La Liga | Osasuna VS Athletic Bilbao’s victory over Mallorca has ended their 40-year wait for the 24th Copa del Rey trophy, boosting their European ambitions. Los Rojillos, currently in eighth and ninth place, have also secured a victory over Almeria. Osasuna and Valencia, currently in eighth and ninth place, are also in contention for the trophy. Osasuna, led by manager Jagoba Arrasate, is hoping to replicate their performance in the 2-1 victory against Valencia in the reverse fixture. Valencia, on the other hand, has managed to secure all three points from their visit to Granada.

Los Ches, chasing the top-seven race, have a chance to take the lead, but their recent form has been concerning. They have only won two of their last six LaLiga contests, and to win at El Sadar, they need to improve their performance in the final third. Despite their goal drought, Los Ches will be determined to rediscover their attacking flair, having scored 2+ goals in three of their last five home matches. Both teams are eager for the crucial three points, and fans can expect an exciting match at El Sadar.Valencia; Tuesday, 16 April at 03:00 GMT +8

Osasuna boss Jagoba Arrasate will miss Unai García due to a hamstring injury and Kike Barja due to a ruptured ligament. Los Rojillos may adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Valencia manager Rubén Baraja must select a team with limited availability, including Roman Yaremchuk and Mouctar Diakhaby. Los Che are likely to use a 4-4-2 lineup with Giorgi Mamardashvili, Thierry Correia, Cristhian Mosquera, Cenk Ozkacar, Dimitri Foulquier, Fran Perez, Pepelu, Javier Guerra, Sergi Canos, Diego Lopez, and Hugo Duro.
