Betis vs Osasuna: match preview
In the first half of the season, Betis struggled with inconsistency and hovered around mid-table. However, things changed in winter when winger Antony joined the squad on loan. The Brazilian has been sensational for the Spanish club, netting 8 goals and providing five assists in 21 appearances. His impact has been transformative, pushing Betis firmly into the race for a UEFA Champions League spot. After 34 rounds, Betis have 57 points—just one behind fourth place in La Liga. With three consecutive league wins, their current form is outstanding.
Osasuna, meanwhile, are also fighting hard for a place in next season’s European competitions. After 34 rounds, they sit ninth with 44 points. Spain sends eight clubs to European tournaments, and Osasuna are only two points off that coveted zone with four matches remaining, keeping their hopes very much alive. Their recent form is encouraging as well—just one loss in the last five rounds (a 2-4 setback to Villarreal in their previous outing), along with three wins and a draw. At this pace, a European berth is well within reach.
Probable lineups
- Betis: Adrian; Sabaly, Bartra, Natan, Rodriguez; Cardoso, Lo Celso; Antony, Isco, Ez Abde; Hernandez
- Osasuna: Herrera; Areso, Boyomo, Catena, Errando, Bretones; M. Gomez, Torro, Oroz; Ruben Garcia, Budimir
Prediction
Betis are in fantastic form, especially with Antony leading the charge. Osasuna are certainly motivated by their European ambitions, but I believe Betis will make home advantage count. I’m backing the hosts to win at odds of 1.62.
