The fight for survival in La Liga intensifies this week as struggling Levante host Osasuna at their home ground on Thursday, 8th May 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 8:00 PM BST. The hosts, currently battling relegation, will be desperate for points against an Osasuna side looking to climb into the European qualification spots.
Levante vs Osasuna Form
Levante suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat away to Villarreal in their last outing, a result that belied their otherwise solid recent home form. Despite sitting 19th in the overall LaLiga standings, the home side has shown resilience on their own patch, ranking 7th in the league's form table over their last six matches. Crucially, they boast an impressive home record in recent weeks, having won their last three home fixtures, remaining unbeaten in five and keeping two clean sheets in that run.
Osasuna, meanwhile, also tasted defeat in their most recent fixture, falling 2-1 away to Barcelona. The visitors currently occupy 10th place in the league table but their away form has been a cause for concern. Over their last six away matches, Osasuna rank 12th in the form table, managing just one win, two draws, and three losses. Their last away fixture ended in defeat, and they have now gone five consecutive away matches without a win or a draw, failing to score in one of those outings.
Levante vs Osasuna Head to Head
The most recent encounter between these two teams took place in December 2025, where Osasuna secured a comfortable 2-0 victory at their home stadium. Looking at their last six meetings, Osasuna have had the upper hand, winning four times compared to Levante's single victory, with one match ending in a draw. An interesting fact to note is that Levante have seen under 2.5 goals scored in their last six home matches against Osasuna across all competitions.

Levante vs Osasuna Match Facts
- Levante have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 6 home matches against Osasuna in all competitions.
Prediction: Levante 1-0 Osasuna
This encounter pits a struggling Levante side, desperate for points to avoid relegation, against an Osasuna team with European ambitions but poor away form. Despite their overall league position, Levante have shown considerable strength at home recently, winning three consecutive matches and remaining unbeaten in their last five home fixtures in the league. They possess strengths in attacking set pieces and creating scoring chances, which could be crucial against an Osasuna side that, while strong in aerial duels and defending set pieces, struggles with finishing scoring chances.
Osasuna's current away form is a significant concern, having gone five matches without a win on the road. While they are adept at playing with width and attacking down the left, their weakness in finishing scoring chances could hinder them against a Levante team fighting for their lives. The hosts' tactical setup, likely a 4-5-1, suggests a focus on midfield control and counter-attacking opportunities, which could exploit Osasuna's tendency to concede fouls in dangerous areas. Given Levante's recent resurgence at home and Osasuna's struggles on their travels, a narrow victory for the home side seems a plausible outcome, especially considering the historical tendency for low-scoring affairs when these two meet at Levante's ground.
Best Bet: Under 2.5 Goals (-115) Check out the best odds on DraftKings Sportsbook
The most compelling betting angle for this match comes directly from the historical data: Levante have seen under 2.5 goals in their last six home matches against Osasuna in all competitions. This fact, combined with Osasuna's weakness in finishing scoring chances and Levante's defensive solidity at home recently (two clean sheets in their last three home wins), strongly suggests a low-scoring affair. A 1-0 predicted scoreline further reinforces the "Under 2.5 Goals" market as a valuable bet.
