Osasuna v Real Madrid is a match in Week 22 of La Liga and is played on Saturday at 21:00: fixtures, predictions, TV and streaming
There will be plenty of absences this evening for Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid as they travel to play away to Osasuna. One above all that of Benzema, who is struggling with a muscular problem and has not even been called up by the Italian coach ahead of round 22 of the Spanish championship. Kroos will not be there either. In short, there are problems.
But despite this, with eight points behind Barcelona who lead La Liga, the Blancos cannot afford any missteps. They absolutely need a victory to try to keep the championship alive and play their chances of remaining champions right to the end. Although, it will not be absolutely easy. Osasuna, with 30 points in the standings, are in close proximity to the European zone, and the hosts, who managed to stop the Madrid outfit in the first leg at the Bernabeu, will be in with a shout.
There is another fact to note: in the last five meetings between these two teams, Real Madrid have only managed to win twice. On the other three occasions there have been draws, which gives an idea of how Osasuna are almost a black beast for Ancelotti’s team. However, they come to this challenge on the strength of four wins in their last five matches and with the World Cup title won in Morocco. Against Elche, for example, following in the footsteps of what happened in North Africa, where the Blancos scored nine goals in two games, four more goals came in the first half to close out the match.
It will still be a re-strengthened Real side that will take to the pitch this evening: a team that, despite the absences, has only one result at its disposal. Victory.
Budimir
The Prediction
A match with at least three goals in total, which should see Real Madrid take a very important victory in the end. A match that could be broken even in the first half. The visitors’ victory, however, seems very predictable in any case.
