Edition 6 hours 29 minutes Football Osasuna – Betis: prediction for the match for the Spanish championship 2.00

Osasuna is doing great this season. She managed to win a place in the middle of the table and for the first time since the 2004/2005 season advanced to the final of the Spanish Cup. Effective implementation of the rules of the game, which are based on defensive football, has helped the team to achieve such success. This is clearly evidenced by the 5th place of the Reds in terms of the expected number of goals conceded (xga = 1.08).

Hagob Arrasat’s men have slowed their scoring pace significantly in recent times. In the final segment of 6 rounds, they managed to defeat only the outsider – Elche (2:1).

Betis, unlike their current opponent, have great tournament motivation. Manuel Pellegrini’s team is fighting for the top four, only 3 points behind them.

The “Green and Whites” rely on a combination style of fast-paced football and a lot of improvisation in the last third of the pitch. Thanks to this, they manage to create many sharp chances on the opponent’s goal (xg = 1.43 – 5th), but they have to pay the price of not the most reliable defense (xga = 1.3).

I think the level of motivation of the teams will be decisive in this match. “Osasuna” has already solved most of her tasks in the Example, which will prevent her from competing with the guests.
