Atlético Madrid return to the Metropolitano on the back of a commanding 3-0 victory over Real Sociedad, though the scoreline flattered them — all three goals arrived after the 80th minute. Osasuna, meanwhile, arrive in the capital in worrying form, having lost their last two matches and conceded seven goals in the process. With a Madrid derby against Real Madrid looming just four days later, Diego Simeone may look to manage his squad's energy and rotate his starting eleven.
Atlético building momentum ahead of the derby
The Rojiblancos have produced a mixed bag of results so far this season. They have claimed three wins from five La Liga fixtures, but their campaign has been punctuated by an unexpected 0-3 thrashing at the hands of Athletic Club sandwiched between victories over Sevilla (3-1) and Real Sociedad (3-0). That most recent triumph was somewhat deceptive in its final scoreline — the match in San Sebastián remained goalless until the 80th minute, when Atlético suddenly erupted with three quick goals. For now, the team is relying more on explosive bursts of quality than sustained, consistent performances across the full 90 minutes.
Simeone's in-game adjustments proved decisive in San Sebastián. Jonathan David, introduced from the bench, scored his first goal for the club, and the Argentine coach was quick to praise the impact of his substitutes — David, Koke, Cardozo, and Ortiz all helped lift the team's intensity in the closing stages. This depth will be crucial against Osasuna, as even if Simeone opts for rotation, he retains serious firepower to change the course of a match from the bench.
Injury concerns persist for Atlético. Barrios is definitely out with a muscle problem, Sørloth continues his recovery, and Álvarez's participation remains doubtful. In this context, David could be handed a more prominent role after his impressive cameo last time out. With the derby against Real Madrid on the horizon, his good form gives Simeone the flexibility to avoid rushing his first-choice attackers back and to distribute minutes more carefully.
Osasuna's over-reliance on Budimir
The Pamplona side started the campaign brightly, collecting seven points from their opening three fixtures. However, their form has since collapsed. They were first thrashed 2-5 by Alavés, then fell 0-2 at home to Espanyol. The most alarming trend is their defensive fragility — after a reasonably solid start, Osasuna have shipped seven goals in just two matches. A trip to the Metropolitano is hardly the ideal setting to arrest that slide, and further defensive lapses could prove extremely costly.
In attack, much still depends on Ante Budimir. The Croatian striker has scored four of Osasuna's five league goals and remains the team's primary finisher. However, Luis Miguel Ramis's options are severely limited by injuries: Valentin Rosier, Jorge Herrando, Aimar Oroz, and Moi Gómez all missed the previous match. The absence of the latter two is particularly damaging, as both play key roles in build-up play and in supplying Budimir with service. Without them, Osasuna's dependence on their main striker becomes even more pronounced, while their ability to feed him the ball in dangerous areas diminishes significantly.

Prediction and betting tips for Atlético Madrid vs Osasuna
Main prediction: Atlético Madrid to win with a -1.5 handicap at 2.10
Atlético have looked solid on home turf this season, remaining unbeaten in two league matches at the Metropolitano, including a comfortable 2-0 victory over Málaga. Osasuna, by contrast, have already suffered a heavy away defeat this term — a 2-5 loss to Alavés — and their narrow 2-1 win over Celta came only after the opposition had a player sent off, with Osasuna trailing 0-1 before that turning point. Historical head-to-head data also favors the hosts: Atlético won both meetings last season (1-0 and 2-1). Add to that their emphatic 3-0 away win over a solid Real Sociedad side in the previous round, and backing the home side to win by at least two goals at 2.10 looks like a sensible wager.
Goals prediction: Both teams to score – No at 1.85
In their last outing, Atlético delivered exactly the kind of defensive performance Simeone would have wanted. Real Sociedad managed just 0.27 xG on their own turf and rarely threatened the visitors' goal. Atlético have already kept a clean sheet at home this season against Málaga (2-0), and Osasuna have historically struggled at the Metropolitano — in four of their last five away meetings, the Pamplona side have failed to find the net. Backing "both teams to score – No" at 1.85 therefore looks like a well-founded bet.
