaky rearguard that has not kept a clean sheet in 12 games gives Osasuna hope of finally halting the slide. Given Osasuna are unbeaten in their last six home meetings with Rayo, there is history on the hosts' side even as the table says this one is finely poised.
