La Liga Jornada 2 opens at El Sadar on Monday 24 August 2026 (19:30 CEST) as Osasuna host Levante. Budimir and Oroz lead the Pamplona side after a busy opening weekend; Levante travel north looking to build on their Jornada 1 away display with Tunde and Romero in attack.
Osasuna: team news & form
Osasuna's compact 4-4-2 under Vicente Moreno relies on Budimir's aerial presence and Torró's screening in midfield. El Sadar is a difficult venue early in the season — expect a high-intensity press from the rojillos in the first half.

Levante: team news & form
Levante's 4-3-3 features Mandi at the back and Iván Romero as the main outlet on the counter. Away from the Estadi Ciutat de València they tend to sit deeper and look for transitions through Carlos Álvarez.
Tactical battle
Osasuna will dominate territory and aim to feed Budimir from wide crosses; Levante need discipline in the block and efficiency when they win the ball. Set pieces could decide a tight Basque–Valencian clash.

- Aimar Oroz (Osasuna, MID): creative link between midfield and attack.
- Iván Romero (Levante, FWD): counter-attacking value on the road.
- Predictor: Osasuna 2–1 Levante.
