Real Madrid wants to expand its advantage on Saturday afternoon at La Liga’s summit when you visit Mid-Table Osasuna.
The reigning Spanish champions are two games without a win in the league after following Espanyol with a draw against the local enemies and the title competitor Atletico Madrid. They are still sitting a point that is clear at the top, but will probably be outdated this weekend if they cannot secure the victory in Pamplona.
However, Carlo Ancelotti may have an eye on the European campaign on Wednesday, with Madrid organizing the second stage of her play-off clash from Champions League with Manchester City.
Osasuna knows that Madrid is not invincible, but will be difficult to avoid a defeat on Saturday. They only won one of their last five games in all competitions and were beaten up 4-0 in the back in November.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to the duel.

Vicente Moreno will be without the services of defender Enzo Boyomo against Madrid, with the camera national player being suspended after the accumulation of five yellow cards from La Liga. The last time he achieved a 94th minute against Mallorca.
Raul Garcia is expected to be the only absentee due to an injury, with the 24-year-old striker being hindered by an ankle problem. He showed slightly from the bank this season and scored twice in the league.
Ante Budimir was Osasuna’s starting striker this season and was in an impressive form throughout the campaign. He has scored 12 times in La Liga and scored four in his last six games in all competitions.
Lineup predicted Osasuna against Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Herrera; Areso, Herrando, Catena, Cruz; Moncayola, Torro; Ruben Garcia, Oroz, Zaragoza; Budimir.
Madrid is still without a large number of defenders and Ancelotti will have to name a non -convincing backline on Saturday. Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba and Eder Militao are not available in Center-Back, while Lucas Vazquez and Dani Carvajal are not available in the right-back.
Aurelien Tchouameni will probably work together in the heart of defense, and Federico Valverde will continue on the right side of the backline.
Fortunately, the attacking quartet of Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe are available for the weekend for Madrid.
Real Madrid predicted the line-up against Osasuna (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Valverde, Tchouameni, Ascio, Garcia; Ceballos, Camavinga; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius; Mbappe.
Osasuna has not beaten Madrid since 2011 and has lost her last five meetings with the investment team and has admitted in the last three duels four. Saturday should bring another emphatic defeat against Moreno’s men, who are in incomplete and inconsistent form.
Madrid was anything but flawless on the street this season, but has the attacking firepower to compensate for her defensive defects. You should create a relatively comfortable victory – at least on paper – and keep your La League leadership.
