Real Madrid will travel to Pamplona this Saturday to face Osasuna in the 22nd round of the 2022/23 La Liga season.
After a bright start to 2023 (D3, L1), the hosts have faltered in La Liga lately, failing to win any of their last four league games (D3, L1). They will need to promptly snap out if they’re to maintain hopes of qualifying for Europe for the first time since the 2005/06 season.
But they haven’t beaten the real Madrid here since January 2011 (D3, L5), conceding at least twice in five of the last six home head-to-head meetings.

Real Madrid bounced back from a run of poor results in the league last time when they defeated bottom-of-the-table Elche 4-0. The win came after they returned from Morrocco, where they won the Club World Cup.
They are trailing Barcelona by eight points and will know they cannot drop further points if they hope to defend their title successfully.
The visitors have recently alternated between wins and defeat in away league action (W3, L3), and their last away game against Mallorca saw them fail to score on the road for the first time in La Liga this term (1-0 defeat).
But having scored 13 times in their last three games, drawing another blank seems unlikely. So the correct score prediction for this tie is over 2.5 goals scored.
