Real Madrid vs. Osasuna
- When: Saturday, October 07, 2023 - 10:15 AM EDT
- Where: Santiago Bernabeu Stadium
- Win/Loss Record (Last 5): Real Madrid W/W/W/L/W – Osasuna W/L/D/L/L
Real Madrid vs. Osasuna Stats, Odds, & Prediction
- Both teams have scored in 3 of the last 4 meetings between Real Madrid & Osasuna
- Osasuna has netted 2 goals in all five of their away games in all competitions this term
- Real Madrid has scored at least 1 goal in all four of their home games this season
Recovering From a Battle in Italy
In late September, Carlo Ancelotti and his Real Madrid unit suffered a painful loss in the Madrid derby. However, the Spanish capital still belongs to La Casa Blanca in terms of success garnered this season.
Since this defeat, we’ve watched the likes of Jude Bellingham put on superstar performances, and the team has now collected 21 points from a possible 24; they sit atop La Liga and have also succeeded in two consecutive Champions League meetings with Union Berlin and Napoli as they control Group C.
A midweek fight to the death versus Napoli could provide tired legs this weekend. Still, we expect Los Blancos to feel confident about heading into the international break with another domestic win on home soil, with a mid-tier Osasuna visiting the Bernabeu on Saturday.
Goals Aren’t a Problem
Unfortunately for this weekend’s traveling side, they have faltered against Real Madrid for over a decade and have failed to record a win in all competitions versus this club since 2011.
However, Jagoba Arrasate’s men managed to collect a point at the Bernabeu last season, and a repeat result or more will be on their minds as they’ll be the fresher of the two teams coming off a full week's rest.
La Liga Matchday 9 Betting Odds & Predictions
Unsurprisingly, the La Liga betting odds have placed a huge moneyline price tag on Real Madrid, and we don’t need to pretend we’re surprised at the juice.
That said, backing a side doesn’t provide betting value. However, a wager on both teams to score holds an excellent set of odds at -105 with Everygame.
Osasuna has scored exactly two goals in all five of their road games this term, and they also put one past Barcelona on home soil. Considering this squad has also scored against Madrid in two consecutive away meetings, and the home side is depleted from a strenuous midweek clash, expecting the visitors to score at least one isn’t that crazy to imagine.
As for Real Madrid, it’s an incredibly rare occasion when this squad doesn’t net at least one goal at the Bernabeu. Additionally, with the current form of Bellingham, he’ll likely involve himself in the goal-scoring opportunities for Madrid by himself, whether it’s a goal or an assist.
Score Prediction: Real Madrid 3 – Osasuna 2

RB Leipzig vs. VfL Bochum
- When: Saturday, October 07, 2023 - 09:30 AM EDT
- Where: Red Bull Arena
- Win/Loss Record (Last 5): Leipzig L/D/W/W/W – Bochum L/L/D/D/D
RB Leipzig vs. VfL Bochum Stats, Odds, & Prediction
- Leipzig has defeated Bochum by 2 or more goals in 4 of these clubs last 6 encounters
- Bochum has lost by 2 or more goals in 3 of their 6 Bundesliga games this term
- Bayern Munich defeated Bochum 7-0, while Leipzig held the German champions to a 2-2 tie
Positive Start
With four wins, one draw, and one loss, life as an RB Leipzig has been positive through six Bundesliga gamedays. And with a struggling Bochum squad visiting the Red Bull Arena on Saturday, an undefeated streak could be extended since week two of the season.
Midweek UCL misery struck Leipzig when a traveling Manchester City unit broke this team's unbeaten record on home turf this season. However, the bigger picture reveals how Marco Rose has guided his team to fifth position in the Bundesliga table – netting 16 goals from a six-game stretch.
Winless in the Bundesliga
VfL Bochum won’t be ecstatic for Saturday’s clash. It’ll be their fourth meeting versus a team sitting inside the top five of the table, and they’re one of three teams sitting at rock bottom of the division without a win to their name.
Things get worse when you look at Bochum’s defensive statistics. Thomas Letsch’s backline has failed to gel this term, allowing 19 goals to position themselves with the highest goals-against tally this term.
Bundesliga Matchday 7 Betting Odds & Predictions
The Bundesliga odds have placed a huge price on the Leipzig moneyline, and we didn’t expect anything less.
The Bundesliga’s worst defensive record (19) faces Leipzig away from home, a team that owns the fourth-best offensive record (16) and won this fixture 4-0 last season.
We can boost our odds on Leipzig with the point spread. It won’t be challenging for the home team to penetrate the division's worst defense and second-worst offense, as Bochum’s winless run will continue into the international break.
Score Prediction: RB Leipzig 4 – VfL Bochum 1
