LaLiga has set the date and time for Osasuna's La Liga match against Málaga. The fixture will be played on Sunday, November 22 at 18:30 at El Sadar stadium.

The league explained this clash will be the first match after the international break, which runs from November 9 to 17. "En lo que concierne al Málaga, se medirá a Club Atlético Osasuna el domingo 22 de noviembre a las 18.30 horas en El Sadar, en lo que será el primer partido tras la ventana de selecciones," LaLiga said.

For Osasuna, this fixture arrives as they seek stability in the table. The Pamplona-based side currently sit tenth in LaLiga with 11 points from nine games, according to verified standings data. Their last result was a 2-0 win over Racing Santander on October 18, with goals from Ante Budimir and Asier Osambela. The team has scored 13 goals this season, averaging 1.44 per game, but has conceded 15. Their record of three wins, two draws, and four losses leaves them 16 points behind the leaders, Barcelona. In their recent form over the last five matches, they have recorded one win, one draw, and three losses, including the 5-2 defeat to Real Betis on October 11 and the 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano on September 19.

Osasuna's next challenge is a trip to Sevilla on October 26, a match that precedes this international break. Málaga, meanwhile, come into this game needing to improve their situation. The Andalusian club, now managed by Jagoba Arrasate with Darko Brasanac as an assistant coach, sit 17th with 42 points, just three above the relegation places. Arrasate took over this summer following the dismissal of Luis Miguel Ramis. The team has managed just one win in its last five matches, a statistic that shows the need for a reaction at El Sadar.

The schedule sets up a key reunion for both teams in late November. Osasuna will look to use their home advantage at El Sadar to collect points and move closer to European spots, while Málaga will try to break their poor run away from home. Striker Ante Budimir, the team's top scorer with seven goals in nine appearances, will be one of the offensive weapons the hosts rely on. So far this season, the team has scored 10 goals and conceded 18, resulting in a goal difference of minus eight.
