Real Madrid are set to play host to Osasuna at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in what appears to be a routine La Liga task for the hosts at first glance.
Fresh from beating arch-rivals Barcelona 2-1 in the latest El Clasico edition, Real Madrid will be gunning for another win here. That would see ‘Los Blancos’ eclipse the point tally they held after ten league matches during their most recent title-winning La Liga campaign by four points. Carlo Ancelotti’s men have been a force to be reckoned with at home of late, going unbeaten in their last 13 La Liga matches on home turf (W9, D4) since a 2-1 loss to Levante in January 2021. Ruthless in the front third, ‘Los Merengues’ netted 2+ goals ten times during that 13-match sequence, which includes a 2-0 victory over Osasuna in May. In fact, the hosts have come out victorious in each of their last 11 top-flight H2Hs in Madrid, a run they embarked on in April 2007.
In the meantime, Osasuna have been nothing short of outstanding away from home this term, winning all four La Liga trips so far while scoring 2+ goals on each occasion. Taking the field as the only La Liga side to boast a 100% away record this term, ‘Los Rojillos’ will be looking to register five consecutive La Liga away wins for the first time in their top-flight history. Curiously, Jagoba Arrasate’s men have come from behind to win two of their four league fixtures on the road this season, further highlighting their fighting spirit. The action-packed, high-scoring second-half theme is on the cards here, considering 75% of Osasuna’s La Liga away games this season have featured 2+ goals beyond half-time (3/4).
