The current La Liga leaders will be back in domestic action this weekend, as Real Madrid look to stretch their advantage at the top of the standings when they welcome Osasuna to the capital.
Before Betting On Real Madrid vs Osasuna
Real Madrid have made an excellent start to the new season in Spain, and they have quickly emerged as the leading contender to win the top prize. They have won seven of their opening eight matches this term, with their only defeat coming against Atletico Madrid a couple of weeks ago. Since then, they have won their last two to open up a one-point advantage over Barcelona.
Defensively, Real have been excellent over the opening weeks, as they have kept clean sheets in half of their eight matches. That is the most clean sheets that they have managed at this stage of the campaign since 2015-16. Real have dominated the previous encounters between the sides, as they have avoided defeat in the last 16 clashes.
Osasuna’s most recent win against the Spanish giants was recorded back in January 2011. However, it has been a different story in the Spanish capital, as Osasuna are without a win in their previous 15 visits since a 3-0 victory back in April 2004. But, the last two between the sides in Madrid have ended in draws.
Osasuna have impressed on the road already this term, as they have won three of their four away matches. That is a stark contrast to their record on the road before the start of this season, as they had won just three in their last 17 on the road in La Liga.
