Match Facts: Villarreal (7th, 9 pts)
- Fran Escriba's side have thrived in the opening weeks of the campaign and kept up their unbeaten LaLiga Santander run in midweek by securing a point away to table-topping Real Madrid.
- Summer signing Nicola Sansone has slotted in seamlessly and already looks like a key cog in the Yellow Submarine's machine. The Italian has three goals to his name for his new club.
Osasuna (20th, 2 pts)
- The Pamplona outfit have found it somewhat tough going since being promoted back to the top flight. They are yet to win, with three losses and two draws to show from their five fixtures to date, but are remaining upbeat.
- Indeed, Osasuna coach Enrique Martin sounded a determined note about his team's chances of pulling off an upset at El Madrigal. "We'll work hard to try to get three points, however difficult that prospect might appear on paper," he said in the build-up.
