Osasuna vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

• Osasuna can still qualify for Europe.
• Osasuna have just one defeat in their last seven (W3, D3).
• Atletico Madrid have just one win in their last seven away across all competitions.

Osasuna can deny Atleti

The battle for Europe in La Liga is intense with just four points separating Rayo Vallecano in eighth place and Real Sociedad in 12th.

Osasuna are two points behind Rayo in the battle for the Conference League place and the Europa League isn’t necessarily out of reach either ahead of Atletico Madrid’s visit on Thursday.

The hosts are in form and have a target to play for, whereas there is little on the line for Los Colchoneros. Atleti can’t win La Liga and have already secured a Champions League spot, with finishing above city rivals Real Madrid in second their only motivator now.

As such, backing Osasuna to either win or draw in the double chance market could be the best bet. The Pamplona club have just one defeat in their last seven games and they’ve been tough to beat at home all season, losing just three times in 17 La Liga games, while Atleti have struggled on the road.

The Madrid outfit have won just one of their last seven trips across all competitions and their away form held them back in their failed title bid as well, as they have managed just seven wins in their 17 trips.

Osasuna could do with all three points but they might have to settle for one and a 1-1 draw is the correct score prediction here. Atleti have only lost four times on their travels and two of Osasuna’s last five have finished level, while the home side have scored exactly once in five of their last eight home games and the visitors have only scored more than one goal in one of their last six trips.
