Atletico Madrid v Osasuna predictions and preview: Betting stats

Atletico Madrid are 2^nd in La Liga on 22 points at a great record so far of W7 D1 L0. Their form is impeccable with 5 wins from their last 5 games and at home they have a 100% record too. Their games average 3.38 goals with 5 exceeding 2.5 goals; 3 have had fewer.

Osasuna are bottom of the league and so far have 5 points (W1 D2 L5). Their form is patchy (DLWLD) with some good results at home whilst away they are yet to pick up a point despite playing many of the teams in the bottom half. Their games average just 2.25 goals with only 3 over 2.5 goals and 5 under.

Team News and Run of Play

Arda Turan is once again out for Atletico and Marc Bertran will be missing for the struggling Osasuna.

Atletico Madrid have been a sensation this season and are unbeaten in a huge amount of games in all competitions. They have secured 4 wins from 4 at home and this week have added another two victories to their record. They have, however, only won one home league game by more than one goal so far and this week saw another two one goal victories. They do however have a superb attacking threat in the likes of Falcao, Adrian and others.

Osasuna have done OK at home, but have really struggled away. They are yet to be embarrassed in a game and last week’s 0-0 draw at home to Betis would have only boosted their confidence. I can see them trying their best against Atletico but to be honest the fact they’ve scored just one goal in their 4 away fixtures tells a tale and probably says what will happen here.

I can see this game being a really good match and I hope that Osasuna aren’t embarrassed in their attempts to deal with Atletico’s front line. For me I think the home side will control this game and I think it’s just a question of how many they win by.

Atletico Madrid v Osasuna predictions: 1X2 betting preview

Atletico Madrid will keep the pressure up on Barcelona this weekend, or overtake them depending on Barca’s result, and in my opinion they could do it in style. Their margins of victory haven’t been quite as convincing as they would like but for me they could have a good win here so Atletico Madrid at 1.33 with William Hill is a bet.

If you agree, follow me to William Hill.

Atletico Madrid v Osasuna predictions: Asian Handicap preview

For me, Atletico will score at least two goals here (as they have done in all of their home fixtures) while Osasuna don’t look like scoring (as they have done in 3 of their 4 away games). So for me the obvious bet is Atletico Madrid (-1.5) despite their inability to thrash teams of late. At odds of 1.90 with Pinnacle this looks a bet.

Atletico Madrid v Osasuna predictions: Total Goals preview

With Atletico scoring 3 goals on average in their home games and Osasuna conceding 2 on average I think over 2.5 goals is the bet here. Perhaps a 3-0 home win is the correct score bet. I think Atletico need a convincing home win if they are to let people know their title challenge is realistic.

You can back the overs at 1.67 with Stan James.
