Each team’s lineup is based on their previous 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 just two points ahead, but Diego Simeone's side still has a game in hand. Atletico is a potential leader of the championship, currently based on points lost. These results were achieved after a seven-match winning streak in La Liga.
- No more than three goals were scored in 14 of Atletico's last 17 league matches.
- The number "1" appeared in the final scoreline in 10 of the club's last 13 La Liga games.
- The Madrid side won the second half in their last seven La Liga matches.
Osasuna
The team from Pamplona has dropped to 10th place in the standings but is only five points away from the European competition zone. This happened after failing to win any of their last six La Liga matches. During this series, the club lost to Real Madrid (0-4) and Athletic Bilbao (1-2) and drew four times.
Forward Bryan Zaragoza is sidelined due to injury.
- The club has avoided defeat in 10 of their last 13 league matches (4 wins and 6 draws).
- At least two goals were scored in 9 of Osasuna's last 11 La Liga games.
- Osasuna has only one second-half victory in their last nine La Liga matches (5 draws and 3 losses).
Atletico Madrid vs. Osasuna: Match Prediction
Diego Simeone's side has avoided significant setbacks this season, unlike their closest competitors. The team has suffered only one defeat in their last 19 La Liga matches, securing 13 wins and 5 draws. Atletico is known for preferring a solid defensive approach and defeating 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 achieved 7 wins and 2 draws at home this season. The club has won all five of their previous home matches in La Liga. Osasuna has only one victory in their last eight away games in La Liga (4 draws and 3 losses). It is also worth noting their head-to-head record: in the previous 12 league encounters, Atletico has won 11 times, while Osasuna won only once, in a match that had no significance for the Madrid side in the 37th round of last season.
