The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action this weekend with another set of matches as Osasuna take on SD Huesca at the Estadio El Alcoraz on Saturday. Both teams have struggled this season and will need to step up to the plate in this match.
SD Huesca are rooted to the bottom of the La Liga standings at the moment and cannot afford another defeat this weekend. The home side suffered a 4-1 defeat against Barcelona last weekend and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Osasuna, on the other hand, currently find themselves in 13th place in the league table and have been fairly inconsistent this year. The Pamplona-based outfit played out a 0-0 stalemate with Real Valladolid in its previous game and needs all three points from this fixture.
SD Huesca vs Osasuna Head-to-Head
Osasuna have a good record against SD Huesca and have won six games out of a total of 12 matches played between the two teams. SD Huesca have managed only two victories against Osasuna and will need to be at their best this weekend.
The reverse fixture between the two Spanish sides took place in November last year and ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams gave a good account of themselves on the day and will be intent on securing a victory this weekend.
