Each team's lineup reflects their starting eleven from their last match in this tournament.
Atletico Madrid
The capital club ended last year with a victory over Barcelona, on their turf (2-1). Following this match, the team overtook the Catalans in the standings by three points. Real Madrid is only two points ahead, but Diego Simeone's side has a game in hand. Atletico is a potential leader of the championship, but only in terms of points lost. These results were achieved after a seven-match winning streak in La Liga.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 14 of Atletico's last 17 league matches.
- The number "1" appeared in the final score in 10 of the club's last 13 La Liga games.
- Atletico has won the second half in their last seven La Liga matches.
Osasuna
The Pamplona side has slipped to 10th place in the standings but is only five points away from the European competition zone. This happened after the team failed to win any of their last six La Liga matches. During this series, the club lost to Real Madrid (0-4) and Athletic (1-2) and drew four times.
Forward Bryan Zaragoza is sidelined due to injury.
- The club has not lost in 10 of their last 13 league matches (4 wins and 6 draws).
- At least two goals have been scored in 9 of Osasuna's last 11 La Liga games.
- Pamplona has only won once in the second half of their last nine La Liga matches (5 draws and 3 losses).
Atletico Madrid vs. Osasuna: Match Prediction
Diego Simeone's team has avoided major setbacks in the current championship, unlike their closest rivals. The team has suffered only one defeat in their last 19 La Liga matches, securing 13 wins and 5 draws. Atletico is known for their solid defense and ability to defeat opponents by one or two goals. I predict that the hosts will win this match with a score of 1-0 or 2-0.
Atletico has secured 7 wins and 2 draws at home in the current championship. The club has won all five of their last home matches in La Liga. Osasuna has only won once in their last eight away La Liga games (4 draws and 3 losses). It's worth mentioning their head-to-head record, with Atletico winning 11 of the last 12 league encounters, while Pamplona managed just one victory, which was in a meaningless 37th round for the capital team last season.
My prediction – Atletico Madrid with a handicap (-1)
