Atletico Madrid - Osasuna

Atletico Madrid aim to sustain the momentum from their emphatic victory over Real Sociedad as they return to the Riyadh Air Metropolitano for this matchday 6 LaLiga encounter on 16 September 2026. After a turbulent spell that included a heavy defeat to Athletic Bilbao, the hosts regained their composure with a commanding 3-0 win last weekend. The expected XI, featuring the creative midfield trio of Koke, Kang-In Lee, and Alejandro Baena, will be tasked with breaking down a visiting side currently navigating a difficult defensive patch.

Osasuna arrive in the capital following consecutive losses, having conceded seven goals in their last two outings. While the visitors look to Ante Budimir to lead the line, they must manage without the injured Jorge Herrando and Moi Gomez. Atletico Madrid, who will be missing Pablo Barrios, hold the edge in recent head-to-head meetings, including a 2-1 victory in May 2026.
