Atletico Madrid are back in action with another important La Liga fixture this weekend as they take on Osasuna on Saturday. Both teams have been impressive this season and will want to win this game.
Osasuna are in seventh place in the La Liga standings and have exceeded expectations so far this season. The Pamplona-based outfit suffered a 2-0 defeat against Real Sociedad earlier this month and will need to bounce back in this match.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and are yet to hit their stride this season. The reigning La Liga champions played out a 3-3 draw against Valencia in their previous game and will need to step up this weekend.
Atletico Madrid vs Osasuna Head-to-Head
Atletico Madrid have an impressive record against Osasuna and have won 16 out of 26 matches played between the two teams. Osasuna have managed seven victories against Atletico Madrid and will need to improve their record in this fixture.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in May this year and ended in a 2-1 victory for Atletico Madrid. Osasuna gave a good account of themselves on the day and will need to be more robust this weekend.
