Prediction: 1-1
Real Madrid
Real Madrid will be aiming to build on a thrilling 4-0 win over Celta Vigo when they take on Osasuna in the Primera Division round 29. Los Blancos are eager to cement top position in the standings, but Saturday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the capital club. Jude Bellingham remains on the sidelines through suspension, while both Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois miss out with injuries. Toni Kroos is widely expected to replace Luka Modric in the starting line-up.
Los Rojillos, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Girona. As Osasuna managed to win four of their last five games at “El Sadar”, we predict that they are going to hold the Spanish titans to a draw. All David Garcia, Ruben Pena, and Enrique Barja are out of contention with injuries for the home side, while Moi Gomez should be recalled to the starting eleven.
Highlighted Player (Toni Kroos):
Toni Kroos is a Real Madrid midfielder who started playing for Bayern Munich II at senior level. He made 13 appearances for the reserve team and on 31 January, 2009 he joined Bayer Leverkusen on loan. He made his Bayer debut on 28 February, 2009, coming as a substitute in a 1-0 loss to Hannover.
The German midfielder scored ten goals in 43 league appearances with the BayArena outfit and in the summer of 2010 he returned to Bayern Munich. Kroos won three Bundesliga trophies with the mighty Bavarian giants (2007/2008, 2012/2013, 2013/2014) and in 2013 he was part of Bayern Munich’s team that won the Champions League trophy.
In 2014, though, he decided to leave the club and the German superstar joined Real Madrid on a six-year-contract. Kroos won the 2015/2016 Champions League trophy with los Blancos and it has to be noted that he produced a thrilling performance in the title game against Atletico Madrid. In 2014 he clinched the FIFA World Cup trophy with Germany.
Highlighted Team (Osasuna):
Osasuna are a Basque football team that plays in Spanish La Liga. Los Rojillos are based in Pamplona and and the club were founded in 1920. Estadio El Sadar has been the home of Osasuna since 1967 and the capacity of the stadium is 19,800.
The colour of Osasuna’s home kit is red, while the team’s shorts are navy blue. Los Rojillos dropped to the Segunda Division at the end of the 2013/2014 La Liga campaign, but they did not spend too many time in the Spanish second tier. The club returned to the elite division in 2016 after beating Girona in the play-offs.
Osasuna made it to the Spanish Copa del Rey final in 2005, but they eventually lost to Real Betis after extra time in the title game. The meaning of the word Osasuna is “health” in Basque and it is used in a sense of strength.
