Granada takes on Osasuna on October 19, 2019, at the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes in Spanish La Liga action.
Granada’s trip to the Santiago Bernabeu ended in defeat as Real Madrid won a 4-2 contest against the upstart team. The visiting team fought back from a 0-3 deficit behind goals from Darwin Machis and Domingo Duarte but they could not equalize and get a point from Real Madrid. With the win, Madrid kept their place on top of the league while Granada fell to 4th place at four points behind.
After a big upset win over Barcelona, Granada had briefly taken the top spot in the EPL standings. Granada followed that up with a draw against Valladolid and a win against Leganes. However, Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid was too much to handle for this newly promoted side.
Granada is currently tied for 4th place with a Goal Difference of +5 goals. They have scored a total of 15 goals on the season which ranks them in 4th place. Granada has also conceded a league 10th best 10 goals this term and they are ranked 4th with a total of eight assists in the current season.

Osasuna has won the second division four times including last season and they have won the third division a total of seven times. Osasuna also finished as Copa del Rey runners-up in 2005.
Osasuna is fresh off a 2-1 win over Villareal in Round 8. Villareal took the early lead via a 5th-minute goal by Pau Torres but Facundo Roncaglia scored the equalizer at the 46th-minute mark. Ezequiel Avila scored the game-winning goal in the 79th minute to give Osasuna their first win since opening week. Osasuna controlled 52% of the possession time and won the match despite Villareal having the edge in shots in goal at 5 versus 4.

RCD Mallorca is ranked 19th in the La Liga with a record of 1-1-5 SU in six matches played. After Despite losing their last match, Granada is 4-2-2 SU in the current La Liga table and they are ranked 2nd in the league right now. However, Granada saw their five-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League snapped by Real Madrid in Round 8 after the latter defeated Granada 4-2. They head to this Round 9 match as the soccer betting favorites to beat Osasuna.
Osasuna is currently ranked 11th in the Spanish Primera Division with a record 0f 2-5-1 SU on the season. They won their opening-round assignment against CD Leganes but went on a six-game stretch without a win. In their last outing, Osasuna picked up their second win of the season, a 2-1 conquest of Villareal.
Granada isn’t playing like a newly promoted side right now. Despite their loss to Real Madrid, they are having one fine season. Osasuna is coming off a win but they have been struggling for the most of the season. Granada’s offense has looked good to start the year and I think that it’s going to be their attack against Osasuna’s defense here. I’m picking Granada to win here. Prediction: Granada
