Real Madrid vs. Osasuna Picks
Osasuna had a really positive La Liga campaign last year, finishing ninth, their first top 10 finish since 2010-11. Despite this, the rest of the league has got stronger including Real Madrid.
Whilst Los Blancos may be missing some key players, the strong core will still be available for this game.
The strength of the squad, combined with the teams record and fire to win back the league from Barcelona, leaves only one winner in this game, Real Madrid.
Other markets include Kylian Mbappe to score at any time, Arda Guler to get two or more assists and Toni Rudiger to be yellow carded.
