"After the cup elimination, I think the time has come to concentrate on the league, with the added prize of the
UEFA Cup," said midfielder David Lopez.
"We know that the priority is the league and we must add these three points to feel the calm that we need and be on the road to safety."
Lopez knows his side will need to pay special attention to Racing's strike duo of Nikola Zigic and Pedro Munitis, but he has also warned of the collective threat posed by the Cantabrian side.
"With regards to our opponents, much has been said of their two strikers, but they also have a very solid and difficult side as a whole," Lopez said.
Ziganda, who called up a number of his youth team players for the cup match, again looks likely to be without injured duo Valmiro Valdo and Ludovic Delporte for this weekend's game.
Racing's battling qualities came to the fore again last weekend as they hit back from 2-0 down to claim a point from their trip to Celta Vigo.
Munitis and Cristian Alvarez netted the goals in the second half as Racing, whose only defeat in their last seven matches came against Barcelona at the Nou Camp, kept their place in the top 10.
Veteran forward Munitis said: "We cannot allow what happened to us against Celta to happen in another game. We were able to tie, and we almost got a winner, but we were quickly in trouble at the start of the game."
Racing coach Miguel Angel Portugal, who will be missing injury victims Luis Fernandez, Jose Moraton and David Aganzo, believes the match against Osasuna is a key one for his side.
"It is a very important game because it will define our immediate future," said the coach.
"We will know if we are going to be fighting for the higher places, or if we will be fighting with a group of teams who are likely to have difficulties until the end of the season."
