Real Sociedad and Osasuna, the third worst home team and third worst visitor in LaLiga EA Sports, will face each other in a clash in which it will be seen which of the two teams wants to get closer to the European positions in the table.
Osasuna arrives with hopes of achieving the first victory of the season away from home, after two defeats and two draws, after seeing its untouchable status at El Sadar end with last week's defeat against Betis.
The 1-2 defeat against Betis stopped the brilliant streak that the rojillos were accumulating at El Sadar. The fortress collapsed with the final goal from Chimy Ávila who did not skimp on celebrating the final goal. As always, the fans said goodbye to their fans with applause and encouragement ahead of the eleventh day of the championship.
“It is a challenge for many reasons. We come from a negative result, we want to win away from home and I know that many fans are going to go. There are incentives to give our best,” the coach indicated at a press conference.
Ahead, the opportunity to win a week later on a field that until last year was cursed. Those from Arrasate took the three points from the Reale Arena for the first time since 2005 to overthrow the statistics with Ante Budimir's goal from a corner kick.
“We have a high-level rival in front of us. They have a lot of quality, with an associative game that is closest to Barcelona, which would be the greatest exponent. They concede and leave you very little,” he stated about the team led by Imanol Alguacil.
The Valencian coach has his entire squad available for the first time this year. Moreno has surprised by leaving Rubén García, a regular starter this year, out of the call due to discomfort. There remains the question of his replacement. Íker Muñoz and Kike Barja return.
The team's pending issue continues to be adding three away from Pamplona. Tajonar's men succumbed in Girona (4-0) and Vallecas (3-1) and then improved their image in Valencia (0-0) and Getafe (1-1).
Vicente Moreno has called up 23 players for the eleventh day of LaLiga EA Sports: S. Herrera, Aitor Fdez, Nacho Vidal, Juan Cruz, Unai García, Herrando, Areso, R. Peña, Boyomo, Abel Bretones, Catena, Torró, Moncayola , Ibáñez, Aimar, Kike Barja, Moi Gómez, Iker Muñoz, Raúl, Budimir, Bryan, Jose Arnaiz and I. Benito.
Imanol Alguacil's team will seek to take a step forward with a victory that would confirm the improvement and good dynamics that the team has carried in this last month of competition.
After two consecutive victories after the international break (0-1 against Girona and 1-2 against Maccabi Tel Aviv), the txuri urdin will look for the third consecutive victory with which to get closer to their presumed direct rivals for the UEFA places.
To achieve this, the realistic coach is counting on the return of three very important players in his team: Álex Remiro, Aihen Muñoz and Igor Zubeldia. All three aim to be at the game tomorrow at 9:00 p.m.
Arsen Zakharyan and Hamari Traoré are dropped from the squad due to injury, and also, although due to a technical decision, Urko González de Zárate and Jon Magunazelaia.
