Real Betis vs Osasuna Predictions

Betis to continue Champions League push

Real Betis should be backed to beat Osasuna at home in the Primera Liga on Sunday. The visitors have been poor on the road this season, with just two wins in 17 away games and Betis will be buzzing after they secured a Conference League final spot on Thursday.

They are six places and 13 points above Osasuna in the table. The hosts, who have won 16, drawn nine and lost nine this season, are sixth, while the visitors are tenth with ten wins, 14 draws and ten defeats.

Real Betis fought back from a goal down at half-time to beat Espanyol 2-1 last weekend and keep up their recent winning trend. The betting suggested there would not be much between the teams, but Real Betis edged to victory to the delight of those who backed them at 7/5.

They are in form, having won their last three league matches and going unbeaten in nine of their last ten. They have also avoided defeat in nine of their last ten games against Osasuna.

It would be no surprise to see Real Betis score, having netted two goals or more in three consecutive La Liga games. They have scored at least twice in five of their last seven matches.

Osasuna have been disappointing in front of goal away from home this season, with just 13 goals in 17 games – an average of 0.76 goals a game on the road. This is unlikely to improve here.

Osasuna’s defence is also a concern. The visitors have conceded on each of their last three Primera Liga road trips and have shipped 27 goals away from home this season – an average of 1.59 goals per game from 17 matches.

Real Betis have won five of their last six home league games and have claimed victory in two of the last three by at least two goals. A 2-0 win for Real Betis looks the best correct-score bet.
