Osasuna, a mid-table team since returning to La Liga in 2019/20, finished tenth and eleventh in three seasons. Last year, they finished 7th and secured Europa Conference League Qualifiers. Osasuna was close to winning their first major trophy, but lost to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey finals. Currently, they are 12th with 19 points in 18 rounds.

Almeria, finishing 17th last year, is currently the worst team in the league, ten points away from the safe zone, and this season, they are likely to face Rojiblancos for a trip to La Liga 2.

Ruben Garcia and Johan Mojica, who missed previous games due to injuries, are not training with the team and may miss the upcoming game. Coach Jagoba Arrasate criticized the team’s performance after a 3:2 loss to Mallorca, stating that set pieces were crucial and they needed improvement.

Defensive midfielder Iddrisu Baba will serve a one-game suspension against Osasuna after receiving his fifth yellow in the previous game. Baba left to join Ghana’s national team for the Africa Cup of Nations, while Marciano Sanca and Houboulang Mendes also left for their national teams. Injuries leave Ibrahima Kone, Gonzalo Melero, Marko Milovanovic, Martin Svidersky, and Luis Suarez sidelined.
