Atletico Calatayud vs Osasuna 29.10.2026 0:6: Score, Result & Match Stats

Atlético Calatayud is on the verge of what could be the most significant fixture in the club’s history. This amateur side, plying its trade in the sixth tier of Spanish football, has cracked the main draw of the Copa del Rey for the very first time and drawn La Liga outfit Osasuna as opponents. The Pamplona-based team recently parted ways with their manager and brought back a familiar face in Jagoba Arrasate. Now the revamped visitors must prove their favourite status on the road against a host that has barely dropped points all season.

Tactical Analysis: Atlético Calatayud

Calatayud compete in Group 2 of the Aragón Regional Preferente – the sixth division of Spanish football. Luis Leal’s men have stormed through the early campaign: seven wins and a single draw from eight matches. In their most recent outing, they netted three times in a ten-minute burst during the second half, and a red card on the hour mark did not stop them from protecting the lead. With 22 points, they sit top of the table and enter the cup tie unbeaten in league action.

Founded in 1995, Atlético Calatayud will make their debut in the Copa del Rey’s proper bracket. Last season they were eliminated in the preliminary round, losing twice to Catalan side Atlètic Sant Just (0‑3 and 1‑4). This time around they progressed after two victories over Bastán (2‑0 at home, 2‑1 away). As a result, the San Íñigo stadium will host a main‑stage national cup match for the first time in 35 years.

Tactical Analysis: Osasuna

Osasuna have collected only 11 points from ten La Liga rounds and managed just one win in their last seven fixtures. The team’s main headache remains an inconsistent attack – even in positive results they often struggle to create clear‑cut chances – while defensive errors regularly cost them points. Those poor outcomes cost Luis Miguel Ramis his job, and in October the club turned to a well‑known figure: Jagoba Arrasate. His return began with a 2‑0 victory over Racing Santander, but momentum stalled immediately as they fell 0‑2 to Sevilla. The managerial change has not yet solved all the issues, and a cup meeting with a sixth‑tier side offers a chance to rebuild confidence.

In last season’s Copa del Rey, Osasuna navigated three rounds. They thrashed regional‑level Sant Jordi 5‑0, then overcame fourth‑tier Ebro in a 5‑3 thriller. In the round of 16 they met Segunda side Huesca and needed extra time to win 4‑2. The run ended in the next round: after a 2‑2 draw with Real Sociedad, they lost 3‑4 on penalties. Now Arrasate begins a new cup journey – notably, it was under his guidance that the club reached the 2023 final.

Prediction and Bet

Main prediction: Atlético Calatayud +3.5 handicap Calatayud arrive at this historic encounter in outstanding form – seven wins and a draw from eight league outings. Last year’s Copa del Rey showed that Osasuna do not always steamroll lower‑division opponents. They beat fourth‑tier Ebro only 5‑3 and needed extra time to overcome Huesca 4‑2. Given the visitors’ recent poor results, likely squad rotation, and the hosts’ confident league displays, we expect Calatayud to avoid a heavy defeat. The +3.5 handicap looks appealing.

Total prediction: Both teams to score – yes Calatayud have scored in every single league match this season. Osasuna’s defence is far from watertight – they have conceded in six of their last seven La Liga games. In last year’s cup, they also leaked goals against lower‑tier sides: Ebro (three) and Huesca (two, before extra time). Moreover, the visitors play just two days after a 0‑2 loss to Sevilla, so rotation may further weaken their backline. Backing both teams to find the net seems a solid option.
