Real Madrid
Real Madrid will be looking to keep their title hopes alive when they take on Osasuna in the closing match of Saturday’s program. Los Rojillos failed to win the previous four league fixtures, and it is no surprise the bookies see them as underdogs in this encounter. Morocco forward Abde is back from suspension, whilst midfielder Aimar Oroz Huarte remains on the sidelines with injury.
Los Blancos, on the other hand, did well to win the FIFA Club World Cup trophy at the weekend, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Carlo Ancelotti’s men are eager to melt Barcelona’s advantage in the La Liga standings, and given Osasuna’s anything but brilliant form, away win should be considered. Karim Benzema, who missed the Mallorca game with injury, is back to the starting XI, as well as Vinicius Junior who returns from suspension. All Thibaut Courtois, Eden Hazard, and Ferland Mendy remain on the sidelines with injuries.
