MADRID (Interstat) — Levante hosts Osasuna on Friday, May 8, 2026, in a mid-table La Liga clash at Ciutat de València, with both teams seeking consistency as the season winds down.

The match presents contrasting recent trajectories. Osasuna enters after a gritty 2-1 home defeat to Barcelona on May 2, a result that snapped a brief unbeaten run. The visitors have struggled for form overall, posting one win in their last five league matches — a 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo on Feb. 6. That inconsistency is underscored by a 2-2 draw at Deportivo Alaves on April 5 and a 1-0 loss at Athletic Bilbao on April 21. Osasuna’s season has been marked by resilience against top sides, including a 2-1 win over Real Madrid on Feb. 21, but road results remain a concern.

Levante, meanwhile, is reeling from a 5-1 thrashing at Villarreal on May 2, a result that exposed defensive frailties. Prior to that, the home side had shown solid form, winning three of its previous four matches, including a 2-0 victory at Sevilla on April 23 and a 1-0 win at Getafe on April 13. However, the heavy defeat to Villarreal raised questions about Levante’s ability to contain potent attacks. The team has generally been strong at home, with wins over Real Oviedo (4-2) and Deportivo Alaves (2-0) in recent months.

The most recent head-to-head meeting, on Dec. 8, 2025, saw Osasuna claim a dominant 2-0 home victory. That result extended Osasuna’s recent edge in the series, though Levante had won the prior encounter.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, reflecting the evenly matched nature of the two sides. A stalemate would likely suit neither team fully, as both look to build momentum for their upcoming fixtures. Osasuna faces a tough test Tuesday, May 12, hosting Club Atlético de Madrid. Levante travels to Celta Vigo on the same day, making a positive result Friday crucial for confidence.

Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. local time.
