The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Granada lock horns with Osasuna on Friday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Granada are in 17th place in the La Liga standings and have endured a miserable league campaign so far. The away side stunned Sevilla with a 1-0 victory earlier this month and will need a similar result from this fixture.
Osasuna, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have excelled this year. The Pamplona-based outfit edged Villarreal to a 2-1 victory for the weekend and will be confident going into this match.
Osasuna vs Granada Head-to-Head
Granada have a good record against Osasuna and have won eight out of 18 matches played between the two teams. Osasuna have managed five victories against Granada and will want to cut the deficit on Friday.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in January this year and ended in a 3-1 victory for Osasuna. Granada were poor on the day and cannot afford a similar performance this week.
