Real Madrid vs Osasuna Match Preview

Real Madrid is ranked at the 2nd spot with 20 points and comes after three wins a draw, and a loss over the last five matches. Coming fresh from that big win on the road against Barcelona the team will be highly motivated to keep up their good work and try to regain first place.

With 24 goals scored so far, Real Madrid has the best offensive side in the league averaging more than two goals per game and in the last five duels scored a total of 11 goals while managing to find the back of the net at least once in four encounters. Benzema is having a great season with 9 goals - 7 assists while Vinicius Junior with 5 goals - 2 assists has been very helpful to the team. Both of them are expected to play from the start alongside Rodrygo.

Osasuna, on the other hand, is ranked at 6th place with 18 points and comes after three wins a draw, and a loss over the last five matches. The season started pretty well for them considering their modest goals and they already have an 11-point distance from the relegation zone.

They have scored 14 goals so far which is pretty decent but also conceded a total of 13 goals. In the last five matches, they failed to keep a clean sheet in four encounters as they conceded seven goals. This can be a real problem here as tonight they will face a team who is playing highly attacking football right now. They will miss their first-choice left-back who is suspended and that will leave a big hole in thei defense.

In conclusion, I think Real Madrid can cover -1 goals Asian handicap here. They are playing very well under Ancelotti and winning the Classico against Barcelona confirmed them as number one favorites for the title this season. I doubt they could make another false step now. Osasuna has done great so far but I just do not see them having what it takes to be able to stop Real Madrid at home.
