Real Madrid take on the visitors Osasuna in the round 9 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, October 7th at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (Madrid).
After Barcelona's stumble against Mallorca, Real Madrid have regained the top spot in the La Liga table. In eight rounds of the championship, the Los Blancos have secured seven victories, and they are likely to add another one now. However, whether it will be a clean sheet win is a big question. In the current season, the Royal Club has been conceding more goals in their matches than keeping clean sheets. Their victories over Almeria (3-1), Real Sociedad (2-1), and Getafe (2-1) were accompanied by goals conceded, and they suffered a loss in the derby against Atletico (1-3). Even Girona had opportunities to score against Kepa several times in the previous round's first half. In summary, it wouldn't be extraordinary if the hosts at the Santiago Bernabeu concede at least once.

Osasuna may not be shining in attack, but they have managed to score nine goals in eight rounds, averaging more than a goal per game. At the beginning of the season, the Reds secured two away victories against Celta Vigo (2-0) and Valencia (2-1). Then, they faced a series of setbacks, but during this crisis period, Osasuna also managed to upset their opponents, losing narrowly to Getafe (2-3) and Barcelona (1-2) in two matches. In the last La Liga round, Jagoba Arrasate's men finally ended their winless streak with an away victory against Alaves (2-0). Scoring against Real Madrid on their home turf won't be easy, but I believe it's a challenge Osasuna can handle.
Los Blancos are objectively considered favorites in their home match against Osasuna. However, I am not confident that the hosts won't concede in this match. In their last five La Liga matches, Real Madrid have kept a clean sheet only twice. Moreover, midweek, Carlo Ancelotti's side had a tough game in Naples, where they expended a lot of energy but secured a victory (3-2). Last season, Osasuna found the net against this Madrid team in two out of three direct clashes. While they ultimately lost in the cup final (1-2), they managed to earn a draw at the Santiago Bernabeu in the league (1-1). My prediction for this match is that the visitors will score.
Prediction for the match: Osasuna to score – yes.
