ATLETICO MADRID - OSASUNA

Meet for the 3rd time in 12 days, we were firmly with the team from Pamplona in midweek....

where I argued that, Osasuna would be the more motivated of the two.



Think it is time to jump ship and plunge on Atletico tonight, the hosts are eager to claim a Champions League place and have been big spenders this season. This will be the first of two home games, which precede a very tough February schedule. Future superstar, Sergio Aguero, the 18 yo Argentine player, will return to the starting 11, alongside Fernando Torres.



Osasuna are without six players, Flano is suspended, Delporte injured and Romeo, Corrales, Jusetxo and Milosevic, are all rested. The last 3 named plus Flano, are pretty much first names on the team sheet and are being "saved" for the "tough campaign" ahead. Squad rotation, it seems a little strange, especially so soon after the, admittedly short, winter break.



I expect the hosts to win.



5 points Atletico Madrid -1/4 ball 1.73 asian line.
