Real Madrid moved back to the top of the La Liga standings last weekend with an impressive display. The Spanish giants will go into the international break at the top of the standings if they are able to land maximum points against Osasuna on Saturday.
La Liga Preview
It has been a strong start to the new Spanish season for Real Madrid, and they look more than capable of launching a huge challenge for the top flight title this term. Real come into this fixture after winning each of their last two matches, which has been an excellent response following defeat against Atletico Madrid.
The Spanish giants put down a marker for the season ahead on Saturday, as they recorded an excellent 3-0 success against quick starters Girona on the road. Jude Bellingham was once again the star of the show, as the Englishman scored the third effort and was also able to record an assist. Other goals for Real in the win on the road were netted by Joselu and Aurelien Tchouameni.
Osasuna will also be chasing an important win before the international break, as they currently sit tenth in the La Liga standings. The Spanish side have won three of their opening eight matches this term. However, they will likely need to be more challenging to break down after already having lost on four occasions this season.
But, they ended a four-game winless run in their most recent fixture, as they picked up a 2-0 win on the road against Alaves. Jose Arnaiz opened the scoring in that fixture after 36 minutes, before the points were safely secured in the final minute of the 90 by Ante Budimir. However, they will likely be playing on the counter-attack against Real this weekend.
Real Madrid vs Osasuna Head to Head
Real Madrid has an excellent league record in this fixture, as they are unbeaten in their last 16 La Liga matches against Osasuna since a 1-0 away defeat in January 2011. Real have been held in each of their last two home matches against Osasuna, with the latest of those coming in a 1-1 draw in October 2022.
