OSA Vs ATL Dream11 Prediction: Atletico Madrid’s dreary attacking contingent threatens to push them out of a Champions League spot.
Draws pushed them back in the points tally before La Liga was halted owing to Coronavirus and unfortunately, a skewed Atletcio Madrid side was unable to wrench free of its impasse once the league returned as well. The 1-1 draw to Athletic Bilbao leaves them on a dreary three match successive drawing spin, one which sees the side in 6th position at the moment.
The only source for solace for the side in the league’s first gameweek since its resumption was the fact that everyone around them ending up slipping up as well. The set of events restricted the side’s deficit to just the one point from the top 4, a figure well attainable for the side.
However, the team needs to snap out of its crass losing spree at the earliest if the team is to ply its skill set in next year’s Champions League. Up against 11th placed Osasuna who managed to pull off only a dreary 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad the last time around, the visiting team will be quietly confident of accruing much yearned for three points.
