Overview
Real Madrid just had a big boost when they came back to defeat Manchester City 3-2 in the Champions League play-off round. This victory will give Los Blancos more confidence in the upcoming journey.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti's team needs to continue to maintain their excitement to defeat Osasuna. In mid-next week, they will have an important return match against Man City in the Champions League.
Real Madrid have had a good form since losing to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. In the last 9 matches, they have won 7, drawn 1 and lost 1. Although Real Madrid are facing a defensive crisis, their attack is still very strong.
In Los Blancos' last 7 victories, their attack has scored at least 3 goals. This shows how impressive the form of Kylian Mbappe and his teammates in the attack is. Therefore, visiting Osasuna is not a big deal for Los Blancos.
As for Osasuna, they are in quite poor form, having won only 1/5 of their most recent matches. In La Liga alone, Osasuna have only had 1 win in the last 10 rounds. Obviously, coach Vicente Moreno's team is not in good spirits before the clash with Real Madrid.
The head-to-head record further shows the difference between Real Madrid and Osasuna. In the last 5 matches, the Spanish capital team has won all.
Notably, in the last 3 matches, Real Madrid have scored 4 goals against their opponents. With the current impressive form of the attack, the same thing could happen in the next match.
Personnel situation
Osasuna are missing two players for this game, including injured Raul Garcia and suspended Enzo Boyomo.
On the other side of the front line, Real Madrid are in a defensive crisis due to injuries without the services of David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, Lucas Vazquez, Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal.
Expected lineup:
Osasuna: Herrera, Areso, Bretones, Catena, Cruz, Torro, Ruben Garcia, Moncayola, Oroz, Zaragoza, Budimir.
Real Madrid: Courtois, Valverde, Tchouameni, Asencio, Mendy, Rodrygo, Camavinga, Modric, Bellingham, Vinicius, Mbappe.
The match between Osasuna and Real Madrid takes place at 10:15 p.m. on February 15 (Vietnam time).
