Madridistas Can Land Title at Osasuna

Villarreal’s 1-0 win over Real Betis last Sunday, robbed Real Madrid of the chance of closing out La Liga’s title race, shortly after at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Bernd Schuster’s Galacticos can however, gain back-to-back Primera Championships for the first time in 18 years by winning at Osasuna this weekend.

Despite last weekend’s 3-0 home win, the La Liga title lies tantalisingly out of reach of the clutches of Real Madrid.

Los Blancos need just one more victory to put second placed Villarreal, mathematically out of reach, but could be crowned champions before Sunday’s game at Osasuna, if the Yellow Submarine fail to beat Getafe beforehand.

Real Madrid coach, Bernd Schuster, will be keen to wrap things up this weekend, ahead of El Classico at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.

The Madridista faithful would dearly love to parade the La Liga trophy ahead of that game, rather than give Barcelona the chance to spoil their party.

Osasuna have plenty of motivation themselves to rain on the Meringues’ parade.

Los Rojillos are one of a handful of clubs in a relegation dogfight, so can be guaranteed to make this an uncomfortable night for the league leaders, more so than Athletic Bilbao last weekend.

Unfortunately for the home side their recent record at the Estadio Reyno de Navarra is poor, losing three consecutive home games without scoring.

Real Madrid have also won on the last three visits, including a 4-1 thrashing last season.

THE VERDICT

I think that Real Madrid want to wrap up the La Liga title this weekend so as to not allow Barcelona any chance of spoiling a good party, and if they need to win the game - then they will.

Wait until after the Villarreal result comes in - and then (quickly) get on Real Madrid if/when Villarreal beat Getafe.
