Osasuna desperately need points on Sunday, Jan 3 at 3:00 PM in the LaLiga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Real Sociedad come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Osasuna travel struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Real Sociedad won their last outing, while Osasuna suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Real Sociedad and Osasuna have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (5W–1D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Real Sociedad won 3–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Real Sociedad clear favorites, but Osasuna have shown they can grind out results. Expect Real Sociedad to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
