Atletico Madrid - Radamel Falcao, Arda Turan
Under new cpach Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid have been resurgent since the start of the year.
Yet to concede a goal in their three league games in 2012, Los Colchoneros have won their last two matches 3-0 and 4-0, enthusing supporters with a more intense style of play that was sadly lacking under previous boss Gregorio Manzano not to mention adding to their lacklustre points total.
They will be confident of another victory this evening, and are priced at 5/4 (2.25) with 188Bet to achieve it. But backing against Osasuna at home is hard to do regardless of who is visiting.
The team from Pamplona have lost just four games at home of the last twenty nine they have played, and the Reyno de Navarra stadium remains one of the hardest places to visit in the Spanish top flight.
A home victory is available at 12/5 (3.40), which does hold some appeal, while the draw is on offer at the same price. But with Atletico's new found confidence and Osasuna's formidable home form, it's difficult to split the two teams in the match odds market.
Instead, delve into the goal market where things become a lot more straight forward. 188Bet offer 1.70 (7/10) that there will be between 2-3 goals in the game, and examining statistics it looks to be a solid bet.
Seven out of Osasuna's ten home games this season have seen between 2-3 goals, while Atletico have scored in four of their last five away games. It should be a tight encounter, but both teams are capable of scoring and the price seems more than acceptable for a medium sized bet.
Bet of the day: 2-3 goals at 7/10 (1.70) with 188Bet
