Real Madrid
Real Madrid's record unbeaten streak in the league, which lasted 42 matches (31 wins and 11 draws), was halted last round. The team suffered a defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu, no less to their arch-rivals Barcelona (0:4). As a result, Real became the last club in La Liga to lose a match this season. Carlo Ancelotti's side remains in second place, but now trails the Catalans by 9 points, as Barcelona won their last match while Real's game was postponed due to flooding in Valencia.
Defenders Daniel Carvajal and David Alaba, as well as midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, will miss the encounter due to injuries.
- Madrid has won 6 out of their last 8 La Liga games (1 draw and 1 loss).
- No more than three goals have been scored in 9 out of the last 12 Real Madrid league matches.
- In 7 out of 9 previous home matches in La Liga, at least one team failed to score.
Osasuna
Osasuna approaches this match with back-to-back league victories, a feat not achieved since February of this year. Under the guidance of Vicente Moreno, they first defeated Real Sociedad away (2:0), followed by a home victory over Valladolid (1:0). Notably, the club has not conceded in two consecutive league matches for over eight months. As a result, Osasuna has climbed to fifth place, trailing fourth-placed Villarreal only on additional indicators (while Villarreal has a game in hand).
- The club has not lost in 6 out of their last 7 La Liga encounters (4 wins and 2 draws).
- A maximum of three goals have been scored in 6 out of the last 7 Osasuna matches in La Liga.
- Osasuna has not lost in the second half 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 in front of their fans for the loss at the Santiago Bernabeu to Barcelona in their last match. Real Madrid cannot afford to lose points as they are now 9 points behind their fierce rivals, and given the current form of the Catalans, recovering such a handicap will be extremely difficult. Although Osasuna is in good form, they have a poor record against Madrid.
In the previous 18 head-to-head La Liga encounters, Real has secured 13 wins and there have been five draws. Moreover, Madrid has not lost to Osasuna at home for 20 years. In the last nine direct confrontations 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 comfortably dispatch their opponents once again.
My prediction is
Real Madrid with a handicap (-2) at odds of 1.83.
