Betting Preview
Real Madrid’s summer was brief in terms of preparation, featuring a 4-0 friendly win over WSG Tirol before a disappointing 4-0 semi-final loss to PSG in the Club World Cup. Xabi Alonso’s side have strengthened with Dean Huijsen, Alvaro Carreras, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Franco Mastantuono, as they look to close the gap on Barcelona after finishing four points behind last season.

Los Blancos haven’t lost to Osasuna in La Liga since 2011, though the most recent clash in February ended 1-1. The task facing the hosts on Tuesday is therefore a daunting one.
Osasuna collected 52 points from 12 wins, 16 draws and 10 defeats last season, finishing ninth in La Liga and narrowly missing out on European football. Now entering their seventh straight year at this level, Los Rojillos are eyeing another top-half finish, though their summer has been quiet.
