Command Analysis

Atletico Madrid

Current form
Atletico Madrid are on an impressive run of 13 consecutive wins in all competitions and are just two points off the La Liga leaders with a game in hand. Diego Simeone men are aiming to reclaim the title for the first time since the 2020/21 season. Their impressive run of seven consecutive league wins is set to extend to eight, a feat they achieved in their last title-winning season.
Key to the Mattress Makers' success is their nine-game unbeaten run at home, during which they have kept five clean sheets and scored two or more goals in six of those. However, https://en.atleticodemadrid.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Atletico must remember their most recent home setback against Osasuna, when they lost 4-1 - one of the team heaviest defeats at the Wanda Metropolitano since 2007.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jose Jimenez will be out of the match (strain).
Interesting trends for betting
- Antoine Griezmann has been in fine form, scoring in his last five games, and will be looking to extend his run. He scored five goals against Osasuna last season, taking his career tally against the team to 12.
- Atletico are unbeaten in their last 10 matches against Osasuna, highlighting their dominance in this fixture.
- Osasuna have failed to score in four of their last six away games, which could make it difficult for them to breach the home defence.
Probable lineup: Oblak - Nahuel Molina, Savic, German Pezzella, Reinildo - Koke, Rodrigo de Paul, Saul Niguez, Thomas Lemar - Antoine Griezmann, Alvaro Morata

Osasuna

Current form
Osasuna are going through a tough period, having gone six La Liga matches without a win, which has seen them drop to tenth place in the table. Despite this decline, the Pamplona side remain in contention for the European places, as they are level with three teams on 25 points.
To achieve that goal, Osasuna will need to improve their away form, which has been poor so far, with just one away win this season. They have scored one goal or fewer in seven away games, highlighting their attacking struggles. However, a historic win over Atletico last season, which ended a run of 11 straight defeats, could give them confidence heading into the game.
Disqualifications and injuries
Osasuna approaches the match against Atletico with a virtually optimal lineup. The only injured player is Zaragoza (back injury), which should not significantly affect the team key positions.
Interesting trends for betting
- Osasuna have scored at least two goals in four of their last six matches in all competitions, indicating an increase in attacking efficiency.
- The team has won two of its last three away games, demonstrating its ability to cope with pressure on the pitch.
- In matches against Atletico, the team rarely went without scoring a goal, which could herald an interesting confrontation.
- Osasuna last five away games have seen over 2.5 goals, making them entertaining and full of scoring opportunities.
Probable lineup: Fernandez - Moncayola, David Garcia, Catena, Sanchez - Torro, Moi Gomez, Brasanac - Barja, Cimi Avila, Budimir

1.65Tip and bets
We expect a high-scoring game in this match, as both teams have attacking potential and are looking to consolidate their positions in La Liga. Atletico Madrid have been in impressive form at home, scoring at least twice in four of their last five home games. Simeone’s side traditionally dominate in attack, especially against opponents from the bottom of the table. Osasuna, on the other hand, have had problems in defense, especially in away games, where they have conceded more than two goals in two of their last three matches. Head-to-head meetings between these teams are also often high-scoring, with three of their last five matches having seen over 2.5 goals scored. Given Atletico’s current form and the vulnerabilities in the visitors’ defense, we expect the game to end with three or more goals scored.
Betting Tip - total over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.12
Bet on the outcome
The match between Atletico and Osasuna promises to be interesting and unpredictable. Atletico are in excellent form, continuing their winning streak, but Osasuna have shown that they can play against top teams on the road, making the most of their opportunities. Meetings between these rivals often take place in a tough fight, where the reliability of the defense plays a key role. Osasuna are trying to rehabilitate themselves after a series of failures and prove that their ability to withstand the giants of La Liga is not limited to isolated successes. They know how to build a solid defense and are dangerous on the counterattack.
On the other hand, Atletico does not always show confidence in attack against teams that focus on defense. All this can lead to the match being an equal fight, and the teams will not be able to overcome each other. Given the above, a draw becomes a very likely outcome, especially if Osasuna manages to impose its rhythm of the game and minimize the number of errors.
Betting Tip - draw with odds of 5.10
Bet on corners
The match is expected to be a battle in the centre of the pitch, with both teams frequently attacking from the flanks. Both Atletico and Osasuna tend to give away a lot of corners in games where the opponents are actively defending. The last five matches involving both teams have seen an average of over 10 corners per game. Given the home team desire to attack and the away team organised defence, we can expect a high corner statistic.
Betting Tip - total corners over 9.5 with odds of 1.87
