Real Madrid News and Form – Will Madrid make it three wins in a row?

Real Madrid have not looked a great side this season, not by any stretch of the imagination. They are though undefeated, with a W3 D2 record in their five games in this La Liga campaign. They took a 1-0 away win in a tough fixture against Sevilla on the weekend, Karim Benzema getting the only goal of the game. Head coach Zinedine Zidane is under pressure, largely because of underwhelming performances and their Champions League defeat against PSG.

Their success against Sevilla on the weekend was their first clean sheet in the top flight this season. They don’t look thoroughly convincing at the back and their midfield is very average-looking at the moment. Benzema is their top scorer in La Liga with five goals. Zidane has some heat on him, but as long as the wins keep going then all is in order. It is a W1 D1 home record from them in the league this season. Madrid have won six of their last eight top-flight home fixtures (D1 L1), scoring at least two goals in each of those victories.

Osasuna News and Form

Osasuna are one of the newly promoted sides in the Spanish top flight this season. They have remained undefeated which is a great achievement, but are only at W1 D4. They played out an 0-0 draw with Real Betis on the weekend. However, their big moment of the new season came in a 2-2 draw against Barcelona. Osasuna took the lead in that fixture. They have generally found the going tough in the top flight.

They won only four games in the 2016/17 season when they ended up getting relegated. It hasn’t taken them all that long to get themselves back up to the top flight though. It has been three clean sheets in five games from them in this campaign. They are W1 D1 on the road, the one success coming at Leganes. They did get under the skin of Barcelona, can they do the same to Real Madrid?
