Real Sociedad will lock horns with Osasuna in the 26th game week of the La Liga this weekend at Reale Arena. Match day is set for 27th February 2022 at 20:30 EAT.

Meanwhile, Osasuna has been struggling to keep it together with their performances throughout this season. The inconsistent run has seen the team sit in the middle of the table (10th) with 32 points after 25 matches. In their last five matches, they have picked up two wins a draw and two loses. Both teams scored in none of their last five fixtures.
In their last game, Osasuna suffered 0-3 La Liga trashing at the hands of Atlético Madrid. In that game, Osasuna managed 62% possession and 14 shots with four of them on target.
