Villarreal are prepared for their late push to secure a spot in the Champions League, with their next game being one against a tricky opponent.
With the season winding down, Villarreal have been in great form and they enter this match on the back of a home win over Espanyol in the last round, which saw them secure the fourth place in the standings, at least for a while.
On the other hand, Osasuna are eighth in the standings and pushing for a spot in Europe. They enter this game on a five game streak without a loss and they'll certainly be in the mood to Spoil Villarreal's plans in this match.
So, both teams will be looking for points from this game and we can see it being very exciting, but who will emerge victorious from this duel?
