Osasuna vs Real Sociedad prediction, preview, team news and more | La Liga 2020-21

The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action with its last round of fixtures for the season as Real Sociedad take on Osasuna at the El Sadar Stadium on Saturday. Real Sociedad have been impressive this season and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.

Osasuna are in 11th place in the La Liga standings at the moment and have been fairly inconsistent this season. The Pamplona-based outfit suffered a 2-1 defeat against Atletico Madrid last week and will want to bounce back in this match.

Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are currently in fifth place in the league table and have enjoyed an excellent campaign. The Basque giants thrashed Real Valladolid by a 4-1 margin in their previous game and will want a similar result this weekend.

Osasuna vs Real Sociedad Prediction

Real Sociedad have to make do without some of their star players in this game and will be wary of an upset. The likes of Mikel Oyarzabal and Alexander Isak have had a massive impact on La Real's fortunes this season and are their team's best players at the moment.

Osasuna gave Atletico Madrid a run for their money last weekend and will want to take it up a notch on Saturday. Real Sociedad are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to take all three points away from this fixture.

Prediction: Osasuna 1-3 Real Sociedad
