Osasuna
Osasuna are a modest club who are happy to be just in La Liga. They do tend to push as high as they can and ended up as high as ninth in the La Liga table last season. While it may not be too likely that Alessio Lisci’s side will do as well this time around, one suspects that they will be happy if they end up in the top half of the table.
Los Rojillos are 10th in the league table at the moment. Osasuna have picked up 30 points from 24 matches and are doing well right now.
Osasuna will head into the La Liga match against Real Madrid this weekend on the back of a goalless draw with Elche away from home in the league. It came after a 2-1 victory over Celta de Vigo on the road in La Liga, which followed a 2-2 draw with Villarreal at home in the league.
