The upcoming La Liga clash between Osasuna and Real Madrid promises to be an exciting encounter as the Spanish champions look to regain their winning form. Real Madrid travels to El Sadar on Saturday with one goal in mind: securing all three points to maintain their position at the top of the La Liga standings.



Osasuna’s Current Form

Osasuna, sitting in 9th place on the table with 31 points from 23 matches, have been showing resilience, going unbeaten in their last four league games. However, their recent form against Real Madrid leaves much to be desired. The Pamplona-based club has been on a five-game losing streak against Los Blancos in all competitions, including a heavy 4-0 defeat in the previous meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu in November.


Despite the tough opposition, Osasuna is still fighting for a potential European spot. Their recent 1-1 draw against Mallorca was a hard-fought one, with Enzo Boyomo saving the day with a last-minute equalizer. Osasuna’s form at home, with the fifth-best home record in La Liga this season, gives them hope going into this fixture. 




Real Madrid’s Current Form

Real Madrid is coming off a dramatic 3-2 win against Manchester City in their Champions League knockout stage, which has put them in a favorable position ahead of the second leg. However, their La Liga form has been less than stellar in recent matches, with just one point from their last two league games, including a 1-0 loss to Espanyol and a 1-1 draw in the Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid.


Despite this, Real Madrid remains at the top of the La Liga table, just one point ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid and two points clear of Barcelona. The team's away record is solid, with 22 points from 12 matches, though they have only won half of their away fixtures this season.




Team News

Osasuna:

  • Raul Garcia is still sidelined with an ankle injury, while Enzo Boyomo is suspended due to a yellow card.
  • The starting lineup could include Jorge Herrando in defense, while Ante Budimir will continue leading the attack, having scored 12 goals this season.

Real Madrid:

  • Key injuries continue to plague the squad, with Lucas Vazquez, David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao, and Dani Carvajal all out.
  • Carlo Ancelotti could name an unchanged starting XI, with Raul Asencio and Aurelien Tchouameni continuing in defense. Luka Modric may start on the bench as Dani Ceballos enjoys a run in the team.


Osasuna vs Real Madrid: Predicted Lineups

Osasuna Possible Lineup:

  • Herrera; Areso, Herrando, Catena, Cruz; Ruben Garcia, Moncayola, Torro, Oroz, Zaragoza; Budimir


Real Madrid Possible Lineup:

  • Courtois; Valverde, Tchouameni, Asencio, Mendy; Camavinga, Ceballos; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius; Mbappe



Match Prediction

While Osasuna has a solid home record this season, Real Madrid’s attacking firepower and need for a victory make them the favorites in this match. Given Osasuna’s struggles in recent meetings with Los Blancos, it’s expected that Real Madrid will edge out their opponents.


Prediction: Osasuna 1-2 Real Madrid
