Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Osasuna and Villarreal face each other at Estadio El Sadar in what is expected to be one of the most entertaining games of Saturday’s program. Los Rojillos suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad in the previous two league fixtures, and they face yet another difficult task against Villarreal. Jesus Areso remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, impressed in a 5-1 crushing of Espanyol. Villarreal aim to move closer to the Champions League berth, and we predict that they will take advantage of Osasuna’s current form. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Yeremi Pino, who scored four goals in the last league fixture, while Gerard Moreno remains in the recovery room.
