Real Madrid currently sit atop the La Liga table, two points clear of Barcelona, after picking up eight consecutive victories in league play. Real Madrid have won four of the past five meetings against Osasuna, and I'm backing Los Blancos to secure all three points on the road. Real Madrid is widely known for their attacking prowess, but the backline has conceded just 19 goals in league play, the fewest in the league.
I believe that this line will close around -200. We're getting a good line right now because Real Madrid do have a UCL fixture before this match that is going to take some of their energy and test the limits of their players as they play Benfica. The reason I'm still taking this is due to Espanyol's brutal form right now. They played so well for so long but have seemingly hit their limit. They've lost four of their last five, and drew the fifth. I think even if Real Madrid rotate, needing points in the title race, they'll win.
