The final game to be played in La Liga on the 2nd of October is the meeting between Real Madrid and Osasuna.

The match will be played at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu and the hosts begin the weekend top of the table on 18 points while the visitors are in 6th place on 12 points.

Real Madrid come into the game on the back of a 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid in the derby. Having taken the lead on 18 minutes, Real Madrid doubled their advantage 9 minutes before the interval.

Atletico Madrid got a goal back in the 83rd minute but Real Madrid held on to take maximum points.

That result means Real Madrid have won all 9 of their competitive fixtures this season.

In terms of La Liga, they have beat Real Betis and Real Mallorca at home plus Almeria, Celta Vigo, Espanyol, and Atletico Madrid away. Real Madrid are undefeated in their last 9 La Liga matches and have won 7 of those games.

Home form in La Liga shows Real Madrid are undefeated in 30 of their last 31 matches. They have won 5 of their last 6 league fixtures on home soil and have scored 2 or more goals in each of those 5 victories.

However, Real Madrid have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 2 home league matches.

Osasuna make the trip to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu having previously beat Real Valladolid 2-0 away from home in a friendly game.

However, their most recent La Liga fixture before the international break ended in a 2-0 home loss against Getafe.

The visitors opened the scoring in the 30th minute and Osasuna were reduced to 10 men shortly before half time. Getafe added a second goal 14 minutes from time.

That result means Osasuna have won 4 and lost 2 of their league matches this season. The wins have come at home against Sevilla, Cadiz, and Rayo Vallecano. There has been an away win at Almeria but also a defeat on the road at Real Betis.

Away form in the league shows Osasuna have been struggling to pick up wins. They have recorded only 2 wins in their 9 most recent away trips. Osasuna have found the back of the net in 5 of their last 7 away La Liga games.

Team news and Real Madrid are expected to be without central midfielder Luka Modric, who has a hip injury.

Osasuna will be without the suspended Ezequiel Ávila following his red card. Kike Saverio is a doubt due to a tendon injury.

Real Madrid should have enough to overcome a stubborn Osasuna team and maintain their 100% start to the season.

Osasuna could make like difficult and score but we expect Real Madrid to score the goals required to take maximum points.
