Venue: Estadio El Sadar (19800 seats)

The visiting Real Madrid side should be favourites in this visit to Osasuna, as the away team holds a 22 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.

Insights:
  • Osasuna has the most dropped points from leading position (12) in La Liga
  • Real Madrid is in the best form (5-1-0)

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Del Rey. That game was an away game at Olot, so at least Osasuna are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Osasuna form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the La Liga this season. Osasuna have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Estadio El Sadar. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.

A strong away win for Osasuna against Olot the last match, as Oier, Kike Barja and Ante Budimir were on target. Preceding that game was the away draw at Real Sociedad that finished 1-1.

The manager J. Arrasate Elustondo will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Granada in only three days.

The Osasuna fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Osasuna defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Real Madrid form and stats

The away team, who have the most points (18) away in La Liga, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in the La Liga.

The supporters enjoyed Madrid's previous game versus Celta de Vigo (placed 8th), a La Liga 2-0 win played at home. Before that, Madrid travelled to Elche and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

A new game in only four days for Madrid, the Super Cup home match versus Athletic Club. Busy days.

Madrid are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 15 times in 9 away games so far. As opposed to that, Madrid have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's zero Osasuna victories, two draws and eight Real Madrid wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
