Osasuna will be bidding to maintain their challenge for a top half finish in La Liga this season on Saturday, as they host Almeria. The visitors will be looking for maximum points themselves in the battle to avoid the drop.
La Liga Preview
The tense battle to remain in the Spanish top-flight continues this weekend, as Almeria will be looking for maximum points to move clear of the bottom three. They come into this fixture sitting 14th in the standings, but they are just two points clear of 18th placed Getafe. They will likely need at least two more victories to maintain their status in the top-flight this term.
Almeria’s recent form would be a huge plus in their battle to stay in the division, as they are the only side in the bottom eight to have won at least two games in their previous three. Their second win over that period was picked up in their previous match, as they registered a hard-fought 2-1 success at home against Elche. Leo Baptiste opened the scoring in that success, before the win was assured early in the second half by Adri Embarba.
Osasuna are still battling for points themselves at this stage of the season, as they will be targeting a top half finish in the La Liga standings. They come into this fixture sitting tenth overall, but they could drop into the bottom half of the table if they stumble to a defeat. However, a victory could see them end the round as high as ninth.
But, they will need to bounce back to form after losing each of their last two in La Liga. Meanwhile, the confidence around the camp may also be low after they were beaten 2-1 in the Copa del Rey final by Real Madrid last weekend.
Osasuna vs Almeria Head to Head
Osasuna has won each of the previous two matches that they have played against Almeria. The most recent of those was a 1-0 success in September. However, Almeria has lost just once in their previous three visits to Osasuna.
Osasuna vs Almeria Prediction
This promises to be an interesting fixture in La Liga this weekend, as both Osasuna and Almeria are fighting for vital points. However, a chance will be taken on the visitors, who have been in slightly better form over their previous three matches.
