The Matchday 36 clash in La Liga between Osasuna and Atletico Madrid will take place on May 15 at the El Sadar Stadium in Pamplona. Osasuna vs. Atletico Madrid: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Osasuna
In their last outing, Pamplona's side played away against Real Betis and managed to halt the attacking potential of the Seville team, drawing 1-1. Before that, Vicente Moreno's men also lost away to Villarreal with a score of 2-4. The club has dropped to 11th place in the table but remains a contender for a spot in the European competition zone, trailing by just two points.
- Both teams have scored in 5 of Osasuna's last 6 La Liga games.
- Pamplona's side has failed to win 10 of their last 13 league matches (6 draws and 4 losses).
- At least two goals have been scored in 9 of the club's last 10 home matches in La Liga.
Predicted lineup for Osasuna (4-4-2)
Sergio Herrera – Alejandro Catena, Jesus Areso, Juan Cruz, Enzo Boyomo – Pablo Ibanez, Ruben Garcia, Lucas Torro, Aimar Oroz – Bryan Zaragoza, Ante Budimir.
Atletico Madrid
Madrid's side has secured their participation in next autumn's Champions League. This came after their victory in the last round over Real Sociedad with a score of 4-0. Interestingly, all four goals in this match were scored by Alexander Sorloth before the 30th minute. It's also worth noting that the team has won three consecutive home matches in La Liga, scoring 11 goals. Diego Simeone's men are third in the table and can still overtake their city rivals Real Madrid, from whom they trail by 5 points.
- In their last seven La Liga matches, Atletico has suffered only one defeat (4 wins and 2 draws).
- At least two goals have been scored in 7 of the club's last 9 La Liga matches.
- In their last 14 La Liga matches, Madrid's side has conceded only two goals in the first half.
Predicted lineup for Atletico Madrid (3-4-3)
Jan Oblak – Javi Galan, Robin Le Normand, Jose Maria Gimenez – Marcos Llorente, Koke, Rodrigo De Paul, Pablo Barrios – Alexander Sorloth, Samuel Lino, Giuliano Simeone.

Osasuna vs. Atletico Madrid: Match Prediction
Madrid's side has lost much of their tournament motivation, having already secured Champions League participation. Whether they finish second or fourth doesn't make much difference for the club. At the same time, I doubt Diego Simeone's men will play half-heartedly. Atletico has increased their scoring towards the end of the season but also concedes frequently. Notably, the team has not kept a clean sheet in 7 of their last 9 away La Liga matches.
Osasuna is not showing top-quality football but continues to stay close to the European competition zone. The club has average scoring stats in the league but has scored in all their home matches in the current La Liga season. However, Pamplona's side has conceded in 9 of their last 10 home games in La Liga. In my view, there will be at least three goals in the upcoming match, a result seen in 5 of the last 7 head-to-head encounters in La Liga at El Sadar.
My prediction – Total over 2.5 goals
