Osasuna take on the visitors Real Sociedad in the round 32 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, April 28th at Estadio El Sadar (Pamplona).
With difficulty, by scoring a goal in extra time, Osasuna managed to reach the final of the Copa del Rey, having beaten neighboring "Athletic" in the 1/2 stage. However, this cup campaign, which has already allowed for the repetition of a new achievement, had its price. If in the first half of the season, the "Reds" were among the serious contenders for a place in European competitions, then in the winter-spring there were minimal victories. In the spring, they managed to win only once in La Liga, and even then "Elche" suffered, the deaf outsider of this year's draw - they beat them 2-1 at home. But after that, they lost again, to "Rayo Vallecano." And only then did the rise begin: first, they managed to win a shootout 3-2 against "Betis," and this week, on the contrary, they dealt with "Cadiz" by a single goal.

Real Sociedad have also improved under their current coach - Imanol Alguacil managed to repeat his own achievement as a player by winning the Copa del Rey. It has been more than a decade between these successes. However, the one thing that this coach has not been able to achieve is to improve their fight for 4th place in La Liga and thus, finally return to the Champions League. The script for the season remains the same: a successful, sometimes even powerful, start, followed by a drop to 5th position, and often even lower. The current season gives increased chances for success, since the regular member of the leading quartet, "Sevilla", peaked in the fall (although they are trying to improve through the "signature" Europa League). And, perhaps, it is precisely due to the lack of real competition that the representative of San Sebastian is still in the desired position even after the traditional decline in the 2nd round. They had a very important match in the last round against a direct competitor, "Betis". Apparently, they decided to play pragmatically, limiting themselves to a "bird in the hand", in the form of a goalless draw. As a result, they did not increase the distance, but managed to maintain it.
Since 2012, in 14 consecutive matches, the "Txuri-urdinak" have not lost to their neighbors. And in all 4 recent personal matches, the club from San Sebastian only won. "Los Rojillos" have improved and even before the cup final, they will be dangerous, especially at home. So let's take a neutral option and bet that in this football match, the final outcome will be "total goals over 2.0".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
