Real Madrid vs Osasuna Preview, Odds, and Predictions – 19/08/2025

Real Madrid will kick off their 2025-26 La Liga campaign with a home match against Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday, August 19, 2025. After a disappointing end to their 2024-25 season and a humbling defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup, Los Blancos are eager to reclaim their dominance under new head coach Xabi Alonso. Osasuna, led by Alessio Lisci, will look to challenge the Spanish giants, despite a historically lopsided head-to-head record.

Real Madrid have won 62 of their 95 matches against Osasuna, with 20 draws and just 1 victory for Osasuna, which came in 2004. Los Blancos are unbeaten in their last 23 encounters against the visitors, setting the stage for a tough test for Osasuna at the Bernabéu.

Real Madrid vs Osasuna Best Bets

Real Madrid vs Osasuna Preview

Real Madrid enters the match under pressure to rebound from their summer setbacks, bolstered by defensive reinforcements including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, and Álvaro Carreras. However, injuries to Jude Bellingham (shoulder surgery), Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, Endrick, and a suspension for Antonio Rüdiger will test the squad’s depth. Éder Militão and Dean Huijsen are expected to anchor the backline, with Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior leading the attack.

Osasuna, coming off an eighth-place finish last season, are nearly fully fit with only Iker Benito sidelined. Ante Budimir, who scored 24 goals last season, will be the focal point of their attack, supported by a squad that includes Rubén García, who is back in training and likely to feature as a substitute.

Both teams have shown offensive promise in pre-season, with Real Madrid scoring 11 goals in their last 5 matches and Osasuna netting 7. Given Real Madrid’s attacking prowess and their historical scoring trend against Osasuna, a game exceeding 3.5 goals seems likely.

Real Madrid vs Osasuna Final Scoreline Prediction

Despite their injury concerns, Real Madrid’s superior squad quality and home advantage should see them extend their 23-game unbeaten streak against Osasuna. Mbappé’s current form and Vinícius Júnior’s historical success against Osasuna (8 goals in 12 games) give Los Blancos an edge. Osasuna’s Budimir may find the net, but it’s unlikely to be enough.

Final Prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Osasuna
