17/01/2024 11:00 pm
Osasuna and Real Sociedad will be back in action in the Copa del Rey when they meet at Estadio El Sadar for a spot in the quarter-finals on Wednesday night.
While the White and Blues suffered a quarter-final exit last season, the hosts made it all the way to the final before losing narrowly to Real Madrid.
Osasuna head into Wednesday’s contest off the back of suffering their first defeat of the year as they were beaten 2-0 by Barcelona when the sides met in the Supcopa de Espana semi-finals last Thursday.
Prior to that, Los Rojillos kicked off 2024 with two successive wins, beating Almeria 1-0 in La Liga on January 4, three days before securing a 1-0 extra-time victory over Primera Federecion side CD Castellon in their Copa del Rey opener.
After two matches on the road, Jagoba Arrasate’s side – who are currently 13th in the La Liga standings – now return home, where they are on a four-game unbeaten run since early November, including successive victories over Rayo Vallecano and Almeria in their last two games.
Real Sociedad kicked off their quest for a third Copa del Rey title on November 1 when they secured a narrow 1-0 victory over amateur side Bunol, five weeks before claiming a hard-fought 1-0 win over CE Andratx.
The White and Blues also scraped through the round of 32 as they needed a second-half own goal from defender Einar Galilea to claim a 1-0 victory over second-tier Malaga at the Estadio La Rosaleda on January 7.
Imanol Alguacil’s side also suffered their first defeat of the new year at the weekend when they were beaten 2-1 by Athletic Bilbao in La Liga, where they are currently sixth in the table with 32 points from 20 matches.
Since winning the Copa del Rey title in 2020, Real Sociedad have not made it past the quarter-finals, crashing out in the round of 16 in the 2020-21 campaign before back-to-back quarter-final exits in 2022 and 2023 respectively.
