Osasuna vs Huesca prediction, preview, team news and more | La Liga 2020-21

Osasuna welcome La Liga whipping boys Huesca to the Estadio El Sadar in Pamplona in round 10 of the 2020-21 La Liga season.

The visitors from Aragon are rock bottom of the table, without a win this season; while Osasuna have 10 points from eight games, leaving them in 13th place.

Two losses prior to the international break tempered the optimism surrounding Osasuna, but those came against tough opposition. They first lost to Atletico Madrid at home, a 3-1 loss that was closer than the scoreline suggested.

A narrow 1-0 loss away to Sevilla followed, leaving Los Rojillos manager Jagoba Arrasate with plenty to ponder in the international break.

Huesca were left bemoaning their luck once again, as the Oscenses played out a 1-1 draw at home against Eibar, following their 4-1 away loss to Real Madrid.

The home side went behind in the first half, but Rafa Mir's excellent header in the 67th minute earned a point in a game Huesca dominated.
