Spanish football returns with another round of La Liga fixtures this weekend as Osasuna lock horns with Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid side in an important encounter at El Sadar on Saturday.
Osasuna vs Atletico Madrid Preview
Osasuna are currently in ninth place in the La Liga standings and have been plagued by bouts of inconsistency so far this season. The home side eased past a formidable Rayo Vallacano side by a 3-0 margin last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this year. Los Colchoneros suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Levante in their previous league game and have a point to prove this weekend.
