Overview
Last season, Osasuna finished 17th in La Liga and was just enough to avoid relegation. Therefore, this team needs to improve significantly if they want to aim for a more stable season.
Coach Luis Miguel Ramis's team has gone through a rather busy pre-season with 6 friendly matches. Los Rojillos won the first 3 matches against Racing Santander, Ipswich Town and Norwich City, but then successively lost to Napoli and Al-Ain, before drawing with Arenas Getxo in the most recent match.
Osasuna has added three new players in the summer transfer window, including Jonathan Dubasin, Rockson Yeboah and Diego Rico, thereby strengthening the force for the new season.
In the opposite direction, Victor Munoz is the most notable departure when moving to Liverpool. Osasuna's squad is likely to still have more fluctuations before the transfer window closes.
In 34 previous encounters with Levante, Osasuna won 16 matches. However, in the most recent encounter in May 2026, they suffered a 2-3 defeat to the opponent.
Levante also does not have a good record in recent encounters with Osasuna. They have lost 3 of their last 5 matches, including a 0-2 defeat in the 2025-2026 season.
Last season, Levante ranked 16th in La Liga, tied on points with Osasuna. The two teams even have completely similar achievements with 11 wins, 9 draws and 18 defeats.
Coach Luis Castro's team also started the new season unfavorably when losing to Espanyol 0-3. Therefore, they will aim to regain their form in the away match against Osasuna.
Levante has been active in the summer transfer market, bringing in 7 new players, including Hugo Sotelo and Aissa Mandi. This team is likely to continue to strengthen its forces before the transfer window closes.
Personnel situation
Osasuna is expected to be without Valentin Rosier due to a hamstring injury. Apart from this case, the home team is almost at their best for the match.
Diego Rico and Jonathan Dubasin are expected to make their debut, while Raul Moro is likely to be placed in the attack.
Ante Budimir continues to be the biggest hope in Osasuna's attack. The 35-year-old striker scored 17 goals in La Liga last season and is likely to play highest in the attack in this match.
On Levante's side, Roger Brugue returned to the squad after completing his suspension. Meanwhile, Alejandro Primo still leaves open the possibility of playing due to a shoulder problem.
After an unconvincing performance in the 0-3 defeat to Espanyol, coach Luis Castro is likely to still keep the same squad and not make too many changes.
Expected lineup:
Osasuna: Fernandez, Boyomo, Catena, Herrando, Rico, Moncayola, Torro, Gomez, Dubasin, Budimir, Moro.
Levante: Ryan, Perez, Dela, Mandi, Sanchez, Olasagasti, Rey, Garcia, Alvarez, Corest, Romero.
The match between Osasuna and Levante takes place at 0:30 a.m. on August 25 (Vietnam time).
