Almeria vs Osasuna Prediction
Osasuna have exceeded expectations so far this season and have been in impressive form in the early rounds of this campaign. Ante Budimir and Moi Gomez are often decisive in winning matches when they perform to the best of their abilities and they will need to step up this weekend.
Almeria are yet to hit their stride this season and will need to work hard to keep their place in La Liga. Osasuna are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
