The Osasuna squad begins this Monday the preparation of a fundamental month for their interests in which they will dispute five crucial meetings to try to achieve the goal of permanence before May.
Getafe, Villarreal, Valencia, Celta and Elche will be the rivals to which the men of Jagoba Arrasate They will have to face up to get as many points as possible and seal, or at least get closer to, the longed-for salvation.

Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid are called to fight for LaLiga Santander until, probably the last two days, while Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao will seek to get into the Europa League at all costs.
The complexity of these duels is evident by the entity and the good campaign that all of them are carrying out.
