Osasuna have won two of their last four league meetings against Atletico Madrid (two losses), already one more victory than in their previous 20 top-flight encounters against the same opponent (one win, one draw, 18 defeats).
Under Diego Pablo Simeone, Atletico have won eight of their 10 league visits to El Sadar (no draws, two losses). Only at the Estadio Coliseum and Abanca-Balaídos (10 wins each) has Simeone’s side achieved more away victories in the competition, with eight also at the Municipal de Anoeta.
Following a 2-0 win in May 2025 last season, Osasuna have the chance to win two consecutive home games against Atletico in LaLiga for the fourth time in history, first since a streak of four triumphs between 2002 and 2005.
The Pamplona-based side have lost their last two league matches, the third time they have registered back-to-back defeats in the competition this season, the first since November 2025 (two losses).
Atletico Madrid have lost eight of their last 13 matches across all competitions (three wins, two draws), matching the number of defeats they suffered in their previous 40 games (26 wins, six draws, eight losses).

Osasuna have scored in each of their last 38 home league matches at El Sadar (64 goals), the best home scoring streak by any team in the competition since Barcelona’s run of 56 games between 2011 and 2014 (193 goals).
Atletico Madrid have conceded 80 goals in 61 matches across all competitions this season (32 wins, 10 draws, 19 defeats). Only in four campaigns have they allowed more: 94 in 2009/10, 87 in 1952/53 and 1996/97, and 81 in 1999/2000.
Ante Budimir has scored 17 goals in 34 league appearances in 2025/26 but has not recorded a single assist. The Croatian is the player with the most goals without providing a single assist among Europe’s top five leagues this season.
Antoine Griezmann has netted seven goals in 31 league matches, with only one away from home – his lowest away goal tally in a single campaign in the competition (also managed one in 2011/12 and 2024/25).
Diego Pablo Simeone has won 17 and lost three of the 20 league matches he has overseen against Osasuna, his highest number of encounters without a single draw as Atletico Madrid coach in the competition.
