Real Madrid want to stay on track

Real Madrid is a team that always has big ambitions. Especially when the championship title was not won the year before. The start of the new season served to underpin these ambitions, even if there are still a few hiccups at one point or another.

The Real Madrid vs. Osasuna forecast of the bookmakers indicates a clear favourite role for the home side. Everything speaks for the royals, who have clear individual advantages over Osasuna. But watch out: The guests from Pamplona can be very unpleasant on a good day.

The home side will dominate the game and keep tightening the tempo. The offense has been getting more and more into its stride lately, as the three goals in Naples showed. Our Real Madrid vs. Osasuna tip is that they will score more than 2.5 goals.

Real Madrid – Statistics & current form

Real Madrid are back in the mode. The royals don’t always play outstanding football, but get the results to match. During the week they wobbled briefly but won 3-2 against Napoli. Because the crucial players do the right things in the crucial situations and Jude Bellingham can already be counted as one of the most important transfers of the summer in Europe.

In the league alone, the Englishman has already scored six goals. Joselu stands at four goals, otherwise no Real Madrid player has been able to score more than one. But that doesn’t bother the royals, because Real is very fine with the current situation. There have been seven wins from eight games to cheer, and the royals are in first place in the La Liga table, ahead of FC Barcelona and Atletico, both of whom should again be the biggest rivals in the fight for the title.

There has been one slip-up in all competitive matches so far, the derby defeat away at Atletico. Otherwise, Real Madrid were stable and worthy of a title contender. The opponents were often played tired, then they struck. The 21 points on the account so far are therefore fully justified.

Real Madrid: Especially the defence convinces

Apart from the game against Atletico Madrid, Real’s defence certainly showed its class. Six goals conceded in eight games is a very good number, which also comes about because the royals manage to stand deeper at times, let the opponent come and endure those moments. Having the best defence in the league is immediately also a reference to two elements at once.

On the one hand, Real Madrid has seen that FC Barcelona won the championship last season primarily because of its outstanding defence, and on the other hand, this conceals its own lack of width in the offensive. Against Osasuna, the next win is expected and the Real Madrid vs. Osasuna odds show that the probability is very high.

It has been noticeable recently that Real Madrid have been able to increase their offensive output. The royals also showed this during the week against Napoli. Therefore, before the Real Madrid vs. Osasuna match, our prediction is that more than 2.5 goals will be scored.

Predicted Real Madrid line-up:

Osasuna – Statistics & current form

Osasuna from Pamplona can be a very good football team on a good day. The problem: those good days have been a bit scarce lately. Of course, the team is in midfield and can live quite well with the yield, but something more would have been possible. La Liga is currently in a bit of a state of flux, becoming a bit more offensive again, and so far Osasuna hasn’t been able to fully cope with that.

Ten points from eight games and ninth place in the table before the matchday don’t read too badly either. The problem is that there has only been one win from the last five league games. However, that was also the last game, away at Deportivo Alaves, which Osasuna won 2-0. It was another of those games that coach Jagoba Arrasate loves.

For Osasuna, compactness is important. The ten goals conceded are still within reason, but the nine own goals are not surprising at all. For Osasuna, it will be a matter of getting even more structure into their own game in the coming games and adding a few more percentage points.

Osasuna not to be underestimated away

Osasuna have won their last two competitive matches away from home. Nobody should underestimate the team there, because the guests are not without danger, especially when they have to do less for the game and have spaces. Quick counter-attacks as well as resting balls are always a sign of danger for Osasuna. Some technically strong and some sprinting players in the line-up underpin this.

Against Real Madrid, however, there have been few wins in the past. In addition, the distribution of roles before this game seems extremely clear, everything speaks for the royals, as the Real Madrid vs Osasuna betting odds clearly prove. Due to these omens, our value tip before the Real Madrid vs. Osasuna match is that the hosts will win the match with a start-finish.

Predicted line-up of Osasuna:

Real Madrid – Osasuna Direct comparison / H2H balance

Real Madrid – Osasuna tip

Real Madrid have already proven the quality of their team several times this season. Against Osasuna, they should now show a lot offensively, as they did against Napoli. The visitors, meanwhile, are still a little way off their ideal form.

Ahead of the Real Madrid vs. Osasuna match, our prediction is that more than 2.5 goals will be scored.
