Among the 20 clubs that are involved in this league only these two clubs are still remaining to play their first match of the season the rest are done. Real Madrid are ready to host Osasuna for their first match of the season at Santiago Bernabéu, everyone knows that real madrid were not in better form since last season and this season is about to start tonight as for real madrid that are starting today. Osasuna shouldn't be underestimated because of the wonderful performances they showed last season. Base on the performance of both clubs I found it difficult to predict this game unless I see the end.

The biggest worry for me is the start of Xabi Alonso's new season and facing a relatively strong opponent like Osasuna at the beginning. Although on paper Real Madrid are stronger than Osasuna and are the favorites to win, we should not forget that this is the first match of Xabi Alonso's season. We may even see some players make their debuts.

In all aspects, we should not be sure of a Real Madrid win and we should not ignore Osasuna. Because I have doubts about how the new players will perform with the new coach's tactics. Even Madrid's recent performance is not very good. I am not expecting Real Madrid to win yet, because we have to give Xabi Alonso more time and be prepared for unexpected results.

Barcelona win against Mallorca on Saturday will motivate Real Madrid in this game against Osasuna tonight because if Real Madrid loses point they will be giving Barcelona an early edge towards the league title so no matter how difficult Osasuna might prove to be, Xabi Alonso will be ready to use a good strategy to maneuver Osasuna's resistance and since he is aware of the criticisms he might face if they don't win their first match of the season, he will be careful not to make any mistake that will lead him to a bad start so i believe he has kept the players ready ahead of this match and must have figured out a way to record his first La Liga win since he became Real Madrid's head coach. Osasuna can be a very technical opponent but for the fact that Real Madrid is playing from home will give them many advantages.
