Real Madrid will entertain Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga action on Sunday (October 2) as they resume their league campaign following the international break.
The hosts have got their title defence off to a brilliant start and have a 100% record after six games. They have continued their rich form in the UEFA Champions League too, winning both games.
Los Blancos produced a solid display in the Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid before the international break. First-half goals from Rodrygo and Federico Valverde helped them to a 2-1 win.
Osasuna, meanwhile, have also got their season off to a decent start and are in fifth place in the standings. They fell to a 2-0 home defeat to Getafe last time around and will look to improve on that here.

Real Madrid vs Osasuna Prediction
The hosts have been in splendid form this season, winning nine games across competitions. They have a few injury concerns for this one. Luka Modric is out with a muscle injury, while Lucas Vasquez is also sidelined with an injury. Star striker Karim Benzema is back in training and might start from the bench.
Los Rojillos, meanwhile, have four wins in six games this term and might prove to be a tricky opponent for Madrid. Nonetheless, Madrid have enough squad depth to overcome Osasuna as they seek to extend their perfect start to the season.
