Osasuna vs Real Betis prediction 05.05.2024

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: 5th May 2024
• Kickoff: 13:00 UTC +1 / 14:00 CEST
• Venue: El Sadar

Real Betis will continue their hunt for a European place this weekend when they travel to El Sadar where they will take on Osasuna.

The hosts had a campaign to remember in the Spanish top flight last year, finishing in the top seven and were expected by many to build on that this season. Things have not quite worked out that way, but Los Rojillos are on the course to avoid relegation for a fifth consecutive season.

Real Betis have also dropped their standards this season. Los Verdiblancos sit outside the European places and have won just two of their last seven league matches. With just two points separating them from the top six, Manuel Pellegrini’s men could still qualify for Europe for the fourth consecutive year, but they will need to start picking up wins regularly.

Osasuna vs Real Betis Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals

Conceding goals has been one of the major weaknesses of Osasuna in recent weeks. The hosts enter this weekend’s game with just one clean sheet from their last six league outings and just two of those fixtures produced less than three goals.

Real Betis don’t also have a defense they can rely on, with the visitors without a clean sheet in their last eight league matches. Bets on over 2.5 goals were won in all but two of those encounters.

Another reason to expect goals here is the fact that recent meetings between Osasuna and Real Betis were very entertaining. Each of the last three produced at least three goals and I fancy a similar outcome this weekend.
