Osasuna vs Elche prediction, preview, team news and more | La Liga 2021-22

Osasuna host Elche at the Isidro Diaz de Mera in La Liga on Monday, with both sides being in similar form of late.

Following their strong start to the season, Osasuna have struggled recently and are currently 10th in the league. Jagoba Arrasate's side are winless in their last five league games and have lost their last three on the trot. They will look to bounce back with a win against Elche.

Elche, on the other hand, have been woeful this season. New interim manager Pablo Manusovich's side have only managed two wins this season and are currently 18th in the league, two points away from safety. They will look to turn things around with a win against Osasuna on Monday.

Both sides desperately need a win and that should make for an interesting matchup.
