Osasuna - Atlético Madrid betting tips and odds

Though the match can honestly go either way, Osasuna will be at a bit of a disadvantage. Their victory is priced at 3.45 despite the home-field advantage, so they’ll need to bring their A-game.

Atlético Madrid have their work cut out for them this Thursday. Most bookmakers online see them as the stronger team, made evident by the 2.25 betting odds for an away win. That’s a fairly slim advantage, though.

In the previous round, most La Liga betting predictions went with the obvious choice of expecting Osasuna to win. After all, they were the hosts. However, the match never really went anywhere for them, ultimately ending with an HT/FT draw after a long and indecisive struggle.

Los Rojiblancos are coming off from a decisive home victory against Real Madrid. At odds of 2.80 on a home win, few expected such a result – though Los Rojiblancos already established dominance in the first half.

Considering their recent record, we can expect the home team to score highly in this match. They recorded 5 goals over their latest 3 away games, so we can expect a solid performance when they have home-field advantage.

You may want to look at Los Rojiblancos as good candidates for markets like BTTS bets or Over 5 Goals. They have more than 5 goals on record from their previous 3 games alone.

Osasuna no doubt have their sights set on a UEFA qualification spot, but getting there won’t be easy. They’ll need to close a 3-point gap to get into the upper positions on the table, but a victory this Thursday seems like a long shot in its own right.

With a total of 10 points to their name after 7 games this season, Atletico’s start was decent enough. Their short-term goal would be to earn 3 points and move further up the ladder, though matchups like Osasuna mean that that’s easier said than done.

Los Rojiblancos are widely considered the favourites despite playing on Osasuna’s home turf, and a quick look at the history of this matchup explain’s why. In the previous season, Atletico handily won a match between the two teams with a hefty goal lead.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Thomas Lemar, Rodrigo De Paul, Reinildo, P. Rivas, Çağlar Söyüncü due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, Moncayola, Unai García, Darko Brašanac have also reported injuries.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.1, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
