Atlético Madrid vs CA Osasuna - 16/05/2021
3100
Atletico Madrid are just two wins away from securing the La Liga title. Next up for Diego Simeone’s side, Osasuna visit Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday.
Atletico have led the way for much of the season and currently sit a couple of points clear of the chasing pack, which comprises Real Madrid, Barcelon and Sevilla.
On the flip side, Osasuna find themselves eleventh on 44 points – 13 points clear of the relegation zone and 36 points behind Atleti.
Simeone’s men secure a vitally important 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad on Wednesday, with Yannick Carrasco and Angel Correa grabbing the goals.
Atletico have only lost one of their last seven league games and have suffered just two defeats in their previous 13.
Having lost just one of their opening 22 matches this season, Atleti looked set to clinch the La Liga title with ease.
But while Simeone’s men have struggled to maintain their consistency in recent weeks, the chasing pack has closed the gap.
Still, with just two games remaining this term, Atletico are in pole position to wrap up their first top-flight crown since 2013/14.
Osasuna are also enjoying a positive run of results at the moment, having lost just two of their last ten matches.
Four wins and four draws have seen the club cement a place in mid-table, with a top-half finish now very much achievable.
Osasuna claimed a 3-2 win over Cadiz in midweek, thanks largely to a brace from Croatian forward Ante Budmir.
In fact, Budmir is Osasuna’s leading scorer this season, having bagged 11 goals in 30 appearances while on loan from Mallorca.
Following a wretched start to the campaign, a much-improved Osasuna side will fancy their chances of upsetting the odds on Sunday and disrupting the title race.
Head-to-head: Atletico Madrid beat Osasuna 3-1 in the reverse fixture earlier in the season, with Joao Felix scoring twice on that occasion.
It is also worth noting that Atletico have claimed five straight wins over Osasuna and have only lost one of their previous 14 meetings.
Team news: Simeone will be pleased that he has a fully-fit squad ahead of the final two games of the season.
As for Osasuna, goalkeeper Ruben Martinez and midfielder Inigo Perez are both currently sidelined through injury.
Having got to this point, Atletico Madrid aren’t expected to throw all their hard work away against Osasuna.
Forebet predicts that Atletico will score over 2.5 goals and keep a clean sheet on their way to crushing Osasuna.
