Real Madrid host Osasuna this afternoon for the match corresponding to the thirteenth day of the championship (2 p.m.). The aim is to secure all three points at the Santiago Bernabéu before the last international break of the year.
Ancelotti’s men are preparing to play a new LaLiga match fourteen days later, after the postponement of the previous day’s match against Valencia due to the storm which affected many areas of our country, especially the provinces of Valencia and Albacete. Osasuna will be facing, a team which has won its last three matches.
“We have a great opportunity to get back to winning ways,” Ancelotti said in press conference pre-match. Among the list of summoned players by Ancelotti include Vini Jr., Modrić, Valverde, Militão and Rüdiger, who are the only players to have taken part in all 16 matches of the season. In addition, the former has found the net in four of five of the last matches played, for a total of six goals.
The forces of Osasuna
Real’s opponent of the day begins the day in fifth place in the standings, tied with 21 points with fourth. Osasuna are one of the most in-form teams in La Liga at the moment. In addition to its three consecutive victories (two in La Liga and one in the Copa del Rey), the Pamplona team has made four trips without losing (two wins and two draws). A superb dynamic that she will want to continue at the Bernabéu. Budimir, scorer in the last two days of the championship, is their best scorer in the competition with six goals.
