Osasuna
🎤 Osasuna head coach Alessio Lisci shared his thoughts on his team's recent draw against Alaves: "It's a shame because when you're so close to victory, you end up with a bitter taste. Overall, I don't think a draw is a bad result, and perhaps it's fair. When you're leading just minutes before the end, you want to win, but instead, you're left with a bitter taste. Our performance wasn't such that we absolutely deserved the win."
❌ Among the unavailable players for Osasuna's upcoming match are Iker Benito (knee injury), Flavien Boyomo (suspension), and Asier Osambela (suspension).
Real Betis
🎤 Midweek, Betis couldn't secure a win in the first leg of the quarter-finals against Braga (1-1). Here's what the "Green-and-Whites" head coach Manuel Pellegrini had to say: "Inefficiency is something that happens throughout the season, and it's happening to us now. The second half was challenging, and we had to be cautious not to concede a second goal. We might have equalized when we had the least chances. I was left with a positive impression from our first-half performance, as we took the field aiming to win. The team handled the conceded goal well and worked hard on their response. We'll be playing at home against a strong team, so we need to be solid defensively. This result doesn't guarantee us a spot in the next round."
❌ In Betis' injury list are Junior Firpo (leg injury) and Ángel Ortiz (shoulder injury).
⚽ Goal Prediction
Let's note that in 5 of the last 7 head-to-head encounters, both teams found the back of the net. Equally important is the average scoring rate for each side this season: the "Reds" are at 1.2, while the "Green-Whites" average 1.5. Our editorial team anticipates an open game, likely characterized by numerous positional errors. We suggest the following bet - both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Prediction
Interestingly, neither club is known for racking up a significant number of corners per game this season: the "Reds" average 3.4, and the "Green-Whites" 4.5. It's important to note that in Osasuna's last 6 matches, there have been no more than 10 corner kicks. A similar trend is observed in 4 of Betis's previous 5 games. Our editorial choice is - total corners under 9.5.
Editor's Prediction
Both clubs struggle with defensive reliability, often falling prey to positional errors and lacking balance between lines, leading to frequent breakdowns in transition phases. Their head-to-head history shows a tendency to challenge each other consistently, and current statistical trends support the notion of proactive play from both sides. We predict a final score of 2-1, with the key bet being both teams to score (yes).
