13 Osasuna vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction: Sportpesa Mega Jackpot
Osasuna enter this clash having shown mixed results in the early stages of the La Liga season. They have displayed strong organization at the back but struggled to turn possession into goals. Their campaign has seen them grind out narrow victories, while also suffering defeats when failing to create enough in the final third.
Rayo Vallecano, on the other hand, have mirrored similar inconsistencies. They remain difficult to break down, often keeping matches tight, but their attacking play has lacked fluency. Their season so far suggests resilience but not enough cutting edge to dominate opponents.

Rayo Vallecano’s away form has been steady rather than spectacular. They typically sit deep and look to frustrate opponents, hoping to capitalize on counterattacks. While this has earned them some respectable results on the road, they have also dropped points in games where they failed to convert their limited chances.
