- Real Madrid with home advantage
- Osasuna only won one of five away games
- Most recently Real Madrid won 4-2 in Pamplona
This coming Saturday, 09. Real Madrid welcome Osasuna to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu for an eagerly awaited La Liga clash. The madridistas, under the direction of coach Carlo Ancelotti, are currently second in the table with 24 points. Despite their recent inconsistent form, with four wins and one draw in their last five league games, the title contenders are determined to further cement their claim at the top of the table. They have recently been criticized for their inconsistent defending, which has already cost them several points.
Osasuna arrive on the back of an impressive run that has propelled Vicente Moreno’s side to fifth place in the table. With a record of three wins in their last five games, the team from Pamplona have proven that they are difficult to beat on foreign turf. However, the small goal difference could become a problem for the visitors, as they only have a positive goal difference of one goal. The team will rely on a committed defense and effective counter-attacks to take at least a point from the capital.
History shows that Real Madrid usually have the upper hand in this pairing. However, Osasuna have proven this season that they are capable of upsetting even top teams. With the mental momentum from their previous successes, the visitors could spring a surprise. It promises to be a tactically interesting match that could be decided above all by Osasuna’s fighting spirit and the individual class of the Madrilenians.

Real Madrid Form & Balance Check
Real Madrid are currently under immense pressure after the Whites suffered defeats in their last two games. A 4-0 home defeat to arch-rivals FC Barcelona in ‘El Clásico’, which exposed Real’s defense, was followed by a disappointing 3-1 defeat to AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League, in which Carlo Ancelotti’s side lost control, especially late on. Nevertheless, there are bright spots in the team, most notably Kylian Mbappé, whose dynamic play continues to build hope. The French star striker is a key player in La Liga and Real are still second in the table with 24 points, reflecting the quality and depth of the squad.
Real Madrid need more bright spots
Despite the aforementioned setbacks, Real Madrid have also shown great quality at this stage of the season. This can be seen in convincing victories such as the 2-0 win over Villarreal and the 5-2 win over Borussia Dortmund, where they particularly excelled offensively. Such performances illustrate Real Madrid’s ability to deliver top performances at crucial moments. However, the balance between offense and defense is a weak point that coach Ancelotti must address in order to bring better order to the pitch against Osasuna. The deployment of Lucas Vázquez and the midfield engine orchestrated by Jude Bellingham have also been crucial to the team’s flow in recent games.
