Osasuna and Atletico Madrid meet in a match in the 29th round of La Liga. The match will be played on Wednesday, from 21:00, on Estadio El Sadar, without spectators.
Both teams returned to La Liga with the same result, the draw recorded with the score of 1-1, opponents being Real Sociedad, respectively Athletic Bilbao. Thus, Simeone’s team reached five trips in a row without a victory in the championship.
Osasuna cannot boast of a remarkable form on its own field either. After starting this season with six games in a row without failure at the Estadio El Sadar, the Pamplona team won only two of the next eight stages played at home, during which time it suffered four defeats.
In 10 of the last 13 direct confrontations I did not witness goals scored in both goals. Atletico has the second strongest defense in La Liga, another reason why we choose to bet on a game in which both teams will not score. Also, in four of the last five stages played by Osasuna on our own field, we did not see goals in both gates.
– Atletico has won 10 of the last 12 direct duels with Osasuna, and in 8 of them it has not conceded a goal;
– Madrid have won in 4 of the last 5 visits from Osasuna;
– In 4 of the last five direct meetings over 2.5 goals were scored;
– Atletico has the highest number of draws in the current La Liga season (13);
