Osasuna vs Betis Prediction & Betting Tips (19 October)

Who will beat Osasuna at their home stadium this season? For the moment, it is five games without defeat following the receptions of Leganes 1-1, Mallorca victory 1-0, Celta Vigo victory 3-2, Las Palmas victory 3-2 and lastly, FC Barcelona 4-2 victory. Furthermore, over the first nine days, the Rojillos only lost twice and remained on a good run of four days without a setback, including a final score of parity before the break on the Getafe turf 1-1. In the ranking, the residents of El Sadar occupied 5th place in the elite at the start of this day. A spot threatened by Bilbao who played earlier in the afternoon. Real Bétis, like Athletic Bilbao or Real Sociedad, is a credible candidate in the race for Europe in the league.

But as is often the case, the Verdiblancos are sorely lacking in consistency and their recent series demonstrates this perfectly with only one victory in the last four days for a record of two defeats against Mallorca at home 1-2 and just before the break, on the lawn of the rival, Sevilla FC 1-0. Furthermore, the residents of Benito Villamarin have not won against the enemy since 2018. In the ranking, Bétis was in 10th place at the start of this day. A quick word regarding the Conference League where Manuel Pellegrini's men started their campaign with a defeat at Legia Warsaw 1-0. 

Very seriously injured, Kike Barja (cruciate ligaments) and Munoz (fractured metatarsal) will logically be OUT for this game. These are ultimately the only two major absences for the little reds who will a priori be able to count on their crack Bryan Zaragoza (scorer and passer against Barça) or even on their hero and Croatian international Ante Budimir (4 goals, 1 assist in the championship) , author of 3 goals in his last two championship matches. Three major absences to report at Bétis with the right side Sabaly (ex-Bordeaux), the recuperator Carvalho (ruptured Achilles tendon) and the crack and playmaker Isco (fibula fracture at the end of last season). Recently, it was Natan who joined the care and who will not return until November.

Marc Bartra (ex-Barça) returned to competition. Loaned by Barça for the season, Vitor Roque has only found the fault once in 6 appearances with the Verdiblancos in the league, which is clearly too little for the supporters. There is talent in this formation with notably Fornals (ex-West Ham), Ez Abde (crack) and Lo Celso, who is the man in fusion at the club (5 goals in 6 appearances in the league).
