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 team is unbeaten in four consecutive La Liga matches. However, in this series, they have only secured one victory (against Real Sociedad – 2:1), while drawing the other three matches. Notably, in the last round, they avoided a defeat against Mallorca by equalizing in the 94th minute (1:1). Vicente Moreno's side is currently in ninth place, four points behind the European competition spots.
Defender Enzo Boyomo will miss the match due to a yellow card suspension.
- The club has won only once in their last 11 league matches (7 draws, 3 losses).
- The number "1" has appeared in the final scoreline of 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 two consecutive La Liga matches for the first time this season. After an away defeat to Espanyol (0:1), Carlo Ancelotti's side drew at home against Atletico (1:1). The team remains at the top of the table, but their lead over Atletico is now just one point, and two points over Barcelona.
Due to injuries, defenders David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao, and Dani Carvajal, as well as midfielder Lucas Vazquez, are out of the game.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 8 of Real's last 11 league matches.
- Both teams have scored in 5 of Real Madrid's last 7 La Liga matches.
- In 11 of the club's last 12 away La Liga matches, no more than one goal was 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 loss of points could drop them to third place. Therefore, the team cannot afford to slip up against opponents in the lower half of the table or outside the European competition zone. In their last away match, Real surprisingly lost to Espanyol, and I have no doubt that 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 has consistently secured three points after each loss.
Additionally, in their previous league encounters, Osasuna has not beaten Real Madrid in their last 19 matches, suffering 14 defeats (with five draws). In the last four head-to-head meetings, Real Madrid has secured four clean-sheet victories.
My prediction: Real Madrid Win
