Expect a high-scoring encounter in the upcoming match. The Pamplona side looks strong at home, having suffered only one defeat in their last 10 home matches. They succeed in earning points at home due to effective finishing – their scoring streak in the league is now 22 matches.
The Madrid side is also dangerous in away fixtures. In their last 14 away La Liga games, they failed to score only against Athletic, Atletico, and Barcelona.
