Valencia can move to fourth in La Liga on Sunday with a victory when they travel for a tricky match at Osasuna.
Osasuna lost 2-0 at Almería before the international break, but they did advance in the Copa del Rey with a win over Xerez.
Valencia were 3-1 winners over Zaragoza befoer the international break and advanced in the Copa del Rey. The club have been hot, going unbeaten in their last six league matches.
Spanish striker David Silva is set to miss out again due to injury, and they continue to be without Vicente. The club is otherwise fit after a much-need two-week break.
Osasuna, however, are awaiting the fitness of the swine flu-stricken Juanfran, and several others have been questionable, but training including Walter Pandiani.
Valencia face a tough trip, and this could be ripe for an upset. But Valencia will get the benefit of the doubt until further notice.
