Preview Real Madrid La Liga, Oct 27, 2021

Preview Real Madrid will return following the famous 2-1 El Clásico victory over Barcelona at the weekend. A goal in each half was enough to see the game end with Madrid coming out on top after the contest of ninety minutes. Vinicius Jnr. started the counter-attack after finding Rodrygo with the long ball from deep inside the Madrid half. Looking up, the Spaniard picked out an unmarked David Alaba (32’), who was making the run at the blind side of the defense. The former Bayern man whipped in an exquisite left-footed shot which left Marc-André ter Stegen leaping in resonance as the ball rattled the back of the net. The decision to kill off the game with another goal from Lucas Vazquez (90'+4) deep inside stoppage time in the second half proved decisive as Barcelona would pull one back at the death through Sergio Aguero (90'+7). While Koeman found himself at the end of the fans’ wrath, joy flowed at the Madrid camp. I'm very fortunate, my first Clásico and my first goal, David Alaba said after the game while Lucas Vazquez dedicated the goal to his dad whose birthday was being celebrated. Carlo Ancelotti wasn't left out of the euphoric moment. I'm happy to get the win because the Clásico is the most important game, the Madrid boss said in his post-match interview. We beat them here, we're happy, but unfortunately, it's only three points, he added. With a game in hand, Madrid remains in 2nd place, having 20 points from 6W, 2D, & 0L. Los Blancos are unbeaten in five games: WWWDW, and Carlo Ancelotti will be on the hunt for three more points against sixth-placed Osasuna on Wednesday. A 4—3—3 formation with Karim Benzema in the middle, flanked by Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior, is expected in attack. Earlier in the week, Jović trained with the group, while Isco and Bale worked on their own. Ceballos combined training inside with a session of ball work outside. Meanwhile, Gareth Bale remains sidelined with a knee injury.

Preview Osasuna La Liga, Oct 27, 2021

Preview Ten-men Osasuna were held to a 1-1 draw in the game against Granada last Friday. Ezequiel Ávila (45’) had Los Rojillos in the lead at half-time, before a last-gasp effort from Ángel Montoro (90’) denied Osasuna the victory. The draw saw Osasuna drop one spot from 5th to 6th place with 18 points after 5W, 3D, & 2L, while having a form that reads: LWWWD. Osasuna has bagged a total of 14 goals while conceding thirteen, leaving the club with a G.D. of +1. Jagoba Arrasate will aim for a point on Wednesday when he lines up a defensive 5—4—1 formation with either Kike Garcia or Ruben Garcia in attack against Madrid. José Ángel (R. 74') is suspended for this game following the red card against Granada.
