The 2023-24 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Osasuna lock horns with an impressive Real Sociedad side in an important clash at the Estadio el Sadar on Saturday.
Osasuna vs Real Sociedad Preview
Osasuna are currently in 14th place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly inconsistent so far this season. The home side slumped to a damaging 3-1 defeat at the hands of Villarreal last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate this season. La Real were held to a 0-0 stalemate by RB Salzburg in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.

Osasuna vs Real Sociedad Prediction
Real Sociedad have an impressive squad at their disposal and have an exceptional record at El Sadar. La Real have dominated Osasuna in their own backyard over the past year and will look to extend their streak this weekend.
Osasuna have failed to meet expectations this season and have a point to prove going into this game. Real Sociedad are the better team at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
