The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Atletico Madrid take on Osasuna at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday. Atletico Madrid have been excellent this season and are the favourites to win this game.
Osasuna are in 11th place in the La Liga standings at the moment and have been fairly inconsistent this season. The Pamplona-based outfit edged Cadiz to a 3-2 victory earlier this week and will be confident ahead of this game.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, have a two-point lead at the top of the La Liga standings. Los Colchoneros fought their way to a crucial 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad in their previous game and cannot afford to drop points in this fixture.
Atletico Madrid vs Osasuna Head-to-Head
Atletico Madrid have an excellent record against Osasuna and have won 15 games out of a total of 23 matches played between the two teams. Osasuna have managed only five victories against Atletico Madrid and will need to improve their record in this fixture.
The previous meeting between the two La Liga sides took place in October last year and ended in a 3-1 victory for Atletico Madrid. Osasuna were well below their best on the day and will need to step up to the plate this weekend.
