Osasuna - Villarreal

Match date: 31/01-16:15

CA Osasuna

Osasuna faces the match with enthusiasm and the intention of keeping their eyes on the top. Alessio Lisci arrives conditioned by the absence of Iker Benito, who won't return until May or June after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament, and pending the condition of Aimar Oroz, who has worked separately during the week due to a foot contusion and is a serious doubt.

In the starting eleven, the main novelty should be at the back: Catena returns after suspension and is likely to start, sparking a debate among the center-backs to complete the defense. In the attacking midfield, the strategy will depend on Oroz: if he doesn't make it, the alternatives include reshuffling with Moi Gómez, moving Rubén García inward, or even giving a chance to Raúl Moro.

Villarreal CF

Villarreal will visit Pamplona after a grim week, starting with the defeat at La Cerámica in the previous LaLiga match against Real Madrid, followed by another thrashing in a Champions League where the Submarine never managed to compete.

Thus, Marcelino's team can now focus on the only remaining objective for the rest of the season, to extend the gap with the fifth-placed team in LaLiga to ensure their participation in the top European competition again next year, hopefully with better luck.

For the clash against Osasuna, the yellow submarine will have the absences of the injured players Logan Costa, Kambwala, and Pau Cabanes, along with Argentine Juan Foyth, who will miss the rest of the season after rupturing his Achilles tendon. Additionally, the Canary Islander Ayoze is doubtful due to muscle discomfort he has been dealing with in recent days, as well as the new signing Alfon, who arrives injured and is unlikely to be available for this weekend.

Regarding the starting eleven, it is expected that Luiz Junior returns to goal, along with Mouriño and Pedraza on the wings after not featuring in the Champions League. In midfield, the main question will be who partners with Pape Gueye, with Parejo and Comesaña competing for the spot, while Moleiro and Buchanan or Pépé would take the wide positions. Finally, considering Ayoze's discomfort and Oluwaseyi's start in the Champions League, it seems that Gerard Moreno and Mikautadze will once again form the attacking duo.
