Valencia<\/a> welcome Osasuna<\/a> to the Estadio de Mestalla this Sunday, with both sides eager to turn mid-table ambitions into a late-season La Liga<\/a> charge. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contest kicks off at 15:15 and pits a home side desperate to halt their slide against an Osasuna outfit who have quietly climbed the table on the back of key attacking contributions. With only one defeat for Osasuna in the last three head-to-heads and just seven points separating the teams, there\u2019s more at stake than the league standings suggest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
