Osasuna vs Almeria Prediction & Betting Tips (4 January)

Osasuna, 12th, is only 6 points ahead of Celta Vigo, 18th and first relegated...The Basque club is still under pressure and needs 3 points to get closer to the first half of the ranking. The Arrasate team, which remains on 3 consecutive victories at home against Almeria 2-1, 3-1, 3-1, will have a psychological advantage for this new face-to-face.

Budimir's teammates 8 goals have just lost to Mallorca 3-2 before Christmas but they had lined up for some time before good performances against Real Sociedad 1-1, Cadiz CF 1-1 and Rayo Vallecano 1 -0. A second success in a row at home is highly possible against an Almeria team which has still not won a La Liga match after 18 days, 5 draws and 13 defeats. The Andalusian club has lost its last 8 trips in the Spanish championship, the last of which were to Getafe 2-1, to Madrid against Atlético 2-1 and to Barcelona 3-2. Eliminated from the Copa del Rey in Barbastro 1-0 on December 6, Almeria will be able to focus on the championship where the Andalusian club is already 10 lengths behind Cadiz CF, the first non-relegation team. The maintenance operation seems more and more complicated as the weeks progress!

It would be fair to say that Osasuna have not been the most exciting team to watch recently, with only three of their last 12 LaLiga matches producing goals at both ends. Given that ten of the previous 12 Almeria away games at this level have also seen at least one of the two keepers emerging with a clean sheet, do not expect both teams to find the net.
