Real Betis - Osasuna predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.80, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Osasuna who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

Top online bookmakers priced Real Betis as the 1.95 favourites in their previous bout. They rose up to the occasion and recorded a 3:1 victory over Real Sociedad. That said, they only started building up the goal difference in the second half of the game.

Osasuna latest performance wasn’t a great show of form for them. They were leading at the half-time mark against Elche, but the lead melted away as the match progressed. Considering they were tagged as favourites going in, the 1:1 draw is not a great result.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

Osasuna haven’t really been top of their game in their previous away outings – all 3 of them ended in defeat.

Real Betis are currently orbiting around the middle of the pack with a 9th spot in the La Liga table. They have their work cut out for them if they want at least a Europa League qualification – though there’s plenty of time to get there.

Osasuna are 3 points behind a Europa League qualifying spot. It’s too early to make any strong claims about their form this year, but most bookies are sceptical about their chances at Los Verdiblancos. They’ll need to work hard if they want to end the season on a high note.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Sunday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 1.80. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
