-----------------------------
Levante and Osasuna meet in an important La Liga clash on Friday night, with both sides still fighting for their respective objectives heading into the final weeks of the season. Levante are desperately chasing survival, while Osasuna continue pushing for a potential European qualification spot. 

Team Analysis:
Levante head into this fixture under significant pressure after suffering a heavy 5-1 defeat against Villarreal last weekend. Despite their difficult position near the bottom of the table, the hosts have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, losing only two of their last nine league matches. Their home form remains inconsistent, but with only four matches left to save their season, Levante are expected to play with urgency and intensity in front of their supporters.

Osasuna, meanwhile, remain in contention for a top-six finish despite a narrow 2-1 loss to Barcelona in their previous outing. Alessio Lisci’s side have been much stronger at home this season than away from Pamplona, with only two league victories on the road so far. Even so, Osasuna have consistently looked competitive against mid-table and lower-ranked opponents, and their organized structure could cause serious problems for a vulnerable Levante defense.

Player Situation:
Levante are dealing with several important absences ahead of kickoff. Kervin Arriaga is suspended, while Carlos Alvarez, Ivan Romero and Unai Elgezabal are all unavailable or major doubts due to injury concerns. These setbacks could force manager Luis Castro into further adjustments, especially in midfield and attack.

Osasuna have fewer injury problems, with Victor Munoz remaining their only confirmed absentee. Ante Budimir continues to lead the attack after scoring 16 La Liga goals this season, while Raul Garcia is pushing for a starting role following his goal against Barcelona. The visitors are expected to maintain their usual 4-2-3-1 setup with Budimir as the focal point in attack.

Result Prediction:
With Levante fighting for survival and Osasuna still dreaming of European football, this should be a tense and competitive encounter. Levante’s desperation could make them dangerous at home, but Osasuna’s greater stability and attacking efficiency may help them secure an important result. Both teams are likely to create chances, though a draw appears to be the most balanced outcome.

Prediction: Levante 1-1 Osasuna
