Primera - Osasuna v Valencia
Having put all their financial crisis aside for the first half of this season, Los Che have been off to a flying start this season, just dropping the one loss in the league campaign so far way back in September.
Since that time the team has been more settled and teams are struggling to get used to the attacking presence of their quartet of players up front namely Silva, Villa, Mata and Pablo. The 4 of them together have scored 17 goals with 9 assists, showing that even if they don't score they are being involved in the build up towards the goal.
David Villa will be the man to watch. The striker is currently being hailed as the best in the world on current form, and will be looking to continue building that to help his side not to worry about behind the scenes dramas. He could also be looking to improve his stock value to help the club get a lot of money from his sale in the future, and therefore very determined to prove his best.
Osasuna on the other hand have been a mixed bag in terms of their results. While they languish in 10th spot in the league, they have a record of 3-3-4. They have been steadily improving their performances as was seen by the fortunate draw they grabbed against Barcelona, but then showed a below mediocre performance last time around as they lost 2-0 to Almeria.
Consistency is the name of the game in La Liga, where teams like Mallorca, Bilbao, and Deportivo have been managing to show so far this season, Osasuna have been facing similar problems, primarily due to their lack of efforts in front of goal except for Walter Pandiani.
Valencia like to play attacking and pressing football especially away from home, where they feel less pressure and can beat any team away on the counter attack.
Valencia should win this and grab all 3 points tonight.
