Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Buoyed by a come-from-behind win over Sevilla, Real Madrid will look to move one step closer to regaining La Liga title when they face Osasuna on Matchday 33. Los Blancos are enjoying a season to remember, but head coach Carlo Ancelotti must warn his men against complacency. Nacho is pushing for a start after scoring the equalizer in the win over los Sevillanos, while important midfielder Casemiro is back from suspension. Luka Jovic and Eden Hazard remain on the sidelined with injuries.
Los Rojillos, on the other hand, did well to beat Valencia at “Mestalla” at the weekend to climb to 9th place in the standings. Since Osasuna have little to play for in the remainder of the campaign, they should be happy with one point from the match. Given Real Madrid’s 15-point advantage over second-place Barcelona, the share of spoils is on the horizon in Pamplona. Both Juan Cruz and Jesus Areso miss out with injuries for the home 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 (Real Madrid):
Real Madrid is a Spanish football club based in Madrid. Real Madrid participate in La Liga (Primera Division) and they have won 32 domestic titles. On the other hand, los Blancos have won 13 European Cup titles and that is the main reason why they are considered the biggest football club in the world.
Real Madrid play their home matches at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and the capacity of the stadium is 84,454. Cristiano Ronaldo is the club’s most successful footballer in the 21st century and the Portuguese superstar has won two Golden Ball awards.
The likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Zinedine Zidane, Raul Gonzalez Blanco, David Beckham and Iker Casillas are star players who were part of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu outfit in the past. Real Madrid’s bitterest rivals are Barcelona, but the rivalry between local rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is big as well. Real Madrid’s home kit is white and, as a result, the team’s nickname is los Blancos (the Whites).
