Valencia started the Spanish championship with two consecutive victories. In the first round, they defeated Sevilla 2:1 away. In round two, the team won over Las Palmas: Pepelu scored the only goal in the 74th minute. Valencia was the home team but possessed the ball only 38% of the game time. At the same time, they outshot their opponents 9/7 towards goal and 4/1 on target.

Osasuna started the season with an away win over Celta. However, they lost 2:0 to Atletico at home in the second round of La Liga. They were weaker than Brugge in the first final of the Conference League qualifying round. The match against Atletico was not Osasuna's best, with an xG of 0.89, 18 shots on goal, and 7 shots on target.

Valencia has high motivation after a series of bad seasons, and they want to fight for high places, not for survival. Osasuna is a problematic opponent: they can surprise, whether at home or away. Osasuna played a tough match against Brugge, and they will have a return match a few days later in Belgium. Also, we should consider the pitch aspect and the fact that Valencia beat Osasuna in both games last season.
