Osasuna vs Real Betis predictions. Match preview and bettings tips for the live televised La Liga clash at El Sadar at 19:45 on Friday.
Osasuna vs Real Betis Preview
Osasuna midfielder Didier Digard comes into Enrique Monreal’s plans having recovered from a calf injury but there are injury doubts about fringe players Goran Causic and Mario Fernandez. Sergio Leon has scored four in six La Liga games and is expected to lead the line his weekend.
Real Betis coach Gustavo Poyet is already under fire from fans who were chanting “go now” at the end of the 6-1 defeat at home to Real Madrid on Saturday (see the video for the goals) . Jonas Martin is expected to be given the all-clear after picking up a knock at the weekend but Poyet could do with Alex Alegria delivering on last season’s promise. The 24-year-old striker hit 31 goals in the second division but has failed to make the same impact since joining the first team set up and may start on the bench.

Osasuna vs Real Betis Prediction
Osasuna registered their first win of the season when defeating Eibar 3-2 on Monday and will leapfrog Friday’s opponents to climb out of the relegation zone should they repeat the fete in front the cameras on Friday. The Pamplona club has found it hard on its return to the top flight but will take heart from undefeated performances in the last two games.
Martin’s side let a two-goal lead slip against Las Palmas in the last home game to make it two draws and two defeats in the four games at El Sadar so far this term.
Real Betis shipped six goals for the second time this season when hammered 6-1 by Real Madrid last weekend. The fact that it came at home caused unrest among the fans and Gus Poyet is feeling the pressure early in his managerial reign. Betis have lost three of the last four games and Poyet’s attempts to tighten a leaky defence has reduced their potency in front of goal with his team scoring just twice in the last four games.
Osasuna will see this game as a good chance to climb the table and can grab a win against a Real Betis side struggling from a lack of creativity and goals.
