Osasuna vs Atletico Madrid Lineups May 2026 – Osasuna will look to maximize their home advantage when hosting Atletico Madrid in week 36 of the 2025/2026 LaLiga season.

This Osasuna versus Atletico Madrid clash carries important meaning for both teams, both in maintaining their positions in the standings and ending the season with a positive result.

This match is scheduled to take place at El Sadar Stadium on Tuesday, 12 May 2026 at 09.30 PM local time.

The hosts hope to recover from a series of less satisfying recent results, while the visitors arrive in Pamplona determined to stop their negative trend and close the season on a positive note.

Before this match begins, take a look at Mansion Sports' prediction for the Osasuna vs Atletico Madrid lineups in May 2026 below.

Team Conditions Ahead of the Match

Osasuna

Osasuna currently occupy 10th position in the La Liga standings with 42 points from 35 matches, a result that can be considered above expectations considering many predicted Alessio Lisci’s side would be involved in the relegation battle at the start of the season.

Their goal difference of -3, after scoring 42 goals and conceding 45 times, illustrates a team that still struggles to maintain consistency. However, being able to remain comfortably in mid-table approaching the end of the season is still a satisfying result for the club.

Osasuna have been far more effective when playing at El Sadar compared to away matches, with a record of nine wins, five draws, and three defeats at home.

Their recent home performances in La Liga have also been fairly solid, with three wins, two draws, and one defeat from their last six matches at El Sadar, scoring nine goals and conceding seven times.

However, the last three matches have shown inconsistency. After a 2-1 victory over Sevilla, Osasuna then suffered two consecutive defeats, losing 2-1 to Barcelona and 3-2 to Levante.

The defeat against Levante felt particularly disappointing because Osasuna had already conceded two early goals before their opponent added a third goal in the 90th minute to complete the comeback. Lisci will certainly demand a much calmer and more organized performance from his team on Tuesday.

In their last five matches across all competitions, Osasuna have recorded only one win, one draw, and three defeats.

Atletico Madrid

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid also arrive at El Sadar with the mission of returning to winning ways.

Diego Simeone’s side sit in fourth position in the standings with 63 points from 19 wins, six draws, and 10 defeats. Although their top-four position is not yet mathematically secure, Atletico remain the strongest candidates to finish in the Champions League places.

However, their recent performances have been fairly concerning. Atletico have only recorded two wins, one draw, and two defeats in their last five matches across all competitions.

They arrive after a 1-0 defeat to Celta Vigo at the Metropolitano, a result that followed a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final. That defeat also ended the club’s hopes of winning a trophy this season.

Atletico’s away record is also quite concerning, with five wins, five draws, and seven defeats in La Liga away matches.

In their last six away matches in La Liga, Simeone’s men have only secured two wins without a single draw, while suffering four defeats.

Although long known for being solid, pragmatic, and defensively disciplined, the balance between a strong defense and attacking creativity has been more difficult for Atletico to achieve this season. The trip to Pamplona is clearly another difficult test.

In the last five meetings between the two teams, Atletico have won three times, while Osasuna have won the other two matches.

Osasuna vs Atletico Madrid Lineups May 2026

Osasuna (4-2-3-1)

For the home squad condition, Osasuna are confirmed to be without goalkeeper Sergio Herrera, who received a red card against Levante after handling the ball outside the penalty area and must serve a suspension on Tuesday night.

Victor Munoz has remained unavailable since the end of April due to a calf injury and is expected not to be available.

Alejandro Catena and Flavien Enzo Boyomo are expected to become the main defensive partnership, while Iker Munoz and Jon Moncayola operate in midfield.

Atletico Madrid (4-4-2)

For Atletico’s squad condition, the away team arrive with quite a number of injury problems. Pablo Barrios, Giuliano Simeone, and Johnny Cardoso are all unavailable due to thigh injuries ahead of Tuesday’s match.

Nicolas Gonzalez is also unavailable due to a thigh issue, while Julian Alvarez must remain sidelined with an ankle injury, a significant absence considering the importance of his role in Atletico’s attack.

Despite missing several players, Atletico still possess enough quality to field a competitive team. Antoine Griezmann and Ademola Lookman are predicted to lead the attack against an Osasuna side that has looked fairly fragile defensively in recent weeks.

This match is predicted to be interesting because both teams are searching for positive momentum.

Osasuna want to take advantage of their home ground to recover, while Atletico Madrid need victory to secure their top-four position.

Therefore, it will be interesting to wait and see how the Osasuna vs Atletico Madrid Lineups May 2026 are actually deployed at kickoff later.
