Villarreal - 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 1.57, 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.

Considering what they’re up against, Osasuna can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 5.88 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Villarreal are looking to get back to winning ways following a difficult La Liga trip. They were up against a strong rival but held well away from home. Level after 45 minutes, they managed to preserve a point in what ended up being a Atlético Madrid.

Osasuna’s previous outing was quite exciting. They snagged a 2:0 victory In a home game against Rayo Vallecano, who were considered somewhat stronger going in. The fact that they were in the lead already during half-time makes the triumph even more surprising.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Villarreal and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

The previous two away matches Osasuna played ended up confirming the Under 5 Goals market. As such, you may want to consider an Under 5 Goals bet.

The 6th spot in the standings The Yellow Submarine currently hold is promising – though they’re set on moving up further into the Champions League spots, Europa League finish to the season would still be a good prize for the hosts.

Osasuna are currently placed as number 9th in the standings after earning 6 points so far. They likely have goals of moving up to a Europa League qualifying spot, but getting the 1 point they need seems very unlikely. The 5.88 away win odds indicate that they’re not very likely to earn any points this Saturday.

As far as any head-to-head stats are concerned, examples of recent clashes include a decisive victory The Yellow Submarine secured last season. They walked away with a considerable goal advantage, which is in line with their current position as favourites.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 2.05 odds offered by 888Sport.
