Betting on Osasuna
Osasuna has plummeted after a first half of the season that had given it hope. It has won only one of its last eight games, and it has failed to score goals in 5 of the most recent 7 matches. In fact, the team has scored 22 goals, a very low figure that puts it among the five least efficient teams in La Liga. In Pamplona, where it has an average of one goal per game, its record is not encouraging: it has won six, drew one, and lost five games.
At El Sadar, Osasuna has not scored in the last three matches; there, the most recent goal was on January 14, in the 1-0 win over Mallorca, scored by Aimar Oroz.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Sergio Herrera; Jon Moncayola, Aridane Hernández, David García, Juan Cruz Armada; Pablo Ibáñez, Lucas Torró, Moi Gómez; Chimy Ávila, Ante Budimir, Abdessamad Ezzalsouli.
Betting on Villarreal CF
The team coached by Quique Setién is pure irregularity. It went from a run of four straight defeats to two consecutive wins, and now to three matchdays without victories. Its away season is not good either: it has won 4, drew 3, and lost 6 games.
Despite the ups and downs, Villarreal is in the Europa League zone, and has the potential to go for a little more if it sets its mind to it. An interesting fact: in 8 of its 11 victories, the team was tied in the first half, but won in the second half.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): José Reina; Juan Foyth, Raúl Albiol, Pau Torres, Alfonso Pedraza; Ramón Terrats, Dani Parejo, Manu Trigueros; Samuel Chukwueze, Gerard Moreno, Yéremi Pino.
JefeBet Prediction
Villarreal is not a reliable team, but it has more hierarchy than Osasuna, which is more flimsy than in other years, and is not strong in its stadium. The Yellow Submarine will take advantage of the Basque team’s lack of goals, and in this Osasuna vs Villarreal it will take home the three points.
Prediction: Villarreal wins by 1-0.
