Summary
- Atletico Madrid sits 5th in La Liga with 13 points
- Julián Álvarez has netted 6 goals for Atletico this season
- Osasuna occupies 12th place with 10 points, struggling for consistency
On Saturday, October 18th, 2025, Atletico Madrid will host Osasuna in an intriguing La Liga encounter at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Both sides will be looking to secure crucial points, with the hosts seeking to climb the table.
Atletico Madrid, currently sitting 5th in the La Liga table with 13 points from 8 matches, has shown glimpses of their potential this season. The Rojiblancos are nearing a full-strength squad in terms of fitness, which is a significant boost for manager Diego Simeone. However, Clement Lenglet will be suspended for this weekend's match.
The return of José María Giménez from a two-month injury absence provides Simeone with additional defensive options, which will be crucial as Atletico looks to solidify their backline. Julián Álvarez has been the standout performer for the club, netting 6 goals in 8 La Liga appearances and establishing himself as the team's primary attacking threat.
Osasuna, on the other hand, currently occupies 12th position in La Liga with 10 points from 8 games. The Navarrese side has struggled for consistency but remains competitive under their experienced manager, Alessio Lisci. The absence of Aimar Oroz, one of their most creative players, due to a foot injury will be a significant blow for Osasuna.
