Osasuna, Recent FormOsasuna were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 0-0 draw against Real Valladolid. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Real Valladolid, who had 18 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Manager Jagoba Arrasate will be pleased with his team's recent defensive record, having conceded just 3 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have concerns that his team are not scoring many goals, and therefore dropping points. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at The Estadio El Sadar recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. A number of teams visiting The Estadio El Sadar have struggled to break through on goal this season so far with the home side having kept 4 clean sheets.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Real Madrid, Recent FormIn their last match Real Madrid enforced their superiority over Elche with a 4-0 home win. They achieved 72% possession in that match and had 26 strikes at goal, with 13 hitting the target, up against Elche's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 0 of which were on target.
They have taken just a small number of points from their past 6 matches, and while they have only let in 3 goals, it has been their unpredictable form in front of goal that has been their issue, with 9 goals netted in those 6 matches. With 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they are proving that they are not easy to defeat. With goals in 10 of their away games this season, it's easy to see why their travelling support will be optimistic of success on the road.
It's been mixed fortunes for Real Madrid away from home recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games on the road. They will be very happy with their early away form this season, winning 8 of their 11 away league games.
Karim Benzema will be hoping to create problems for Osasuna in this one, having scored 8 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Real Madrid.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
In their past 5 meetings, Real Madrid's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Los Rojillos will have to take their chances when they come. Playing at home, Osasuna have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Real Madrid. When Real Madrid visit Los Rojillos in the league, goals tend to happen, with 7 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2.33 goals per match.
It's been a long time since Real Madrid have lost this fixture, having picked up points against Osasuna in 15 league games in a row.
With 2 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against Osasuna at their home ground The Estadio El Sadar, Real Madrid man Lucas Vázquez will be looking for more of the same in this one.
Osasuna manager Jagoba Arrasate has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Aimar Oroz (Contusion), Rubén Peña (Leg) and Nacho Vidal (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Carlo Ancelotti has a number of injury concerns in his Real Madrid squad to contend with: Thibaut Courtois (Thigh), Eden Hazard (Muscle), Toni Kroos (Gastrointestinal discomfort) and Ferland Mendy (Hamstring)
