Osasuna vs Atletico Madrid Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2024-25

Pamplona gears up to host the Madrid outfit.

Matchweek 36 of the LaLiga 2024-25 takes us to the El Sadar Stadium, where Osasuna take on Atletico Madrid.

One of the most regionally symbolic clubs in Spain, representing Navarrese pride and culture, Osasuna would be keen to bring continental football back to Pamplona. They are positioned 11th in the points table. The results of their remaining three games would determine their European fate next season.

They are coming after a 1-1 draw against Real Betis and have won matches recently against Sevilla, Valladolid and Girona. They would have the support of the local fans who are expected to come in large numbers to cheer for the home side.

Representing the industrial soul of the Spanish capital, the 11-time LaLiga winners, Atletico Madrid, kicked off the season strongly. In the mid-stages, after both Barcelona and Real Madrid saw a dip in form, Atletico emerged as the table toppers.

However, a series of inconsistent performances saw them lose their firm grip in the Championship race. They have secured a place in the UEFA Champions League next season. The remaining three matches are mere formality for the club and an opportunity to test the bench strength.

Players to watch :

Ante Budimir (Osasuna)

The 33-year-old Croatian striker has plied his trade with teams like HNK Gorica and Sampdoria before making a move to the Spanish top flight. After his tenure with Mallorca, he joined Osasuna as a loanee in 2020. His performance grabbed a lot of eyeballs, and he was offered a permanent contract next season.

Since then, he has made a total of 125 appearances and scored 51 goals for Osasuna. With continental dreams still alive, Budimir would give his best shot to secure all three points.

Alexander Sorloth (Atletico Madrid)

The 29-year-old Norwegian striker is coming after recently netting four goals in a match. His footballing odyssey over these years saw him donning the jerseys of Crystal Palace, Real Sociedad and Villareal before making a move to Atletico.

He has seamlessly transitioned into Diego Simeone’s setup and has netted 17 goals in just 32 matches. He would be looking forward to ending the season with a big win for Atletico.
