• Getafe CF vs Girona FC Prediction: La Liga Match on 16.03.2024

Key Highlights

Osasuna are Looking to Push on into the Top Half as they Host Leaders Real Madrid

Osasuna’s four-match unbeaten run in La Liga ended last Saturday when they lost 2-0 away to Girona. They will be keen to return to their good form when they host the leaders on Saturday.

Their four-match unbeaten run included wins against Real Sociedad (0-1), Cadiz (2-0), and Alaves (1-0) and a draw against Las Palmas (1-1). The good run has seen Osasuna solidify its position in 10th place on the La Liga table with 36 points.

As the run-in hots up, Osasuna will look for another good run to put them in contention for European places, starting with Saturday’s clash against Real Madrid.

Leaders Real Madrid are Looking for Consistency as they Enter the Run-In

Carlo Ancelotti’s league leaders have won three times and drawn twice in their last five outings. They have maintained their good form without being ruthless. 

The two draws in their last five have prevented them from expanding a lead at the top larger than their current 7-point lead ahead of Girona in second.

Real Madrid went into the clash against Osasuna, looking for back-to-back wins in La Liga after beating Celta Vigo (4-0) last Sunday.
