Alaves vs Osasuna Match Preview: Squad Updates and Key Absences

The La Liga clash at Estadio Mendizorrotza in Vitoria-Gasteiz kicks off on 2026-04-05 at 19:00 (UTC). Alaves enter the Regular Season - 30 round in 15th place on 31 points with a goal difference of -11, while Osasuna sit 10th on 37 points with a goal difference of -1.

Alaves Availability

Alaves face multiple absences. F. Garcés (Suspension) is sidelined. C. Benavídez (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. Denis Suárez (Yellow Cards) is sidelined due to suspension. In attack, L. Boyé (Foot Injury) is doubtful. As Alaves’ leading scorer with 9 goals and 1 assist, L. Boyé’s status is a major blow if he cannot feature.

Osasuna Availability

Osasuna have one confirmed absentee. Iker Benito (Knee Injury) is sidelined, reducing their attacking depth from the bench. Their main attacking threat A. Budimir, who has 14 goals, remains available and central to their game plan.

Impact Summary

Alaves lose both defensive stability and midfield control through the absences of F. Garcés and Denis Suárez, while the potential loss of 9-goal forward L. Boyé would significantly reduce their attacking output. Osasuna’s primary creators and finishers, including A. Budimir and Rubén García (5 assists), are available, leaving their first-choice attacking structure largely intact despite the sidelined Iker Benito.
