Osasuna are set to take on Real Valladolid at the Estadio El Sadar in their La Liga Matchday 12 tie on Sunday evening.
Osasuna enjoyed a strong start to their season, winning four of their opening five games. However, they have been struggling to pick up points of late, winning just one of their last six La Liga outings and are coming off a 1-1 draw against Girona.
Jagoba Arrasate’s side now sit eighth in the La Liga standings on 17 points, one point outside the European places and three above 11th-placed Valladolid. They will be looking to add to that tally as they hope to climb into the much coveted European places.
Real Valladolid, meanwhile, endured a sluggish start to their campaign, picking up just one win in their opening six games. However, Pacheta’s side have hit a good patch in the recent weeks, picking up three victories and one draw from their subsequent five games.
The run has seen them rise to 11th place in the league standings with 14 points so far, just one outside the top half and three behind Osasuna. Therefore they will be looking to maintain the momentum as they hope to break into the top 10 places.
They picked up a hard-fought 1-0 win over high-flying Real Sociedad in their last league game, and should be buzzing with confidence.
