The 2022-23 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Osasuna lock horns with Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side in an important encounter at the Estadio el Sadar on Saturday.
Osasuna vs Real Madrid Preview
Real Madrid are currently in second place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. Los Blancos thrashed Elche by a comprehensive 4-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Osasuna, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Pamplona-based outfit played out a 0-0 stalemate against Real Valladolid last week and will need to take it up a notch to stand a chance in this fixture.
