Osasuna vs Real Madrid: match preview
Osasuna currently sit tenth in the La Liga standings and remain within touching distance of the European qualification spots. They are just five points behind sixth place, which keeps their continental ambitions very much alive. The team are enjoying a solid run of form, with three wins and two draws in their last five matches. After 24 rounds, Osasuna have collected 30 points and are firmly in the mix.
Real Madrid have capitalised on Barcelona’s slip-ups to climb to the top of the La Liga table. Los Blancos have won their last eight league matches and now have 60 points from 24 games. They lead Barcelona by two points, having recently overturned what was once a seven-point deficit. The Royal Club have mounted an impressive comeback, but the title race remains wide open, especially with a decisive head-to-head clash against Barcelona still to come.
Probable line-ups
- Osasuna: Herrera; Rosier, Herrando, Catena, Galan; Torro, Moncayola; Ruben Garcia, V Munoz, Oroz; Budimir
- Real Madrid: Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Asencio, Huijsen, Carreras; Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Guler; Mbappe, Vinicius
Prediction
Real Madrid are the favourites for this encounter, although it is unlikely to be straightforward. Osasuna are in good form and ready to challenge Los Blancos. Nevertheless, I suggest backing a Real Madrid victory.
