Match Preview
Alessio Lisci has transformed Osasuna into a very tough nut to crack in Pamplona this season. The hosts are currently enjoying an unbeaten run of 5 matches at El Sadar. They have picked up 11 points recently and scoring goals has not been a problem at all.
The main man for the hosts is undoubtedly Ante Budimir. He has already netted 11 goals this season and averages 0.55 per 90 minutes. He will lead the line in a 4-2-3-1 formation today. Unfortunately, Iker Benito and Flavien Boyomo are both confirmed out.
Defensively, Alejandro Catena is the leader but he must be cautious. He has received 10 cards this season and averages 0.46 per game. Osasuna commits 13.82 fouls per home match on average. They will need every bit of that aggression to stop the visitors.
Real Madrid arrives with incredible momentum under Alvaro Arbeloa. They have won 5 games in a row while scoring 12 times. Their away form is the best in the league with 2.25 points per game. They are unbeaten in 8 straight trips on the road.
Kylian Mbappe is the standout superstar with 23 goals in his pocket. He averages 1.07 goals per 90 minutes and is supported by Vinicius Junior. Young Arda Guler is also expected to start today. They average a massive 17.67 shots per away match.
That said, they are missing Jude Bellingham and Eder Militao through injury. Dean Huijsen will start in defense but he has already picked up 6 cards. It will be fascinating to see if they can maintain their lead. Fans should check out Professional LaLiga Predictions before kick off.
Real Madrid has submitted comprehensive evidence to UEFA regarding the racist incidents during their Champions League clash against Benfica at Da Luz. Following the activation of the anti-racism protocol, the club’s investigation highlighted offensive gestures from the stands and alleged insults directed at Vinicius Jr. by Prestianni. Real Madrid remains committed to collaborating with institutions to eradicate hate and violence, ensuring a safe environment for all athletes.

Prediction
Both Teams to Score @1.69
The home side enters this match with a scoring streak of 11 consecutive games in Pamplona. Stats show they have a 64 percent BTTS rate in their home stadium this season. Alessio Lisci’s men are aggressive and average 13.09 shots per match. With attackers like Budimir finding form, they rarely fail to score. They have enough quality to break down a rotated Real Madrid back line.
Real Madrid is almost guaranteed to score given their current momentum of 5 wins. They have netted 12 times in their last 5 fixtures across all competitions. Kylian Mbappe averages 1.07 goals per 90 minutes and remains a constant threat. While they keep clean sheets at home, they have conceded 11 times in 12 away games. This defensive vulnerability on the road encourages the BTTS pick.
