Osasuna vs. Real Madrid Prediction, Pick
Real Madrid have found their form at just the right time, and I certainly won’t be betting against them while they are performing this well. Eight straight league wins have seen them climb to the top of the table, with the last five of those coming under new manager Álvaro Arbeloa.
Not only are Madrid on fire at the moment, but they have dominated this fixture in recent seasons. They have won four of the last five La Liga games between these sides, drawing one. In fact, it goes back much further than that. Osasuna have not beaten Real Madrid in any competition since 2011. Since then, these clubs have faced off 24 times, with Real Madrid winning 18 of those and six draws mixed in between.
There is a huge gap between these teams not only historically, but this season. Real Madrid have doubled the points tally (60) of Osasuna (30) through only 24 games. They have scored 25 more goals and conceded nine fewer. Even though this game is on the road, all signs point to Madrid picking up the three points.
This is a huge opportunity for Madrid to extend their lead to five points ahead of Barcelona’s game on Sunday.
