The Matchday 24 clash in La Liga between Osasuna and Real Madrid will take place on February 15 at the El Sadar Stadium in Pamplona. Osasuna vs. Real Madrid: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Osasuna
The Pamplona side is unbeaten in four consecutive La Liga matches. However, they have only managed one victory in this streak (against Real Sociedad – 2:1), with the other three games ending in draws. Notably, in the last round, the team avoided defeat against Mallorca away by equalizing in the 94th minute (1:1). Vicente Moreno's side is in ninth place, four points away from the European competition zone.
Defender Enzo Boyomo will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
- The club has won only once in their last 11 league matches (7 draws and 3 losses).
- The number "1" has appeared in the final scoreline in Osasuna's last six La Liga matches.
- No more than three goals have been scored in Osasuna's last seven La Liga games.
Predicted lineup for Osasuna (4-3-3)
Sergio Herrera – Juan Cruz, Jesus Areso, Enzo Boyomo, Alejandro Catena – Lucas Torro, Aimar Oroz, Jon Moncayola – Bryan Zaragoza, Ruben Garcia, Ante Budimir.
Real Madrid
The capital club failed to win in two consecutive La Liga matches for the first time this season. After a 0-1 away defeat to Espanyol, Carlo Ancelotti's side drew 1-1 at home against Atletico. The team remains at the top of the table, but their lead over Atletico is now just one point, and they are two points ahead of Barcelona.
Due to injuries, defenders David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao, and Dani Carvajal, as well as midfielder Lucas Vazquez, are unavailable.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 8 of Real Madrid's last 11 league matches.
- Both teams have scored in 5 of Real Madrid's last 7 La Liga matches.
- In 11 of their last 12 away La Liga matches, no more than one goal has been scored in the first half.
Predicted lineup for Real Madrid (4-3-3)
Thibaut Courtois – Aurelien Tchouameni, Lucas Vazquez, Fran Garcia, Raul Asensio – Federico Valverde, Jude Bellingham, Dani Ceballos – Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, Kylian Mbappe.
Match Prediction: Osasuna vs. Real Madrid
Real Madrid is in a position where any dropped points could see them slip to third place. Therefore, the team cannot afford to make mistakes against opponents in the lower half of the table or outside the European competition zone. In their last away match, Real suffered a shocking defeat to Espanyol, and I have no doubt Carlo Ancelotti has learned from that setback. It's also worth noting that since May 2023, the capital club has suffered only three away defeats in La Liga, and they have consistently secured three points after each loss.
Additionally, in the last 19 La Liga meetings between these teams, Osasuna has never beaten Real Madrid, suffering 14 defeats and drawing five times. In their last four encounters, Real Madrid has secured four clean-sheet victories.
My prediction – Real Madrid to Win
