Real Betis face Osasuna in weekend clash.
As Osasuna seeks to extend their unbeaten home streak and keep their European dreams alive, Real Betis stands in their way with a challenging history and a pressing need to reverse recent away woes in this intriguing La Liga clash at Estadio El Sadar.
Osasuna
Osasuna will head into their clash with Real Betis brimming with confidence after securing a 1-1 draw against Getafe just before the international break. Currently positioned 5th in La Liga with 15 points, Osasuna’s quest for European football continues to gain momentum.
However, Real Betis presents a formidable challenge, given Osasuna’s dismal record against them in recent years. Despite securing consecutive wins over Betis back in 2014, Osasuna has since lost 10 of their last 12 La Liga encounters [1W, 1D, 10L], conceding two goals in each of their last three matches against the Andalusians [1W, 0D, 2L].
Playing at home has offered little respite for Osasuna in their meetings with Real Betis. They have lost four of their last six home games in La Liga against Betis [1W, 1D, 4L], which matches the number of defeats they suffered in their previous 16 home games against the visitors in the competition [11W, 1D, 4L].
However, their recent form on home turf offers a glimmer of hope ahead of this fixture. Osasuna has not lost any of their last seven La Liga home matches [4W, 3D, 0L] and are on the verge of winning five consecutive home games for the first time since December 2005.
Ante Budimir, who netted Osasuna’s equaliser against Getafe in their last match, is expected to spearhead their attack in a 4–3–3 formation, flanked by Bryan Zaragoza and Rubén García. Vicente Moreno will be without long-term absentees Iker Muñoz and Enrique Barja.
Real Betis
Real Betis went into the international break following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Sevilla, courtesy of a goal from Dodi Lukebakio. This marked their third loss in five La Liga games (WLDWL), placing them 10th in the table.
Currently, Betis is eager to improve their form, having collected just 12 points out of a possible 27 this season (3W, 3D, 3L). Their away performances are also concerning, as they have not won any of their last six La Liga matches on the road (0W, 4D, 2L).
On their travels, they have struggled to find the net, failing to score in four of their last five away games. However, Betis aims to exploit Osasuna’s defensive weakness against long-range efforts, as Osasuna has allowed five goals from outside the box this season, the joint-most in the league with Villarreal.
Manuel Pellegrini is expected to stick to his favored 4-5-1 formation, with Vítor Roque leading the attack. Nevertheless, injuries pose a challenge, with William Carvalho and Isco sidelined for the long term and Giovanni Lo Celso doubtful for the upcoming clash.
