The 2022-23 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Osasuna lock horns with Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid side in an important encounter at the Estadio el Sadar on Saturday.
Real Madrid are currently in second place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. Los Blancos thrashed Elche by a comprehensive 4-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Osasuna, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Pamplona-based outfit played out a 0-0 stalemate against Real Valladolid last week and will need to take it up a notch to stand a chance in this fixture.

Osasuna vs Real Madrid Prediction
Real Madrid have flattered to deceive in La Liga this season and will need to play out of their skins to catch up with arch-rivals Barcelona. Karim Benzema marked his league return with a brace this week and will look to add to his goal tally this weekend.
Osasuna can pack a punch on their day but have endured a definitive slump in recent weeks. Real Madrid are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Osasuna 1-3 Real Madrid
