The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of games this weekend as Levante take on Osasuna on Sunday. Both teams have issues to address and have a point to prove in this game.
Osasuna are in 10th place in the La Liga standings and have been inconsistent this season. The Pamplona-based side played out a 1-1 draw against Elche last weekend and will need to step up in this match.
Levante, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table at the moment and have struggled this year. The hosts suffered a 3-1 defeat against Real Betis in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Levante have endured an abysmal La Liga campaign so far and will need to play out of their skins to avoid relegation. Osasuna have been the better team this season and should be able to win this game.
