As for Osasuna, they have not managed to beat Real Madrid since 2011. Moreover, Los Blancos defeated them in the Copa del Rey final last season.
But Jagoba Arrasate’s side did manage to claim a point in a 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu in La Liga last season. Osasuna will be the fresher side between the two as they did not play any game this mid-week.
Los Rojillos finished seventh in La Liga last season, but they lost in the Europa Conference League playoff round to Club Brugge and have found it difficult to show consistency in the league this term.
Real Madrid Team News
Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, and Arda Guler are unable for selection, whereas Nacho will serve his suspension due to his red card in the clash with Girona. David Alaba will be assessed and can be included.
Eduardo Camavinga could start in midfield, with Ferland Mendy getting the notch to start at left-back for the first time this season.
Osasuna Team News
For the visitors, first-team players Moi Gomez and Unai Garcia will miss the clash against Madrid. Johan Mojica’s participation is also in doubt.
However, Ezequiel Avila is available again after serving his suspension. Ante Budimir, who scored against Los Blancos last time, is expected to start against them.
Real Madrid vs Osasuna Predicted line-ups
Real Madrid (4-3-1-2): Kepa; Carvajal, Rudiger, Alaba, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Bellingham; Vinicius, Rodrygo

Osasuna are a tricky side, and they made things difficult for Real Madrid last season when they played at the Bernabeu. However, Los Blancos have been consistent and scoring goals this season despite injuries to some important players.
