The 2023-24 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Osasuna lock horns with a struggling Almeria side in an important encounter at the Estadio Mediterraneo on Saturday.
Almeria vs Osasuna Preview
Osasuna are currently in 12th place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The away side slumped to a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Almeria, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table at the moment and have been in poor form this season. The hosts edged Las Palmas to a crucial 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
