Atlético de Madrid will be fielding Julián Álvarez as they prepare to take on Osasuna, who will maintain their typical lineup with one notable exception. Rubén Peña steps in for the injured Rubén García on the right flank.
Osasuna’s strategy relies on their solid four-man defense as they aim to secure points to boost their chances of European competition. Ante Budimir will be crucial to this effort, as he looks to add to his goal tally and approach the impressive number of twenty.
On the other side, Diego Pablo Simeone has made just a single adjustment to the team that faced Real Sociedad, bringing Julián Álvarez in from the bench while Lino will now sit. Sørloth, who is currently enjoying a goal-scoring streak, will lead the attack for the Atlético side.
The starting lineups are as follows:
Osasuna will feature Sergio Herrera in goal, with Areso, Boyomo, Catena, and Juan Cruz in defense. The midfield includes Pablo Ibáñez, Torró, and Aimar, supporting forwards Peña, Budimir, and Bryan.
Meanwhile, Atlético de Madrid’s lineup showcases Oblak, Llorente, Le Normand, Giménez, Javi Galán, Koke, Barrios, De Paul, Giuliano, Julián Álvarez, and Sørloth.
This match-up presents a competitive landscape as both teams battle for crucial points in the league, and fans can expect an intense game filled with determination from both sides.
