Betis vs Osasuna prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-05-10 19:00.
[p]European glory is still on for Real Betis after they completed a 4-3 aggregate win over Fiorentina in their UEFA Conference League semi-final on Thursday. Win or lose in Wrocław against Chelsea in the final, Europe awaits next term as they’re guaranteed a top-seven finish in La Liga and a UEFA Europa League place, but UEFA Champions League qualification via the top five remains a realistic target.[/p]
[p]After navigating extra time in Italy, Betis could be forgiven for starting slowly here against Osasuna, but should that happen they can’t be discounted having claimed an impressive 16 points after conceding first in La Liga this term (W4, D4, L6). Five victories from their last six home league fixtures (L1) should serve to reinforce belief, while seven successive league H2H wins sound them out as clear favourites here.[/p]
[p]They come into this clash 13 points behind their hosts but Osasuna are still in contention to qualify for Europe despite seeing their five-match unbeaten run in La Liga (W3, D2) grind to a halt with a 4-2 defeat against Villarreal last weekend. They were in trouble once they went behind early and will be keen to avoid a similar feat here having trailed at half-time in each of the last three H2Hs.[/p]
[p]Even a solid start might not help much, as Los Rojillos have won just one of their last 12 away league fixtures (D6, L5) and have lost each of their last six away H2Hs in La Liga – their worst such streak in the Spanish top flight. Arresting that run here remains a realistic possibility given their recent record in Andalusia, as they’re unbeaten in seven of their last nine La Liga away games in the region (W4, D3, L2).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: After scoring for Betis against Espanyol last weekend (W 2-1), Giovani Lo Celso is one short of equalling his personal best of nine La Liga goals in a season, with six of his eight this campaign coming after half-time. RubĂ©n GarcĂa has scored in each of Osasuna’s last three matches and he netted in this corresponding fixture last season.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Betis’ last three La Liga fixtures produced an average of 1.67 goals per game after the 80th minute (W3).[/p]
