Real Madrid vs Osasuna. Prediction (odds 4.75) and bets on the match of the Spanish championship

Current form

When Real Madrid added Kylian Mbappe to a team that had just won La Liga and become European champions for the 15th time, everyone expected Los Blancos to go from strength to strength. However, that proved far from the case when they suffered a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan in the Champions League in midweek, following a humiliating 4-0 defeat at Barcelona, their first two home defeats in a row since October 2020.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti admitted his concerns after another defeat on Tuesday night, admitting his side were "not playing very well" and citing a lack of cohesion at the back as the cause of their problems. However, https://www.realmadrid.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Real should be in a good position to get back on track at the Santiago Bernabeu against Osasuna, as they are an opponent they have not lost to at home since April 2004.

Disqualifications and injuries

Alaba (knee injury), Carvajal (ankle injury), Courtois (muscle injury) and Valverde (back injury) are out.

Interesting trends for betting

• Real Madrid are the only team to have not conceded a goal in La Liga before the break at home this season

The legendary Los Blancos defence has conceded seven goals in the last two games, which has cast doubt on the fans, but not on Carlo Ancelotti, who is capable of setting his team up for any opponent, and it is unlikely that Osasuna will have many opportunities to upset the Whites' goalkeeper.

• Five of Mbappe last six goals for Real have come at the Santiago Bernabeu

The appearance of France star player could seriously change the game today, even though three of those five goals were scored after the 65th minute

• Rodrigo returned from injury midweek and could start

Ancelotti is keen to freshen up his attacking options - both of the Brazilian recent goals have come after the break

Probable line-up : Lunin - Modric, Rudiger, Militao, Ceballos - Tchouameni, Diaz, Bellingham, Rodrygo - Mbappe, Vinicius.

Current form

Osasuna beat Valladolid 1-0 last weekend to finish the day in fifth place and just three points behind their esteemed hosts after a fast start to the league. Los Rojillos have already picked up eight points on their tally at this stage last season and, most encouragingly, have won back-to-back league games for the first time since February.

However, the visitors have not won consecutive away league games since August 2023 and will be looking to do so again given their abysmal record here and only one away win in La Liga this season. There is a small chance that Osasuna could well benefit from the home crowd’s nervousness, having opened the scoring inside 30 minutes in three of their last six away La Liga games.

Disqualifications and injuries

Garcia will not be able to play today (muscle injury).

Interesting trends for betting

• Lucas Torro develops an unexpected taste for goals, scoring in back-to-back games for the first time in his professional career
• Osasuna talisman Ante Budimir has scored six goals in 12 league appearances this season, opening the scoring in three of his five La Liga appearances in 2024/25
• Osasuna have opened the scoring within the first 30 minutes of three of their last six away games

It is worth noting here that the level of the opponents who conceded cannot be compared with the strength and experience of today hosts, against whom the "blue garnets" have absolutely terrible statistics

Approximate lineup : Herrera - Cateno, Arezo, Catena, Cruz - Muñoz, Moncayola, Torro, Gomez - Budimir.
