The pressure is increasing on Carlo Ancelotti, as Real Madrid come into the La Liga round following successive defeats in high profile matches.
Los Blancos were well beaten by Barcelona in their latest La Liga outing, leaving them with nine points to find on their El Clasico rivals.
A defeat at home against AC Milan on Tuesday did little to ease the animosity around the Santiago Bernabeu.
Osasuna could be dangerous visitors to the Spanish capital this weekend after winning back-to-back fixtures. Incredibly, a win for the visitors on Saturday could see them end the round level on points with Los Blancos.
Odds
Real Madrid are the short price favorite on the moneyline for this home showdown against Osasuna. A victory for the visitors is available at huge odds of +1300.

Real Madrid vs. Osasuna Prediction
It has been a testing week on the field for Real Madrid, and they can ill-afford to fall 12 points behind Barcelona at the top of the standings.
Osasuna’s recent form is very eye-catching, and they appear to be a team going in the right direction.
However, it is incredibly challenging to overlook the prospect of the hosts bouncing back.
