Real Madrid
Real Madrid's record unbeaten streak in the league, which lasted 42 matches (31 wins and 11 draws), came to an end last round. The defeat occurred at the Santiago Bernabeu, and it was against their fierce rivals Barcelona (0-4). As a result, Real became the last team in La Liga to have their undefeated record broken. Carlo Ancelotti's squad remains in second place, but now trails Barcelona by 9 points, as the Catalans won their match last round while the capital team's game was postponed due to flooding in Valencia.
Defenders Dani Carvajal and David Alaba, as well as midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, will miss the encounter due to injuries.
- The Madrid side has won 6 of their last 8 La Liga games (1 draw and 1 defeat).
- No more than three goals were scored in 9 of Real's last 12 league encounters.
- At least one team failed to score in 7 of Real's last 9 home matches in La Liga.
Osasuna
Osasuna approaches this encounter with back-to-back wins in the league, a feat they hadn't achieved since February of this year. Vicente Moreno's men first triumphed away against Real Sociedad (2-0), and then secured a 1-0 home victory over Valladolid. Notably, the club has not conceded in consecutive league matches for more than eight months. As a result, Osasuna has climbed to fifth place, trailing fourth-placed Villarreal only on additional indicators (while the Valencians have a game in hand).
- The club has not lost in 6 of their last 7 La Liga encounters (4 wins and 2 draws).
- A maximum of three goals were scored in 6 of Osasuna's last 7 matches in La Liga.
- The Pamplona-based team has not been defeated in the second 45 minutes in their last seven league games (2 wins and 5 draws).
Real Madrid vs Osasuna: Match Prediction
The capital club is determined to make amends to their fans for the defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu against Barcelona in their last match. Real cannot afford to drop points, as they are now 9 points behind their principal rivals, and given the current form of the Catalans, overcoming such a handicap will be extremely difficult. Although Osasuna is in good form, they have a poor track record against Madrid.
In the previous 18 head-to-head La Liga encounters, Real has secured 13 wins, with five matches ending in a draw. Moreover, Real hasn't lost to Osasuna at home for 20 years. In the last nine face-to-face meetings at this stadium in La Liga, Real has won seven times with a margin of two or more goals. I predict that Real Madrid will confidently dispatch their opponent once again.
My prediction is Real Madrid with a handicap (-2) with odds of .
