The 2022-23 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Osasuna take on an impressive Girona side in an important encounter at El Sadar on Sunday.
Osasuna vs Girona Preview
Osasuna are currently in seventh place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The hosts slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Getafe in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Girona, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have punched above their weight over the past year. The Catalan side suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat against Real Betis last week and has a point to prove in this match.
