Real Madrid are looking to bounce back from two consecutive defeats in all competitions with a home game against Club Atl\u00e9tico Osasuna this weekend. Read on for our predictions for that game plus the rest of the La Liga matches on matchday 13.<\/p>\n
If the Madrid-based media<\/a> are anything to base judgement upon, you\u2019d think Real Madrid are in a relegation battle. The reality is they\u2019ve lost their last two matches in all competitions by an aggregate score of 7-1 but remain in second place in La Liga. While the talk of a \u201ccrisis\u201d might be a slight overreaction, it is true that there are increasing concerns about how this Madrid team is functioning together.<\/p>\n If Los Blancos are intent on turning things around before they escalate, they’ll have to hope their front line pulls its weight defensively against CA Osasuna. The team from Pamplona have only lost one of their past seven La Liga matches and have shot into 5th place in the league. They’ll become the third consecutive team to win at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u if they do manage the result. However, three losses on the trot seems a little too far-fetched for a Madrid team of this quality.<\/p>\n LWOF Prediction:<\/strong> Real Madrid 2-0 CA Osasuna<\/p>\n Read More: <\/strong>La Liga News: Barcelona Vs Atletico Miami Match Denied But Will Try Again In 2025<\/a><\/p>\n League leaders FC Barcelona face a trip to the city of San Sebasti\u00e1n to play Real Sociedad in Sunday\u2019s late kickoff. Los Culers have a nine-point lead over their closest rivals (albeit Madrid have a game in hand) and haven’t been able to stop scoring. Their 36-year-old front man, Robert Lewandowski, will be looking to add to his 14 league goals against his mid-table opponents.<\/p>\n LWOF Prediction:<\/strong> Real Sociedad 1-4 FC Barcelona<\/p>\n Atl\u00e9tico Madrid produced a remarkable win away to PSG in midweek, having suffered for 90 minutes with a heavily weakened defence. It’s unlikely Jose Mar\u00eda Gim\u00e9nez and Robin Le Normand will be back for their match against RCD Mallorca on Sunday, so they will need another resolute performance from their back line. The Balearics were unable to continue their good form last week, going down 1-0 away to Deportivo Alav\u00e9s amidst difficult circumstances<\/a>.<\/p>\n LWOF Prediction:<\/strong> RCD Mallorca 0-1 Atl\u00e9tico Madrid<\/p>\n Getafe CF have drawn seven of the twelve La Liga games they have played so far this season, winning just once. They have their heads above the relegation zone for now but will want to accumulate more points when they host a damaged Girona on Sunday. Girona were battered 4-0 away to PSV in the Champions League and are struggling with the demands of European football.<\/p>\n LWOF Prediction:<\/strong> Getafe CF 1-0 Girona FC<\/p>\n It’s also time for a win for Real Valladolid, who have won just once since the three points they picked up on the opening day of the season. They will welcome Athletic Club to Pucela, with the Basques only registering one win in their last five league matches. They will also have to shake off the effects of a Thursday away trip to Bulgaria in the Europa League.<\/p>\nTime to Push Up The Table<\/h3>\n
