Real Madrid face off with visiting opponents Osasuna at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in the La Liga game this Wednesday October 27th as they aim to keep the momentum going from their dramatic El Clasico win on the weekend fixture.
Real Madrid will be aiming to overtake Real Sociedad in top position, with the one point just between them and Madrid with a game in hand, when they take on Osasuna. Los Blancos came out on top by two goals to one against Barca in Sunday’s battle in Camp Nou.
El Clasico day always produces a sense of uncertainty even with Barcelona’s current predicament both on and off the pitch. David Alaba’s opener in the 32nd minute put Madrid in front before the second goal from Lucas Vazquez in the extra time. Aguero’s score came late in the 97th minute for Barca side.
Fixtures involving Real Madrid have often been absorbing affairs with high scoring. Over their past half dozen games, the sum total of 21 goals have gone in for both sides combined with 15 of these coming from Real Madrid. Real Madrid have the highest tally in scores having scored 24 times this season.
Osasuna have had a remarkable start to the 2021-22 season and with 10 points they sit sixth in the table after 10 games. Los Rojillos head into this match following a 1-1 draw with Granada. A goal from Argentine forward Chimy Avila for Osasuna was cancelled out by a goal from midfielder Angel Montoro for Granada.
Seemingly destined to claim a fourth La Liga win, Jagoba Arrasate’s side were forced to see out the final 15 minutes of the encounter with 10 men following Cote’s red card before Granada substitute Angel Montoro cancelled the lead. Osasuna also overcome Europa League winners Villarreal just after the international break and this will be a tight fixture.
