The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of games this weekend as Levante take on Osasuna on Sunday. Both teams have issues to address and have a point to prove in this game.

Osasuna are in 10th place in the La Liga standings and have been inconsistent this season. The Pamplona-based side played out a 1-1 draw against Elche last weekend and will need to step up in this match.

Levante, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table at the moment and have struggled this year. The hosts suffered a 3-1 defeat against Real Betis in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Osasuna are in the middle of a shocking slump at the moment and have managed only three points in their last six league games. The away side could face a relegation battle this season and cannot afford another slip-up on Sunday.

Levante have endured an abysmal La Liga campaign so far and will need to play out of their skins to avoid relegation. Osasuna have been the better team this season and should be able to win this game.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
