Atletico Madrid vs Osasuna Predictions

• Atletico Madrid have won their last three home La Liga games
• Osasuna have failed to score in three of their four away La Liga matches this season
• Diego Simeone’s side have won their last three home meetings with Osasuna without conceding

Simeone’s side set to see off Osasuna

Atletico Madrid return to La Liga action on Saturday with a visit from Osasuna — a side they’ve had some trouble against in recent seasons. The Basque outfit beat them 2-0 in Pamplona at the back end of last season and won 4-1 at the Metropolitano almost exactly a year before.

Diego Simeone’s men have turned their stadium into a fortress once again with four victories over Villarreal, Rayo Vallecano and Real Madrid in La Liga already this season. They also smashed a good Eintracht Frankfurt side 5-1 on their own patch in the Champions League late last month.

They’ll expect to take care of business against an Osasuna side that’s struggled for consistency. Jagoba Arrasate’s visitors sit 12th in the table and have lost three of their last four away games, including a 2-1 defeat at Villarreal and a 2-0 reverse at Real Betis.

Atleti to keep it clean again

Atleti have made defensive solidity their trademark under Simeone and, although recent results sugest they are not as tight at the back as in previous seasons, they can still shut out a pretty ordinary Osasuna attack.

The hosts have won to nil in each of their last three home meetings and are well equipped to extend that run. Back Atlético Madrid to win to nil at a solid price, with a 2-0 scoreline offering a tidy correct score angle.
