Osasuna face Racing Santander at Estadio El Sadar, Pamplona (Iruñea) on Sunday, Oct 18 at 2:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the LaLiga, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Osasuna come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Racing Santander, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
