With the La Liga title race effectively over and the top-four battle heating up, Tuesday’s clash between Osasuna and Atletico Madrid carries real stakes — especially for Diego Simeone’s side, who have dropped points alarmingly in recent weeks. A resurgent Osasuna on home soil makes this anything but a guaranteed three points for Los Colchoneros.

Both teams come into this fixture off disappointing defeats, making it a must-bounce-back clash for either side. Atletico’s recent away form is worrying — they have won just three of their last ten games away from home, drawing one and losing six. Simeone cannot afford another slip-up with Champions League qualification far from sealed.

### Team News & Key Injuries

| Team | Absentees |
| --- | --- |
| Osasuna | Iker Benito (injury) |
| Atletico Madrid | Pablo Barrios (injury) |

Osasuna are without Iker Benito through injury, while Atletico Madrid will be missing Pablo Barrios. Atletico’s attacking arsenal still includes Julian Alvarez (8 goals), Antoine Griezmann (7), and Alexander Sørloth (12) — enough firepower to hurt any defence. Osasuna’s danger man is Ante Budimir, who has been in outstanding form this season with 17 league goals to his name — Osasuna’s go-to man against a vulnerable Atletico backline.

### Predicted Lineups

**Osasuna (4-2-3-1):** Herrera; Rosier, Catena, Herrando, Galán; Torro, Moncayola; Ruben Garcia, Oroz, Moi Gomez; Budimir

**Atletico Madrid (4-4-2):** Oblak; Pubill, Gimenez, Le Normand, Ruggeri; G. Simeone, Koke, Llorente, Baena; Griezmann, J. Alvarez

### Head-to-Head

Atletico Madrid have won eight of the last ten meetings between these two clubs — a dominant record that makes them clear historical favourites. However, Osasuna won their reverse fixture earlier this season 2-0, before losing the next encounter 1-0 to Atletico — showing this rivalry is far from one-sided on any given night.

[Atletico Madrid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atl%C3%A9tico_Madrid) are one of [La Liga’s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Liga) most tactically disciplined outfits under Simeone, but their current away form suggests they are there to be beaten.

### Key Stats to Know

In six of the last eight Osasuna home matches, the total goals scored was over 2.5 — suggesting El Sadar is fertile ground for an entertaining, open game with goals at both ends. [Pokémon GO Hub](https://pokemongohub.net/post/pvp/a-pvp-analysis-on-the-paldean-starters-and-oinkologne/)

### Prediction & How to Watch

Osasuna at home, with Budimir firing on all cylinders and Atletico shaky on the road — expect a fiercely contested match. **Prediction: Osasuna 1–2 Atletico Madrid.** Simeone’s experience should edge it, but it won’t be comfortable.
