Osasuna vs Real Madrid: Can the Hosts Take Advantage of the Visitors' Hot Schedule?

Wednesday's pool of round 33 will end with a match between Osasuna and Real Madrid. Real, as almost champion and also, as a semifinalist of the Champions League, is quoted in the pair as a favorite. However, we will pay attention to the fact that the last two matches of the capital team were given with great difficulty, we will not be surprised if in the upcoming match Madrid team will lose points, due to fatigue.

Many would say that Osasuna has no tournament motivation for the upcoming match and they seem to be right. But, in fact, Pamplona had no tournament motivation for the game against Valencia, but they brought three points from the Mestalla. Obviously, it's hard to compare Valencia and Real Madrid CF in terms of class, but before the game against the Violets, Osasuna were not impressive in away games, demonstrating their potential to a greater extent in home games. Osasuna are in sixth place, behind only teams that are fighting for the top spot in La Liga. Osasuna's home statistics are 15th in the division, with five wins in 16 games.

In April, Real Madrid had already played five matches in two tournaments, and the last two matches were extremely exhausting for the Merengues. First, Real Madrid made it to the UCL semifinals, losing to Chelsea, but winning the clash with the Aristocrats due to two goals. In the last round of the Spanish La Liga, Real Madrid won away over Sevilla 3:2, although they lost to the southerners by two goals. The last two matches for Real Madrid were difficult not only in terms of physics but also morale, so we would not be surprised if after such two deeds, Real Madrid will have problems in earning points. It's worth noting that Real Madrid has the best away statistics in the division, with 12 wins in 16 games and two losses.

Osasuna lacks motivation but Real Madrid is perfectly motivated. Barcelona made a cool gift to Real, losing to Cadiz on their field on Monday. This gift can also be felt by Osasuna, as Real Madrid are now 15 points ahead of their nearest pursuer with just a few rounds remaining. We think that Real Madrid's decreased motivation after beating Sevilla and defeating Barça from Cadiz, as well as the tiredness of the Merengues will help Pamplona gain points in the upcoming game.

Moreover, we will not be surprised if Osasuna will take advantage of the current situation by outplaying the leader of the championship on its field.
