Real Madrid vs Osasuna Predictions

Osasuna do not have a good record on their trips to the Spanish capital and I don't expect that to change. A home win is backed with value on Kylian Mbappe to get the season off to a scoring start.

Real Madrid won 4-0 at home last season before a 1-1 draw in Osasuna in their last encounter.

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid finished second in La Liga last season, four points behind Barcelona. Carlo Ancelotti left the club and was replaced by Xabi Alonso.

Alonso’s new side competed at the Club World Cup, getting through a group that included Al Hilal, Pachuca and Salzburg. They beat Juventus and Borussia Dortmund before a 4-0 semi-final defeat to PSG.

Los Blancos played one pre-season friendly that ended in a 4-0 win against Tirol. Eder Militao opened the scoring, Kylian Mbappe scored twice and Rodrygo wrapped it up.

Osasuna Form

Osasuna ended up ninth in La Liga last season, winning ten games at home but just two on the road. They drew 10 of their 19 away games.

Vicente Moreno left the club to move to Qatar with Alessio Lisci named the new manager.

The Pamplona club lost three consecutive pre-season friendlies before beating Mirandes 3-0. Their final preparation game ended in a 2-2 draw against Freiburg.

Verdict

Real Madrid v Osasuna

Real Madrid are deserved favourites here and have a strong home record against Osasuna. I am backing Los Blancos to win this one to nil, Kylian Mbappe to score first at Santiago Bernabéu.
