Prediction: 1-2
Betis
Estadio El Sadar will host Saturday’s football game between Osasuna and Real Betis, the two top-table sides. Osasuna aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Rayo Vallecano, with the team eyeing their eighth home win of the process. Moi Gomez is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while all Torro, Avila, Brasanac, and Garcia should miss out through injuries.
Los Beticos, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Espanyol, and a triumph over Osasuna could see them climb to the Champions League berth. Since the Andalusians want this win more than the Basques, we are going to bet on Manuel Pellegrini’s charges. Both Aitor Garcia and Sergio Canales are banned for the match, while the likes of German Pezzella, Youssouf Sabaly, and Nabil Fekir remain on the sidelines through injuries.
