Osasuna are currently in 19th place in the La Liga standings and are in danger of being relegated this season. The Pamplona-based outfit held Valencia to a 1-1 draw last weekend and will face a stern test on Sunday.

Granada, on the other hand, have exceeded expectations this season and find themselves in the top half of the table. The away side played out a 2-2 draw against Villarreal in its previous game and will be confident ahead of this weekend's fixture.

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.
