Osasuna vs Real Madrid recent form

Osasuna have been one of the surprise packages of the season and the team has won three of their last five matches.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, are coming on the back of an inspiring 3-2 away win over Sevilla. After trailing 2-0 for the most part of the match, the team made a stunning comeback to win the match thanks to an injury-time goal from Karim Benzema.

Before that win, the team won three of their last four matches, with the only defeat coming against Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League.
