Osasuna take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the round 19 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, January 29th at Estadio El Sadar (Pamplona).
Osasuna is trying to reach a new level this season
The Pamplonians can be considered one of the examples of the "coaching team" that there are so many in Spain. Yagoba Arrasate was able not only to raise them from the Segunda - this was also done by his predecessors. But this mentor made his wards a strong middle peasant in the Examples (which was also confirmed by the 10th place according to the results of the last temporade). And now there are reasons to fight for the long-awaited return to European competition. The club is now on a 3-match unbeaten streak in La Liga (away draws with Athletic and Elche and a home win with Mallorca). At the same time there was also a fight in the cup, on January 26th. Taking on Sevilla, they won 2-1 and advanced to the semi-finals. Osasuna has been and remains a home team, gaining the lion's share of points at home, in the current championship they confidently confirm this thesis - 18 points in 9 matches and 3rd place in the home games table

Atlético failed to learn from last season's lessons. Los Colchoneros in the 2021/2022 season entered into the status of the reigning champion of the country, and also carried out a powerful transfer campaign, crowned with the return of Griezmann. But not without problems it turned out to reduce the results to a "satisfactory" rating, and then due to progress in the 2nd part of the season. It seemed that "El Cholo" would not step on the same rake. But in the fall, the Spaniards were only 4th in their Champions League group. In La Liga, they also misfire, including in the winter, when Atlético lost consecutively to Barcelona and played only in 1-1 draw with Almeria, a newcomer to the division. Then, however, there were confident victories over Levante and Valladolid. This week there was a cup derby with Real Madrid - and 1-3 there.
Atlético have won 9 out of last 10 head-to-head matches between the teams, losing them only once in 2014. And in the last season, both wins were with clean sheets. The hosts are not bad, but Atlético need victories too. So it will not do without goals - we are waiting for "more than 2.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
