Deportivo Alaves vs Osasuna Prediction and Betting Tips | May 24th 2025
Deportivo Alaves will invite Osasuna to Mendizorroza in the final La Liga match of the season on Saturday. Alaves have ensured their top-flight status and will look to finish the season on a winning note. The visitors, meanwhile, need to win this match to keep their European hopes alive. They are level on points with eighth-placed Rayo Vallecano and trail Celta Vigo by just one point.
The hosts went winless in their first two league games of the month and have bounced back with consecutive 1-0 wins. They met Real Valladolid last week and Kike García's first-half penalty was enough for them to eke out a narrow win.
Gorritxoak extended their unbeaten streak in the league to three games with a 2-0 home triumph over Espanyol last week. Ante Budimir continued his fine form with a goal in the first half while substitute Raúl García doubled their lead in stoppage time.

Interestingly, they have lost their last five home meetings against the visitors without scoring, which is a cause for concern.
Abdelkabir Abqar faces a late fitness test following a hamstring injury he picked up last month, while Moussa Diarra is a doubt as he is nursing a broken nose.
Gorritxoak head into the match on a two-game winning streak, scoring two goals without a reply. Notably, they have won just one of their last 10 away games in all competitions.
José Arnaiz has a fever and is unlikely to start here while Kike Barja picked up a muscle injury against Espanyol and will miss this match.
Both teams are on a two-game winning streak but Osasuna could eke out a narrow win.
