Preview: Osasuna vs. Real Madrid

Sports Mole previews Saturday's La Liga meeting between Osasuna and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will be looking to maintain their pursuit of the La Liga leaders when they travel to Osasuna on Saturday.

Carlo Ancelotti's side, who have won their last five league matches, sit three points adrift of joint leaders Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Osasuna will be looking for three points for very different reasons, as they seek to move away from the relegation zone. Javi Gracia's men sit one point clear of the bottom three after losing four of their last six league games.

Los Rojillos held Malaga to a 3-3 draw in the Copa del Rey last week.

Real Madrid come into the match off the back of their Champions League success over Copenhagen on Wednesday.

Gracia could decide to bring Oriol Riera back into the Osasuna side after the striker missed the draw at Malaga.

Ancelotti is expected to recall Diego Lopez in goal, while Angel di Maria could start after coming off the bench against Copenhagen.
