Atl. Madrid vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting Tips (19 May)

Chased off the podium so far by Real Madrid, Barça and Girona, Atlético Madrid has not given up on its hopes of finishing on the box on the evening of the 38th day. The club from the Spanish capital is in fact only 2 small points behind 3rd place Girona and it is therefore largely accessible. Especially since the Colchoneros finished very strongly this season. Indeed, Antoine Griezmann's partners have just won their last 4 matches in La Liga against Bilbao 3-1, Mallorca 0-1, Celta Vigo 1-0 and Getafe 0-3. Opposite, Osasuna is less in seen this year after two rather successful seasons.

Nothing alarming, however, for the club based in Pamplona which is certainly only in 13th place in the ranking but which has a nice lead of 9 points over the relegation zone. Maintenance is therefore assured for the Rojillos who have not won for 6 days. After having suffered 4 defeats in a row against Valencia 0-1, Rayo Vallecano 2-1, Granada 3-0 and Bétis 0-2, the Basques had to settle for 2 draws against Bilbao 2-2 and Mallorca. 1-1 this week.

Unsurprisingly, the unfortunate Thomas Lemar will once again have to give up taking part in this match. Same observation for the starting defender Molina who will also be out. Otherwise, Diego Simeone will be able to count on a complete group including the figurehead of this squad. It is obviously the Frenchman Antoine Griezmann (16 goals, 6 assists) who scored a hat-trick on Wednesday evening against Getafe. His attacking partner Morata (14 goals), the Argentinians Correa (9 goals, 2 assists) and De Paul (single scorer against Celta last weekend) and the former Lyonnais Depay (5 goals) should also be summoned.

Among the visitors, the excellent midfielder Ibanez (1 goal, 1 assist decisive in La Liga) will make his return after being suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards mid-week. Absent in recent weeks, Croatian international Budimir (the club's top scorer in championship with 16 goals) returned to the field this week. Therefore, only Kike Barja (16 appearances this season) and David Garcia (1 assist) remain absent.
