Both Teams to Score Pick
For the third play, I am backing Both Teams to Score. Osasuna is averaging 4.8 shots on target per game, giving the visitors a reasonable attacking profile despite their lower overall scoring numbers. Osasuna has also scored 80% of its goals in the second half, while Atlético Madrid has conceded all six of its goals after halftime this season.
Those trends provide some support for a BTTS wager, particularly if Osasuna can create chances after the break. Kalshi currently gives the Both Teams to Score – Yes contract a 48% probability.
BTTS Pick: Yes (48% on Kalshi)

Atlético Madrid vs Osasuna Stats Comparison
The early 2026/27 numbers give Atlético Madrid the statistical edge. The hosts average 2.0 goals and 13.2 shots per game, compared with 1.0 goal and 10.0 shots for Osasuna. Atlético also ranks fourth in the league in possession at 54.6%, while Osasuna ranks ninth at 49.2%.
The gap is smaller in shots on target, with Atlético averaging 5.2 per game and Osasuna 4.8. That suggests Osasuna has been able to put shots on target despite generating less overall attacking volume. The difference in attacking production and defensive numbers favors Atlético, while Osasuna’s shots-on-target rate provides some support for considering the Both Teams to Score market.
Atlético Madrid and Osasuna Injury Report & Match Impact
Atlético Madrid will be without Alexander Sørloth, Pablo Barrios, and Julián Álvarez for the visit of Osasuna. The absences reduce Diego Simeone’s attacking options, although Jonathan David is coming off his first LaLiga goal for the club and could take on a larger role in attack.
Osasuna also has four players unavailable through injury: Moi Gómez, Aimar Oroz, Jorge Herrando, and Valentín Rosier. Gómez, Oroz, and Herrando have all been dealing with muscle-related injuries, while Rosier has been recovering from his own injury.
The absences are relevant to the betting markets, particularly when assessing Atlético’s attacking options and Osasuna’s defensive depth. The latest lineup news should therefore be considered before placing a wager.
