Suspense of the La Liga opening game: Real Madrid s defense is concerned, can it break the Osasuna iron barrel formation?

At 3 a.m. on August 20, the first round of La Liga will usher in a focus matchup, with Real Madrid facing Osasuna at the Bernabeu. In the first round of the new season, both teams are eager to start their journey with a victory.

Look at the confrontation record first, Real Madrid can be called Osasuna's "divorce". In the last 10 encounters, Real Madrid won 7 wins and 3 draws, and remained unbeaten; in the match between home and away, Real Madrid even drew 8 wins and 2 draws, with a huge advantage. Real Madrid's dominance in past games has brought considerable psychological pressure to Osasuna players. For example, last season's home game against Osasuna, Real Madrid had a ball possession rate of up to 65%, and shot as many as 18 times, completely suppressing their opponents on the offensive end.

Looking at the recent state, Real Madrid has 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 10 games. In the last warm-up match of Austrian team Wattens, Mbappe made 3 goals alone and was in a hot state. The team has averaged 2.1 goals in the last 10 games, and its offensive firepower is fierce. But Real Madrid is not impeccable. Their defense leader Rudiger was injured, which is a big blow to the defense.

Osasuna has been slightly sluggish in her last 10 games, with 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. He has averaged 1.3 goals and conceded 1.4 goals in his last 10 games, and his offense and defense performance is average. However, they have their own tactical characteristics, are good at defensive counterattacks, and often set up iron barrel formations to compress the opponent's offensive space. Last season they tied Real Madrid 1-1 away.

The probability of Real Madrid winning this game is relatively high. Score prediction, Real Madrid 2-0 Osasuna, another possibility is Real Madrid 3-1 Osasuna.
