Betting on Club Atletico Osasuna
In the Kingdom of Navarra, the excitement of playing in Europe next season is growing with each passing game. This Friday’s clash against Real Sociedad is crucial for achieving that goal.
Although its opponent is 11 points ahead of it in the Champions League spots, Osasuna cannot afford to drop points playing in front of its fans. It is currently in eighth position with 44 points, just three points behind Villarreal in the Conference League spot.
The problem is that the Rojillos has been somewhat inconsistent at home. Although it has won its last two home games and has only lost one of its last five games, six of its 11 defeats this season have come at home.
In addition, its defense, which has been its main strength this season, has allowed 17 of the 32 goals this team has conceded in La Liga at home, including six in its last three games.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Aitor Fernández; Manu Sánchez, Aridane Hernández, David García, Juan Cruz; Jon Moncayola, Pablo Ibáñez, Aimar Oroz; Enrique Barja, Abde Ezzalzouli, Ante Budimir.
Betting on Real Sociedad de Futbol
The clock is ticking for Real Sociedad as it approaches the end of a historic season, which has put it within touching distance of returning to the Champions League after its last appearance in the 2023/14 edition.
Despite only winning one of its last three matches, it has secured three victories in its last six games, comfortably placing it in fifth position with 55 points, six more than Real Betis, who it drew with on Tuesday.
However, the Txuri-urdines won’t have an easy end to the season. Despite playing four of its remaining seven games at home, it faces tough opponents such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, and Sevilla.
To overcome these challenges, it will need to rely on its solid defense, which has kept it in the top four of La Liga with just 29 goals conceded in 31 matches. Furthermore, Real Sociedad is one of the best teams on the road, and although it is currently on a four-game winless streak, it has managed to secure 27 points out of 48 possible, conceding only 16 goals.
Possible Lineup (4-1-3-2): Alex Remiro; Aritz Elustondo, Igor Zubeldia, Robin Le Normand, Aihen Muñoz; Martin Zubimendi; Brais Méndez, Asier Illarramendi, Takefusa Kubo; Mikel Oyarzabal, Alexander Sorloth.
JefeBet Prediction
Real Sociedad has been dominating its direct matches against Osasuna, but that could change this upcoming Friday at El Sadar.
Osasuna has had a great season, with a chance to qualify for Europe and win the Copa del Rey, where it is finalists against Real Madrid. It hasn’t performed well at home, but with the urgent need to earn three points, things could change.
On the Real Sociedad side, it is also having an excellent season, with a chance to play in the Champions League again, almost 10 years after its last participation. Although it has struggled recently in away games, its defense is one of the best in La Liga.
It’s worth noting that eight of the last 10 matches between the two teams ended with two goals or fewer on the scoreboard. Therefore, with an unproductive Osasuna offense and two of the best defenses in the league, the Under is likely to happen again.
Prediction: Under (OSA 1 – RSO 1)
