Game Prediction
On November 9, 2024, Real Madrid will host Osasuna in the 13th round of La Liga. The reigning champions cannot afford further slip-ups.
Prediction for Real Madrid vs Osasuna
The “Galacticos” have fought back after a disappointing 2022/2023 season, reclaiming their dominance domestically by winning the Super Cup and La Liga and shining in the Champions League, where Ancelotti secured another trophy. Meanwhile, Osasuna’s peak came last season, reaching the Copa del Rey final (which they lost to Real) and finishing seventh in La Liga. This year, they stumbled in the Conference League qualifiers and ended up 11th in La Liga.
Jagoba Arrasate’s era in Pamplona concluded, and Vicente Moreno has taken over, bringing renewed success with the team now in the upper half of the table and vying for European competition. Notably, they earned a decisive 4-2 victory over Barcelona, the same Barcelona that defeated Real 4-0 in El Clasico, showing Los Blancos' recent struggles as they fall six points behind in the title race. Real also faced challenges in the Champions League, where they managed comeback wins against Stuttgart and Dortmund but lost to Lille and recently suffered a 1-3 defeat at home to AC Milan.
Real Madrid’s defense has shown vulnerabilities, especially with injuries to Courtois and Carvajal and Nacho’s departure. They are conceding around one goal per match, although they continue to score about two goals per game. Osasuna has balanced stats, scoring and conceding around 1.5 goals per game.
