Osasuna still have a chance to secure European qualification, while Atlético Madrid are playing without much incentive in the final stretch of the 2025-26 LaLiga EA Sports season.
Osasuna enter the last three matchdays of LaLiga EA Sports with hopes of reaching European spots. Depending on how the continental places are finalized—with Spain having already secured a fifth Champions League berth—the Navarre side are two points behind seventh place (which leads to the Conference League), pending Getafe’s result on Sunday. Their situation could have been much better had Alessio Lisci’s men not lost their last two league games and three of their previous four. After a loss at San Mamés to Athletic Club, Osasuna beat Sevilla at home, but they failed to build momentum, falling to Barcelona (1-2) and Levante (3-2). Against Levante, they squandered a 2-0 lead, losing to a 90th-minute goal from Etta Eyong.
Atlético Madrid appear to be coasting through the remainder of the season. This feeling was already present in La Liga when they were still alive in the Champions League, and it has only grown since their semifinal elimination by Arsenal. Los Rojiblancos abandoned any higher league ambitions long ago, focusing instead on the Champions League and Copa del Rey. While they came close, Simeone’s side failed to secure either trophy. Atlético currently sit fourth with 63 points, five behind Villarreal (who have a game in hand), and their spot in next season’s Champions League is already secured. Inconsistency has marked their recent form, with two wins and three losses in their last five matches. They beat Athletic and Valencia while still in Europe, but before those victories, they lost to Sevilla and Elche. Last Saturday, they fell 1-0 at home to Celta Vigo.

**Osasuna**
After a painful defeat to Levante—where Osasuna led 2-0 early on—Alessio Lisci is preparing for the midweek clash with little time to recover. He will be without starting goalkeeper Sergio Herrera, who was sent off at Ciutat de València. Aitor Fernández will take his place. Additionally, Víctor Muñoz is a doubt until the last moment as he recovers from a muscle injury in his left calf.
There are two main selection dilemmas for the home side. At left-back, Javi Galán (a former Atlético player) seems to have a slight edge over Abel Bretones, Lisci’s other option. In midfield, Iker Muñoz and Lucas Torró are competing for a spot in the double pivot alongside Jon Moncayola. Muñoz, who is one yellow card away from suspension, is the favorite to start. Also walking the disciplinary tightrope are Rosier and Moncayola.
**Probable Osasuna Lineup (4-2-3-1):**
Aitor Fernández; Rosier, Catena, Boyomo, J
