Atletico Madrid look to build momentum at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano
Atletico Madrid return to home soil this Wednesday, 16 September 2026, looking to sustain the momentum generated by their recent victory over Real Sociedad. The match against Osasuna at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano marks a pivotal moment for the hosts as they aim to solidify their standing in LaLiga.
Responding to the challenge
Atletico Madrid enter this fixture following a decisive 3-0 win against Real Sociedad last Saturday. This result was a significant recovery after back-to-back defeats against Liverpool and Athletic Bilbao, proving that the squad remains capable of finding their rhythm even after difficult outings.
For Osasuna, the challenge is to reverse a difficult trend. After suffering consecutive losses to Espanyol and Deportivo Alaves, the visitors are under pressure to tighten their defensive structure and rediscover the clinical edge that saw them secure wins against Getafe and Celta Vigo earlier in the campaign.
Expected lineups and tactical focus
Atletico Madrid are expected to line up with Jan Oblak in goal, supported by a defensive unit featuring Marc Pubill, Cristian Romero, David Hancko, and Marcos Llorente. The midfield is expected to be anchored by Koke, with Alejandro Baena and Kang-In Lee tasked with providing the creative spark for forwards Ademola Lookman and Giuliano Simeone.
Osasuna are expected to field Sergio Herrera behind a back four of Abel Bretones, Alejandro Catena, Flavien Boyomo, and Asier Osambela. In midfield, Lucas Torro and Jon Moncayola will likely be central to their efforts to disrupt Atletico's play, while Ante Budimir leads the attack alongside Raul Moro and Romain Del Castillo.
Managing the impact of absences
Both sides head into this encounter dealing with notable fitness concerns that could influence their tactical approach. Atletico Madrid must manage without Pablo Barrios, whose absence in midfield will require others to step up and control the tempo of the game.
Osasuna face a more significant hurdle in the middle and defensive thirds, with both Jorge Herrando and Moi Gomez ruled out due to injury. These absences will force the visitors to adjust their usual setup as they look to stifle an Atletico side that has shown a tendency to finish matches strongly.
Historical context and recent encounters
Matches between these two clubs have been tightly contested in recent seasons, with the head-to-head record reflecting a competitive rivalry. Atletico Madrid secured a 1-2 victory in their most recent meeting on 12 May 2026, a result they will be keen to replicate in front of their home supporters.
However, Osasuna have proven they can be a difficult opponent at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, having previously claimed a 1-4 win in May 2024. With both teams desperate for points to climb the table, this encounter promises to be an intense tactical battle.
