Bet of the Day: Osasuna vs Atletico Madrid Prediction and Betting Tips | September 28th, 2023

Bet of the day Osasuna vs Atletico Madrid  – La Liga

Osasuna finds itself grappling with a lackluster start to the 2023/24 season, leaving both fans and management yearning for more. A recent goalless draw at home to Sevilla did little to boost their spirits, extending their winless streak to four competitive matches, consisting of two draws and two losses. It’s worth noting that one of these results also marked the end of their journey in the UEFA Europa League Conference, adding salt to their wounds.

Osasuna’s Form

One glimmer of hope emerged from their latest stalemate – a clean sheet. This newfound defensive resilience came after conceding precisely two goals in five of their previous seven matches. Yet, what continues to cast a shadow of concern over Osasuna is their subpar home form. This season, they have failed to clinch victory in any of their four competitive outings at Estadio El Sadar, resulting in one draw and three losses. To exacerbate their anxiety, their upcoming encounter against Atlético Madrid does little to inspire confidence, considering they’ve endured defeat in their last five home head-to-head clashes, with an aggregate scoreline of 15-1 favoring the visitors.

For Osasuna and their manager, Jagoba Arrasate, this is indeed a worrisome situation that demands a remedy. The challenge ahead looms large as they prepare to face an Atlético Madrid side fresh from a resounding 3-1 victory against their arch-rivals Real Madrid in the Madrid derby. This win marked their 11th consecutive triumph on home turf and solidified their start to the new La Liga campaign, where they aim to secure UEFA Champions League qualification for a remarkable 12th consecutive season.

Atletico Madrid this Season

While Atlético Madrid’s home form has been stellar, their away performances raise concerns. Their results on the road have been erratic this season across all competitions, featuring one win, two draws, and one loss. This four-game stretch included a spectacular 7-0 win against Vallecano, a disappointing 3-0 loss to Valencia, and an astonishing 90th-minute equalizer by Lazio’s goalkeeper. Consequently, improving their record of just one win in their last seven competitive away matches might prove challenging as they head to Pamplona.

As the stage is set for this clash, all eyes will be on key players to make an impact. Osasuna’s Chimy Ávila has been in fine form, netting two goals this campaign, with three of his last four goals coming between the 70th and 80th minute. Atlético’s Álvaro Morata has been a potent force with five La Liga goals this season, and history favors him, having secured victory in all eight of his prior head-to-head encounters with Osasuna.

Intriguingly, recent statistics suggest that goals might flow freely in this fixture, as all but one of Atlético’s last nine La Liga games have produced more than 2.5 total goals.

Key Players to Watch
