Osasuna hosts Betis in round 5 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, September 20th at Estadio El Sadar (Pamplona)
In the last season, Osasuna played in Segunda, where it won first place. The team showed an excellent season. A confident game at the home stadium was a key to success. The team has never lost at home and tied only twice. Osasuna showed attacking football throughout the season but had problems in defense at the same time. In principle, the club has every chance to stay in the highest division for the next season. Coach Jagoba Arrasate managed to strengthen the line of defense since this very defense pulled Osasuna to the bottom. The following players came to the club: Facundo Roncaglia (Celta), Adrian Lopez (Porto), Purvis Estupinan (Watford), Brandon (Rennes), Mark Cardona (Barcelona) and Ruben Garcia (Levante). With such reinforcement, the Pamplona team rolled into the new season of the Spanish Championship quite well. In the first round, they immediately managed to beat Leganes (1-0). Chimy Avila was the author of the goal. In the second round against Eibar, the winner could not be determined. Teams tied without scoring a single goal. The third match was played against one of the Spanish grandees - Barcelona. Playing at home, Osasuna managed to keep a draw against an opponent of this level (2:2). Roberto Torres became the hero of this match - he scored two goals.

Betis has never achieved major success. It always stays in the middle of the LaLiga standings. In the last season, the team also finished tenth and earned 50 points. It had huge problems in defense, which probably remained. Betis has acquired several new players but not a single defender. Alex Moreno (Rayo Vallecano), Borja Iglesias (Espanyol), Nabil Fekir (Lyon), Daniel Martin Fernandez (Sporting) and Juanmi (Real Sociedad) came to the Seville team. In the preseason, Betis also proved to be not very strong. It gained five victories and suffered four defeats. In the new season of La Liga, the team already dropped to 15th place after the third round. In the opening match, Betis met Valladolid and lost with a 1:2 score. Nevertheless, it the Green-Whites had every chance to win, if not for the disqualification of Robles at the beginning of the match. Betis managed to score one goal in the minority. In the second match, the club lost to Barcelona with a 2:5 score. But you can’t but notice that the Betis players tried their best. And in the third round, it finally beat Leganes (2:1). Loren and Fekir scored in the last two matches.
The bookmakers believe that the chances of these teams for a victory are approximately equal. And they give only a small advantage to the hosts. We believe that Osasuna will win this match. The head coach of the team strengthened all the lines and now it will be difficult to cope with this team. Besides, the game will take place on the home pitch, where the club has not lost for a very long time.
Prediction for the match: Osasuna to win
