Osasuna – Real Madrid

An emancipated Osasuna can take points away from the leaders

On Saturday, 16 March, Osasuna will take on Real Madrid at home in the 29th round of the Spanish championship. The guests have eight points over Barcelona in the race for the title. The "creamy" have even more than one right to make a mistake. Osasuna has actually already ended the season early in terms of the tournament struggle: the departure is not threatening, and there are no prospects for the European Cup. Real experienced a decent slump in February and March, but got off with a minor scare and a knock out of the King's Cup. The team with great difficulty passed Leipzig in the Champions League, at some point almost revived and intrigue in the Spanish championship. At the moment, the situation looks very good for Real Madrid. The team defeated Celta in the last round, and the squad is gradually becoming optimal. In the near future, the main goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois should return. The chances are very high that the last two months Real will be in a perfect combination. The second big bonus for Madrid is the form of Vinicius. The Brazilian has already scored ten goals in La Liga. The footballer is still in a position to even join the scorer's race. The atmosphere in the team remains excellent, as shown by Arda Guler's goal. The prodigy was very warmly congratulated after the goal to Celta. Osasuna again deserves praise for a quality season. The mentor has kept the team in the top league of the Spanish championship year after year. The club has just amazing stability: four years of places in the range from seventh to tenth. Here and now the modest financially modest team closes the top ten. Osasuna had a decent slump in January, the relegation zone loomed, but the team sharply added in February. There was a series of four matches in which the club scored ten points. Including defeated Real Sociedad on the road. At this point, the fight for survival can be considered complete. Traditionally, Osasuna is one of the most boring teams in La Liga. At the moment the team has a series of five games on the total less. In the last ten matches, only two were top. At the same time, the club's goals are not evenly distributed. Ante Budimir is having the best season of his career. The Croatian has scored 14 goals and is just two goals behind Jude Bellingham. Real Madrid will definitely not have an easy outing. The team will play without the suspended Jude Bellingham. Matches in Pamplona are rarely easy for top clubs. Real will probably be happy to play through ball retention after the first goal. Importantly, there is no pressure on the hosts right now. The club will come out with seven defensive players. We see a viscous match with few goals.
