Osasuna - Deportivo Alavés predictions

Osasuna are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Deportivo Alavés may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

The away team’s chances of winning this Sunday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Osasuna, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

Apoint is never as interesting as a punter would want it to be but Osasuna will surely have been pleased with a Sevilla draw from the previous trip in the La Liga. They return home for the Sunday clash feeling good about themselves after going level throughout both terms.

The away team hit an impasse last round in their matchup against Leganés, failing to take the victory as most La Liga betting predictions expected they would. Besides the fact they had home-field advantage, top bookmakers online offered prices of around Leganés.

Osasuna’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 7 goals throughout their latest three La Liga matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Given 6 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Deportivo Alavés's defensive line is much to be desired.

All three outcomes are quite possible in this game, but Osasuna will want the 3 points to get closer to a Europa League qualification. They’ll need 1 point to do so, but there’s a lot of the season still left to be played.

With just 1 point between them and the relegation zone, Deportivo Alaves can’t be too comfortable heading into this unfavourable matchup. Thankfully, a good chunk of the season is still ahead of them.

In terms of head-to-head stats, the closest point of reference right now is from last season when Osasuna walked away with a decisive victory. This is an entirely new campaign but most top online bookies are still expecting the match to end in their favour.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 1.62 odds.
