Atletico Madrid vs Osasuna Prediction: The home team has a seven-match home winning streak

Sunday's pool of the 35th round of the Spanish football championship will continue with the encounter between Atlético de Madrid and Osasuna. The capital city mattresses are the clear favourites, with the Indians not yet guaranteed a place in next season's Champions League but very close to doing so.

Atletico is third in the Spanish standings at the start of the 35th round, two points behind Real Madrid and 12 points ahead of Villarreal. Atlético need only one point to guarantee their presence in the Champions League next season. Also, in terms of motivation, there is a desire to beat Real Madrid in the standings. At the moment, Atletico is two points behind Real Madrid. However, after the club's relegation from the Champions League, we doubt that the Meringues will be able to fulfill their ambition. Atletico has the third-best home statistics in the division, with a goal difference of 11-3-3, 36:14.

After three straight defeats, including the Spanish Cup final defeat by Real Madrid, Osasuna beat Almeria 3:1 on home soil in the last round of La Liga. At the start of the 35th matchday, the Pamplona side is in 9th position with 47 points, only one point less than seventh-placed Girona in the Conference League competitions. There is a sense that Osasuna, unlike Rayo, will still be in contention for the European title. Osasuna's away statistics are 9th in the division, +4=7-6, 12:16 goal difference.

Atletico is above their opponent in terms of level; the Mattress Makers have not yet solved their problems with the Champions League and will try to knock Real Madrid out of second place. Furthermore, the Mattress Makers have a seven-match home winning streak, while Osasuna has three defeats in their last four games on the road. That said, Osasuna is motivated. After their loss in the Spanish Cup, the Pamplona side probably won't give up seventh place, i.e., their position in the Conference League competition. However, we are on the home team's side.
