Valencia will be looking to strengthen their claim for a place in the top six when they travel to Osasuna on Monday.
Los Che are currently placed in eighth in La Liga, having lost just one out of their last six.
Wins haven’t been easy to come by, though, as within that run they’ve won just two.
They face an Osasuna side who don’t have much to play for as the season winds down as they are comfortably placed in 11th.
Osasuna Team News
Kike Barja is out for the season due to a cruciate ligament injury.
Unai Garcia is targeting a return to action later this month after a muscle injury.
Ante Budimir has scored an impressive 16 goals in La Liga this season, though he will be suspended if he picks up another yellow card in this one.
Valencia Team News
Mouctar Diakhaby is a long-term absentee and won’t play again this season due to injury, while Jose Gaya and Roman Yaremchuk are out for at least a few more weeks.
Gaya is closer to a return than Yaremchuk, but Osasuna will come too early for the Spaniard.
Andre Almeida came off the bench to score the winner versus Granada, but its unlikely he’ll force Javi Guerra or Pepelu out of the starting XI.
Hugo Duro has been Valencia’s sole, relatively consistent goalscorer this season, with 12 in the league.
Osasuna (4-4-2): Herrera; Areso, Cruz, Catena, Herrando; Gomez, Munoz, Moncayola, Garcia; Jose, Budimir.
Valencia (4-4-2): Mamardashvili; Correia, Mosquera, Ozkacar, Foulquier; Perez, Pepelu, Guerra, Canos; Lopez, Duro.
