Valencia Vs Osasuna at Mestalla
The match corresponding to Matchday 26 will be played at Mestalla on Sunday, 1 March 2026 at 16: 15 (Spanish time), and the television broadcast will be carried out by Movistar Plus+ (MOVISTAR LALIGA) while live coverage is available through the club's official channels. Valencia arrive with 26 points from 25 matches and a recent 2-1 defeat at Villarreal, which marked their 11th league loss this campaign, making this home fixture crucial given they are two points clear of 18th-placed Mallorca.
Osasuna's form, scorers and squad availability
Osasuna sit ninth in LaLiga, four points off sixth-placed Celta Vigo, and enter Mestalla on the back of a standout 2-1 win over Real Madrid in which Ante Budimir and Raul Garcia scored. Alessio Lisci's side have nine wins, six draws and ten defeats from 25 league matches, but they have won only two of 13 away league fixtures in 2025-26 and scored eight goals on the road, a stat that underlines their travel struggles.
Selection dilemmas for both managers
Valencia will be without Mouctar Diakhaby, Dimitri Foulquier and Copete through injury, with Julen Agirrezabala and Lucas Beltran listed as major doubts, and head coach Carlos Corberan could introduce Arnaut Danjuma and Hugo Duro to the starting lineup while Javi Guerra and Guido Rodriguez are expected to keep their places. Osasuna will miss Iker Benito due to a long-term knee injury, Enzo Boyomo is a major doubt, and Aimar Oroz will sit out after picking up a milestone yellow card in the win over Real Madrid.
Valencia have won three of their last six league matches but remain perilously close to the relegation zone with 26 points from 25 matches, while Osasuna's recent victory over Real Madrid moved them notably into ninth place and kept them in the mix for European contention; that contrast frames the immediate stakes at Mestalla.
The kickoff on 1 March 2026 at 16: 15 (Spanish time) is the next confirmed event on both clubs' calendars, with the match available on the club's live channels and on Movistar Plus+ as the official television provider.
