>Osasuna vs Levante Prediction & Betting Tips – 24/08/2026
Osasuna welcome Levante to Estadio El Sadar on Monday 24th August for a La Liga fixture carrying distinct weight for both sides. The hosts, who finished sixth last term, harbour European ambitions and will view this as a match they must win. Levante, meanwhile, ended the previous campaign in nineteenth and face an immediate battle to prove they belong at this level. Off-field frustration surrounds Osasuna after a public row with La Liga over scheduling, adding an edge to proceedings at a ground where the Rojillos can be ferocious.
Match Analysis
Osasuna enter this La Liga Round 2 clash as clear home favourites at 1.70, backed by an all-time H2H record of 8 wins against Levante's 5 and the fortress atmosphere of Estadio El Sadar driving their European ambitions.
- 8 H2H wins all-time against Levante, including a dominant 2-0 home victory in December 2025.
- El Sadar home advantage is a proven factor; Osasuna's only recent H2H win came on home soil.
- Near full-strength squad available, with Moro and Rosier doubtful but expected to feature in the XI.
- European qualification motivation contrasts sharply with Levante's relegation survival mentality this season.
Levante arrive at El Sadar in dire straits, sitting 19th and priced at 5.00, with four confirmed absentees due to injury and registration issues severely depleting their squad depth before a ball is even kicked.
- Four players ruled out including Primo, Sotelo, Musuayi, and Requena Sanchez, gutting squad depth.
- 19th-place standing reflects a side already under serious pressure in the early La Liga campaign.
- Poor away record in recent H2H meetings; Levante's 3-2 win in May 2026 was an exception, not the rule.
Key point: With totals markets unavailable, the double chance covering Osasuna and a draw offers security; 1.70 alone at current pricing represents solid value given Levante's depleted roster.

Medium confidence
Both sides line up in a 4-3-3 mirror, which should produce a compact, contested midfield battle from the first whistle. Ante Budimir leads the Osasuna attack, though the fitness of Rosier and Moro carries a degree of uncertainty that could yet reshape the home side's shape before kickoff.
Levante arrive with their own late adjustments absorbed, Roger Brugué slotting into midfield following his suspension. Ivan Romero will be the focal point to watch in the visitors' forward line as Levante look to make an early statement in their return to La Liga.
Our Verdict
Osasuna's home win at 1.70 represents the standout selection here. The head-to-head record favours the Rojillos convincingly, with eight victories to Levante's five across their meetings, and that 2-0 home triumph in their most recent El Sadar encounter underlines the fortress factor. Levante finished 19th last season and their away form reads poorly, with two defeats in their last three on the road. Under 1.91 also appeals given Osasuna's typically disciplined home structure. Back the home win as the primary pick.
