Alaves vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting Tips (6 September)

Deportivo Alavés will welcome CA Osasuna to Estadio de Mendizorroza on Sunday, September 6, 2026, for a LaLiga EA Sports clash that serves as Matchday 4 of the 2026–27 campaign. The two Basque-region neighbours are locked together on seven points apiece, with Alavés occupying fourth place and Osasuna sitting fifth, making this an early-season six-pointer in Vitoria-Gasteiz. Their most recent league meeting at this ground, on April 5, 2026, finished in a 2-2 draw, and another closely fought encounter is expected.

Quique Sánchez Flores has guided Alavés to an unbeaten start, collecting seven points from three fixtures. The Mendizorroza outfit began the term with a commanding 3-0 home win over Getafe, then battled to a 1-1 draw at Rayo Vallecano, before sealing a narrow 1-0 victory against Villarreal last time out. Osasuna have also taken seven points from their opening three matches, though they have been less convincing defensively, conceding in each of their fixtures so far.

The 2026–27 squad for Alavés sees Antonio Sivera as the established first-choice goalkeeper, shielded by a back line that includes Jonny Otto, Nahuel Tenaglia and Ville Koski, while Antonio Blanco, Carlos Alena and Denis Suárez provide creativity in midfield, and Lucas Boyé, Toni Martínez and Abde Rebbach lead the attack. Osasuna's roster for the campaign is built around Sergio Herrera in goal, defenders Jorge Herrando and Diego Rico, the experienced midfield pairing of Lucas Torró and Jon Moncayola, and forwards Ante Budimir, Kike Barja and Aimar Oroz. Both managers are expected to name their strongest available line-ups, although Alavés will be without the suspended Facundo Garcés.

European bookmakers price Alavés as slight favourites at 2.36, the draw is offered at 3.23 and an Osasuna victory is available at 3.56, while the under 2.5 goals market trades at 2.00 and both teams to score sits at 2.05 for yes and 1.70 for no. Given the evenly matched nature of the two sides, their compact defensive records through the opening weeks, and the historical tendency for tight Basque derbies, our prediction is a 0-0 stalemate, a correct-score result currently listed at 8.00 in the European odds mar
