Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Estadio El Sadar will host Saturday’s La Liga game between Osasuna and Atletico Madrid, the two teams who defeated Rayo Vallecano and Getafe respectively at the weekend. Osasuna aim to retain their spot in top ten, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach against Atleti. Both Aridane Hernandez and Jesus Areso are sidelined with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, aim to stay in the Champions League berth. Diego Simeone’s troops, though, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the 4-3 win over los Azulones, meaning that both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Jose Gimenez and Yannick Carrasco have been tested positive for coronavirus, while Daniel Wass and Antoine Griezmann should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Roberto Torres):
After scoring 23 goals in 132 appearances for Osasuna B, Roberto Torres made his first-team debut on 11 December 2011. He came as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Malaga, but he played no more than two league games for los Rojillos in the 2011/2012 La Liga campaign. However, he was making progress year by year and he made 42 appearances for Osasuna in the 2015/2016 Segunda Division campaign.
Roberto Torres is one of the players who helped the team secure promotion to Primera Division and it has to be noted that the midfielder scored 12 goals in the 2015/2016 season.
Roberto Torres’ contract with Osasuna expires in 2018. The 178-cm-tall player was born in Pamplona, on 7 March, 1989. His main position is attacking midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a central midfielder as well. He scored his first goal in Primera Division in a 2-4 loss to Real Madrid in the 2012/2013 campaign.
Highlighted Team (Atletico Madrid):
Atletico Madrid are a Spanish team that plays in Primera Division (La Liga). Los Rojiblancos or los Colchoneros play their home matches at Estadio Vicente Calderon, which holds up to 54,960 spectators. Atletico Madrid have won 10 La Liga titles, but they have yet to lift the European Cup (Champions League) trophy.
Los Rojiblancos have won 10 Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup) trophies and it has to be noted that they defeated their bitter local rivals Real Madrid in the 2012/2013 Spanish Cup final. The rivalry between the two capital clubs is pretty big and El Madrileno is regarded as one of the most exciting derbies in the world football.
Atletico Madrid played two Champions League finals under Diego Simeone, but they failed to beat Real Madrid in the title games (2013/2014 and 2015/2016). However, the Argentine tactician helped Atletico Madrid win the La Liga trophy in 2014 and, no doubt, he is one of the most successful coaches in the history of the capital club.
