Fixture Analysis

It is a La Liga clash, Regular Season - 24 as Osasuna welcome Atletico Madrid to Estadio El Sadar. Kick-off is set for Sunday 14 February 2027 at 16:00 UTC.

Recent Form

Across all La Liga games this season, Osasuna have gone 2W 2D 6L from 10 outings — a 0.80 PPG return. Last five: L L L L L. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.50 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. Osasuna haven't played a La Liga game yet this season, so this record is entirely from last season.

In front of their own supporters this season, Osasuna have posted 4W 3D 3L at Estadio El Sadar — 1.50 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.60 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 90% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.50 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.80 — Osasuna are significantly better at Estadio El Sadar than their overall form suggests.

Atletico Madrid — All Games: 4W 0D 6L from 10 La Liga fixtures this season — 1.20 PPG. Last five: W L W W L. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.90. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. Atletico Madrid haven't played a La Liga game yet this season, so this record is entirely from last season.

When travelling in La Liga this season, Atletico Madrid have posted 3W 2D 5L from 10 away outings — 1.10 PPG. Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

The form comparison is too close to call — 0.80 PPG (Osasuna) versus 1.20 (Atletico Madrid). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Osasuna register both teams scoring in 90% of relevant matches, Atletico Madrid in 60% (using home/away splits) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

H2H Record

The previous 10 encounters between these sides heavily favour Atletico Madrid, who boast 8 victories compared to 2 for Osasuna.

The 10 previous meetings have averaged 2.2 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 12 May 2026, ended 1–2 with Atletico Madrid winning.

It is worth noting that Atletico Madrid have a superior record in this fixture despite their visitor status — 8 wins from 10 meetings. Home advantage alone is not a sufficient reason to dismiss that track record.

In-Play Data

Osasuna trading profile (38 games, 19 at home): they score before half-time in 79% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; BTTS occurs in 74% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 63% of games (home games); they fail to score in 32% of games.

Atletico Madrid trading profile (38 games, 19 at away): they score before half-time in 63% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 91% of the time; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Osasuna 55% versus Atletico Madrid 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Osasuna 50% | Atletico Madrid 50%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Osasuna 1.63 xG and Atletico Madrid 1.29 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Osasuna attack 0.959 / defence 1.083 | Atletico Madrid attack 1.065 / defence 1.053. League average goals — home 1.617 / away 1.119. Data: 38 Osasuna games / 38 Atletico Madrid games used (PrevSeason). Note: current-season sample is too small — prior-season data is carrying the calculation. Model confidence is reduced; treat probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Osasuna 45% | Draw 24% | Atletico Madrid 30%. Fair-value odds: Osasuna 2.22 | Draw 4.17 | Atletico Madrid 3.33. Osasuna hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 58% | Total xG 2.92. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.92 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 58% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Osasuna are the pick at 45% — moderate model lean. With a 24% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Osasuna offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.92 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 56% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 58%. Form rates corroborate: Osasuna 90% | Atletico Madrid 60% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects. The Poisson model is drawing on PrevSeason data (38 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
