Osasuna-Atletico Madrid and Celta Vigo-Bilbao are La Liga Week 19 matches to be played on Sunday: fixtures, predictions, TV and streaming.
Osasuna have 28 points in the standings and occupy seventh place. They are level on points with Betis who, due to goal difference, are in the box that would allow Pellegrini’s team to play in the European cups next season. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, have 31 points in the standings and are in the Champions League zone. You don’t need any more to understand how valuable this match is.
Especially for the Colchoneros, who lost the derby against Real Madrid this week and were eliminated from the Copa del Rey. A situation that opens apocalyptic scenarios within the Madrid formation, with a Simeone who is on the gridiron and who is gambling everything between now and the end of the season. Even if, objectively, it seems difficult for the relationship to go on in any case. But the Cholo wants to leave well alone, and to do so he must at least win a place in the next European top competition. And so the best Atletico is needed to bring home the three points.
And points are also needed from Celta Vigo, a team that is currently a hair’s breadth outside the relegation zone. Unbelievable how a formation that has great individuality can find itself in this situation in the standings. But so it is, and against a Bilbao side fighting for Europe, the hosts’ task is a tough one.
Beware though, because in the league Valverde’s team is not going through a good moment. And then Celta, driven by important motivations, could also succeed in what would be a real coup for the continuation of their season.
