Osasuna 0-0 Levante: Full-Time Result

El Sadar in Pamplona hosts the final fixture of La Liga Jornada 1 on Monday 24 August as Osasuna welcome Levante, who make their return to the top flight. Kick-off is 21:00 CEST. Osasuna are the established La Liga side with a loyal, passionate fanbase and a record of punching above their weight; Levante arrive with promotion-fuelled enthusiasm but the uncertainty of a newly-promoted team finding their feet at a higher level.

Osasuna: organised, physical and at home

Osasuna are one of La Liga's most reliable over-achievers. They play physically, press intensely and are exceptionally difficult to beat at El Sadar: the stadium's atmosphere and compact layout make it a genuine fortress. Ante Budimir leads the attack with physicality and clinical finishing, supported by the creativity of Aimar Oroz and Moi Gómez. Osasuna won't be playing pretty football, but they will be competitive, organised and hard to break down. A home win against a newly-promoted side to start the season is very much on the cards.

Levante: promoted and ready to compete

Levante return to La Liga with momentum from their promotion campaign. They are one of the Valencia region's most historic clubs, with a passionate following and a team built on collective work ethic. Their attacking players showed quality throughout Segunda División, but La Liga is a significant step up. Away from their Estadio Ciudad de Valencia, Levante will need to be compact and organised to avoid a heavy opening-day defeat at one of the division's more hostile grounds.

Key match-up

Budimir vs Levante's centre-backs is the key battle. The Croatian striker's aerial ability and movement in the box make him a constant problem for defensive pairings not used to his intensity. If Levante's back four can contain him, they have a chance of something.
