Real Madrid vs Osasuna Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
Carlo Ancelotti is desperately in search of a victory for Los Blancos.
With the chants of “My heart is Madridista” the second fixture of Match Week 13 of the LaLiga takes us to Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, where Real Madrid CF are scheduled to lock horns against Osasuna.
The reigning European champions, Real Madrid, find themselves in a turbulent period, reeling from two consecutive heavy defeats to formidable rivals, FC Barcelona and AC Milan. These setbacks have intensified pressure on Carlo Ancelotti, who must urgently recalibrate his strategies ahead of their next LaLiga encounter against a strong Osasuna side. Determined to put an end to this rough patch, Real Madrid will be relentless in their pursuit of victory, aiming to restore form and momentum as swiftly as possible.
Osasuna currently sit fifth in the LaLiga standings, showing impressive form with six wins and three draws, amassing 21 points. They are level with 4th-place Villarreal and just one victory away from matching Real Madrid’s points tally, although Madrid hold an extra game in hand. Osasuna’s recent performances underscore their resilience, having secured three consecutive wins against Chiclana, Valladolid and Real Sociedad. With momentum on their side, they will look to extend this winning streak to four as they prepare to challenge Los Blancos in their upcoming clash.

Players to Watch
Luka Modric (Real Madrid):
As Real Madrid face a challenging period, Luka Modric’s leadership will be pivotal. The 39-year-old Croatian legend is expected to step up, guiding the team through these turbulent times with both his exceptional skill and unifying influence. Known for his ability to turn matches in his favour, Modric’s experience is invaluable to a squad in need of stability.
Ante Budimir (Osasuna)
Ante Budimir, the Croatian international hailing from Zenica, is set to make his mark at the Santiago Bernabeu. History repeated itself when he joined Osasuna on loan in 2021 and secured a permanent spot due to his impact. Since then, he has amassed over 100 appearances and netted 37 goals for the club. Budimir’s form has been remarkable for both Osasuna and the Croatian national team, and he’ll be eager to continue his scoring prowess against Real Madrid in this much-anticipated fixture.
