---------------------------------
Real Madrid aims to start their 2025-26 La Liga season with a win against Osasuna at El Sadar Stadium. Last season, Real Madrid finished second, narrowly behind Barcelona, while Osasuna secured ninth place, just missing out on European qualification. This season, Osasuna hopes to improve and finish in the top half again.
Team Analysis:
Osasuna finished ninth last season with a balanced record and aims to secure another top-half finish, possibly pushing for Europe despite a quiet transfer window with only two new signings. They lost several key players and had a mixed pre-season with just one win.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid, coming off a second-place finish, have added four new players and faced a tough Club World Cup, losing heavily to PSG. They start the season under pressure to outdo Barcelona, who already have a win. Real Madrid hold a strong record against Osasuna, who last drew with them earlier this year.
Player Situation:
Real Madrid faces key absences for their season opener, with Rudiger suspended and several players injured or doubtful, forcing coach Alonso to consider new defensive and midfield options. Some new signings may debut, while Rodrygo’s status remains uncertain.
Osasuna awaits fitness tests for two players, with new signing Rosier expected to start and Munoz likely to come off the bench. Budimir, their top scorer last season, will lead their attack again.
Result Prediction:
Osasuna can challenge Real Madrid, making the match competitive, but Real Madrid's quality should secure them a season-opening victory.
Predicted Result: Real Madrid 2-0 Osasuna.
