Osasuna vs Real Madrid: Lineups, Predictions & Betting Tips

La Liga: Osasuna vs Real Madrid Preview

Osasuna hosts Real Madrid at Estadio El Sadar on Saturday, with the visitors looking to extend their dominance over the home side. The recent head-to-head results show a clear advantage for Real Madrid, with the team winning four out of the last six meetings between the two sides.

Osasuna's best results against Real Madrid in recent years have been a draw and a single win, which may give them some hope as they look to pull off a major upset. However, their last meeting saw Real Madrid take all three points with a 1-0 win.

Given the stark difference in performance and outcomes when these two teams meet, Real Madrid is predicted to win this fixture. Osasuna's prospects may rely heavily on them being able to cancel out Real Madrid's attacking options and catch them on the break with quick transitions.

The advice is to consider a double chance of either a draw or a Real Madrid win as the most probable outcomes. Considering past matches and current form it seems unlikely that Osasuna will outscore their opponents given the projected goal expectations.

Real Madrid's ability to control games and dictate the pace of matches should see them create more goal-scoring opportunities than their hosts who will likely sit deep and look for swift counter-attacks. The bookmaker odds reflect the expectation that this will be a tough encounter for Osasuna with the home side at longer odds than the draw or away win.

This match could be one of few chances for Osasuna to show they can stand against top La Liga teams and cause an upset but based on previous meetings Real Madrid should have enough quality to see them through to another win.
