Osasuna, who finished ninth last season, has focused on keeping their core players while making strategic additions to enhance their competitiveness.

Despite the defeats, Osasuna has shown a strong defensive approach and created scoring opportunities, although luck has not favored them. Playing at home may give them the advantage they need.

Rayo Vallecano finished eighth last season and qualified for the Conference League. They have already played two extra matches this season, winning against Belarusian team Neman with an aggregate score of 5-0 in the European playoffs.

Rayo started their league campaign on a solid note, winning 3-1 away at Girona, followed by a draw against Athletic (1-1), and a noteworthy draw against Barcelona. They aim to maintain possession and create multiple attacking chances.
