Real Madrid will look to get their league title defence back on track after they had to endure a little snag against Real Betis last weekend. And the Spanish champions will head into fixture off the back of another stalemate result in midweek, this time in the Champions League.

Osasuna, like their opponents, will also have some bouncing back to do, after falling to a disappointing defeat against Celta Vigo on Sunday. However, with survival pretty much sealed, they would surely be forgiven if they make the mistake of being complacent in this fixture.

Real Madrid vs Osasuna Team News

Real Madrid's title hopes suffered a slight hit on a weekend that they could have risen to the summit of the La Liga table, after table-topping Atletico Madrid slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Athletic Bilbao.

However, Madrid currently sit in second position on the league standings, level on 71 points with bitter rivals Barcelona who sit in third-place due to an inferior head-to-head record. Interestingly, Sevilla are not very much far behind in fourth-spot, having accrued an impressive total of 70 points, as the title race continues to heat up.

Quite frankly, Real Madrid have been in a mixed form lately, recording just two wins in their last six matches in all competitions. Although it's worth mentioning that Los Blancos have gone 13 straight games in the La Liga without defeat, a streak stretching as far back as the end of January.

It all ended in a goalless stalemate in Madrid's last league action, which was against an out-of-sorts Real Betis. Zinedine Zidane's much-changed lineup huffed and puffed, but to no avail, as they only managed to squeeze a point out of this fixture. And they followed it up with another stalemate - against Chelsea in the opening leg of their semi-final tie in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Osasuna suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Celta Vigo on Sunday. Just before interval, the hosts grabbed the lead courtesy of an Iago Aspas' goal. And soon after the second period started, Celta Vigo doubled their lead through Jeison Murillo.

Subsequently, Osasuna pulled one back in the 77th minute through Roberto Torres who fired home from the spot. But it barely counted as the hosts held on to their lead, ensuring they picked maximum points, much to the chagrin of Los Rojillos. Consequently, this result saw Osasuna slip out of the top half of the table.

Furthermore, this loss brought Osasuna's undefeated streak of six league games to an end. In fact, they had copped three successive wins before their clash with Celta Vigo. Nonetheless, they will hope to return to winning ways when they travel to the capital on Saturday.
