Valencia C.F.-C.A.Osasuna, May the forth be with you!

Good morning, dear Osasunists! Osasuna play one of their five finals until the end of La Liga against Valencia C.F. at Mestalla stadium.

Both teams, Valencia and Osasuna have to do their best in these five last games to fulfill their goals from the beginning of the season. Valencia's goal was to play the Champions League next season, and Osasuna's to play First Division again and avoid relegation to Second Division.

On the one hand, Valencia must counteract the advantage of their rival, Real Sociedad, of five points. On the other hand, Osasuna is only three points ahead of their direct rivals to avoid relegation. As Mendilibar said this week: "Osasuna is the best of the six teams to avoid Second Division posts". They can't waste any opportunity and yesterday's result in Vigo ( 1-1 ) with Athletic is good news, not excellent, for Osasuna supporters.

Valverde, Valencia's coach, won't be able to have Albelda, the captain, on the pitch, but the Basque may complete an excellent round on the bench of a turbulent club with many economical problems and changes in their financial team. However, the coach can make a very competitive team with players like Parejo or Soldado, who is in a very good estate and scored a goal at Anoeta last Sunday, though it didn't help to win the match.

Mendilibar, Osasuna's coach, can't use Armenteros, Annan, or Sisi who are injured. At least, Marc Bertran and Oier are back to the team, but even when Sergio is recovered from his injured, he'll stay in Pamplona. Osasuna play their second consecutive game away and they need to add points in each match before La Liga finish. Osasuna got a draw against Rayo and Real Sociedad, and they haven't won in their last four games.

Finally, We must make a short comment on the day of the game: May 4th ( MAY THE FOURTH/FORCE ) BE WITH YOU is a worldwide event fot those who like the saga STAR WARS in series or films and are called themselves freaks. Osasuna need a big force to avoid relegation and to win the match against Valencia. So, this is my wish for them.

Probable kickoff teams:
Valencia: Guaita, Joao Pereira, Ricardo Costa, Mathieu, Guardado, Parejo, Tino Costa, Canales, Banega, Jonas and Soldado.
Osasuna: Andrés Fernández; Marc Bertrán, Arribas, Miguel Flaño, Oier; Raoul Loé, Silva; Cejudo, Timor, De las Cuevas; Kike Sola. GORA OSASUNA! AUPA ROJILLOS!
