Julio Maldonado "Maldini" has already given his prediction for the Osasuna vs. Real Madrid. The journalist, known for his analyses on YouTube, gives a 50% chance of victory for Madrid, a 30% chance for a draw, and a 20% chance for Osasuna.

A Match Conditioned by the Champions League

Real Madrid arrives at the match after a huge effort in the Champions League against Manchester City. The victory at the Etihad was a great joy for Ancelotti's team, but it also left a significant physical and mental toll.

Osasuna, meanwhile, won't be able to count on Boyomo, a significant defensive loss. El Sadar is a challenging stadium, but it hasn't been a difficult field for Madrid in recent years. They even won a league title in Pamplona.

Maldini believes that Real Madrid's line-up could undergo several changes. The toll from the City match forces Ancelotti to rest his stars. This opens the door for footballers with fewer minutes this season.

Arda Güler, Brahim Díaz, and Luka Modric could have a prominent role. The big question is whether Ancelotti will dare to rest key players like Mbappé, Vinícius, Rodrygo, or Bellingham.

Madrid, Obligated to Win to Maintain the Lead

Despite the fatigue, Real Madrid can't afford a slip-up in Pamplona. If they don't secure the three points, they could lose the lead in the final stretch of the season.

Osasuna, although far from the fight for Europe, will look to surprise at home. The atmosphere at El Sadar will be hostile, but Real Madrid has already shown they know how to endure in these types of scenarios.

The duel promises to be intense and full of emotion. The toll from the Champions League will play a key role, but Madrid remains the favorite. As Maldini says, the 50% chance of victory for the whites is a reflection of the team's level.
