Real Madrid will be hoping to use their huge El Clasico win over Barcelona as motivation for their upcoming fixtures in La Liga. They are currently second, but could move top with a win over the in-form Osasuna on Wednesday.
It has been an excellent week for Carlo Ancelotti and his Real Madrid side, as they claimed a famous win over Barcelona at the weekend to keep tabs on Real Sociedad at the top of the standings. Osasuna are the visitors to the Bernabeu this week, as they look for a fourth win in five.
The aim at the start of every season is to win the La Liga title for Real Madrid, and this is the kind of fixture that they can’t afford to drop points in this season given how tight the title race will be. Madrid have won just three of their last five games, but did end a two-game wait for a victory in the weekends El Clasico against Barcelona.
It was one of the more routine victories that they have recorded at the Nou Camp, as they never looked in danger of dropping points. David Alaba marked his first El Clasico appearance with the opening goal, before Lucas Vazquez wrapped up the win.
Osasuna will be a side that Madrid will be aware of coming into this game, as they have performed well throughout the early parts of the season. They have lost just twice this season, and sit sixth in the La Liga standings.
Their recent form has been extremely strong, as they have won three of four. They couldn’t make it a fourth straight victory at the weekend, as Granada scored a late equaliser to save a point. Ezequiel Avila had scored the opening goal to put Osasuna ahead.
Osasuna have picked up just two wins in 23 recent meetings against Real Madrid. However, they are without a win in this fixture since January 2011. Madrid are unbeaten in 12 games against their opponents on Wednesday, and have won nine times during that run.
This match should be perfectly set up for the hosts to take the three points and continue their charge towards the La Liga title. Osasuna’s form is good, but they have struggled in this fixture against Madrid.
