Real Madrid hosts Osasuna in round 34 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, May 1st at Alfredo di Stéfano Stadium (Madrid)
Real Madrid is in 2nd place in the standings (71 points after 33 matches). The Whites have chalked up 21 wins, eight draws, and four defeats. With five rounds to go to the finish of La Liga, Zinedine Zidane’s charges were not the favorites of the championship race, as they lost points in matches against Getafe (0-0) and Betis (0-0). But Barcelona gave them a chance after an unexpected home defeat to Granada on Thursday (1-2). Nevertheless, the chances of winning the championship are also influenced by the participation of Real Madrid in the Champions League. The Whites have spent a lot of energy in the first semifinal leg against Chelsea (1-1). The home team looked worse than the Pensioners, who opened the scoring through the efforts of Christian Pulisic, but Karim Benzema's goal gave Zidane's team's chances of reaching the final. It is noteworthy that the draw in Madrid was the 4th for Galacticos in the last five matches.

Osasuna is in 11th position in the LaLiga standings (40 points after 33 rounds). The Reds have 10 victories, 10 draws, and 13 losses. And they are approaching the last matches of the season without clear tournament motivation. Osasuna is nine points behind the European Cup zone. And Arrasete’s players are 10 points ahead of the relegation zone. Despite this, the Navarreans had a winning streak of three matches, having dealt with Villarreal (1-2), Elche (2-0), and Valencia (3-1). But Celta Vigo stopped the club from Pamplona in the home match last Sunday (2-1). Iago Aspas and Jason Murillo scored goals for the Sky Blues, and the Reds responded with an accurate shot by Roberto Torres from the penalty spot.
Galacticos have in mind the upcoming Champions League return match against Chelsea in London. Given a large number of injured players and fatigue of age leaders, Zidane will try to rotate the squad and determine the fate of the match before the break, so as not to waste extra energy. This development of events is indicated by the statistics of the last head-to-head matches. In the last six home games against Osasuna, Real Madrid consistently won the first half.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win the first half
