Almería - Osasuna predictions

Almería have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Osasuna. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating Almería is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for Osasuna.

Almería’s confidence is soaring after a major breakthrough in their previous La Liga game. Despite a very hard matchup against Las Palmas and a home-field disadvantage, Almería secured an early lead and turned it into a narrow 0:1 victory.

The visiting team are coming on the back of an HT/FT defeat in their most recent home game, which was painful but quite expected. As a point of reference, top online bookmakers priced their victory at no less than 1.56, indicating they never had much of a shot in the first place.

Only 1 or fewer goals were scored during the course of Almería’s previous two away games. An Under marker might be worth considering here.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Osasuna’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Almería’s 20th spot in the standings marks them as on their way to relegation. With a 9 -points difference to make up, they’ll need to give it their all this Saturday.

These two squads already clashed this season, and Almería narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
