Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Osasuna will welcome Athletic Bilbao to Estadio El Sadar this Thursday, with this meeting being their fourth meeting in this calendar year.

Both sides are still fighting for a place in Europe and can take a giant step towards their aim with a win here.

Extra time was needed to separate them after two Copa del Rey semi-final legs earlier this year, with Osasuna progressing to the final but ultimately losing to Real Madrid.

So a top-seven finish will be the only remaining path to continental action for the hosts, who currently sit in tenth position, three points behind their visitors in seventh.

So with three games to go, this is a must-win for them if they still want to play European football next season. Having drawn 0-0 in the reverse fixture, Jagoba Arrasate’s Osasuna would jump ahead of their rivals on the head-to-head tiebreaker with a win here.

However, four losses from their last five games (W1) show they are outsiders in this tie. Yet Bilbao’s one win from their last five games (D1, L3) doesn’t make them clear favourites.

But their record of five wins from their last seven La Liga visits to this stadium should give them confidence.

A decent away form this year should also serve as a morale booster, as Bilbao have picked up more La Liga wins on the road (W4, D3, L4) than at home (W3, D2, L5) since the World Cup.

Meanwhile, two of the last eight H2Hs in all competitions produced more than 2.5 total goals. So an under 2.5 goals bet is advisable for this game.

Osasuna vs Real Sociedad: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

La Liga returns this Friday as Real Sociedad travel to Pamplona to face European hopeful Osasuna.

The hosts are one of five teams hoping to occupy fifth and sixth positions in La Liga at the end of this season.

They kept their chances of doing so alive with a massive 3-2 win over Celta Vigo in their last outing. The win made it two straight wins for Jagoba Arrasate’s side and kept them firmly placed in eighth position, three points behind the available European spots.

Arrasate will be hoping to make it three wins in a row against top-four hopefuls Real Sociedad. But his side has struggled against teams starting this Round above them in the league standings (D2, L7), so it might be another disappointing outing at Estadio El Sadar.

But after beating Real Betis in their last outing at this venue, they hope they’ve finally unlocked the formula required to win the league’s finer clubs.

Meanwhile, Real Sociedad will travel to Pamplona to return to winning ways after being held to a disappointing goalless draw against Real Betis in their last outing.

That result has left their secure position in the top four under threat. Yet, they remain in command of their top-four destiny, leading fifth-placed Betis by six points.

Given their current position, they will fancy their chances of securing Champions League football next season.

However, with upcoming fixtures against the current top three still left to play, Imanol Alguacil knows his side must win this fairly easy game to stand a chance of achieving their goal for the season.

But a run of six away games without a win (D2, L4) will not inspire much confidence ahead of this game. And having scored this La Liga season away to any club starting this Round in the top-eight (D2, L2), Sociedad will likely struggle to get maximum points here.

Rayo Vallecano vs Osasuna: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Osasuna will travel to Campo de Futbol de Vallecas this Friday to face Madrid-based Rayo Vallecano in the 29th Round of the 22022/23 La Liga season.

The hosts are looking to get back their quest for a top six finish after a poor run of form that has left them eight points behind Real Betis. After eyeing European qualification earlier this term, Vallecano have lost their way and are now eight La Liga games without a win (D5, L3) following Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Atlético Madrid.

However, they remain ten points clear of the relegation zone in a relatively comfortable mid-table position. Moreover, that derby defeat was also their first loss in five home matches (W1, D3). So staying calm could serve them well although they can’t relax too much having only won one of the last four H2Hs here (D1, L2) including a 3-0 defeat last season.

The hosts have won only once this term against sides currently above them in the standings (D1, L3) so Osasuna will fancy their chances here.

The visitors’ 2-1 win over Elche last time out means they sit in eighth position, one point ahead of their hosts. However, to continue an upward push to the top six, they must build on their current record of one La Liga away win in eight attempts (D5, L2) with them failing to score in three of the last four of those fixtures.

Meanwhile, Osasuna haven’t netted before half-time in any of their last seven fixtures (W2, D3, L2). So we can expect a cagey affair in this game, with under 2.5 goals expected here.

Mallorca vs Osasuna: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

La Liga returns this weekend as top six hopefuls Osasuna will travel to Palma de Mallorca this Friday to face Real Mallorca in the 27th Round of the La Liga season.

Real Mallorca are one of the eight teams dreaming of a place in the top seven of La Liga this season. The hosts have taken 32 points from their opening 26 games of the season, leaving them in eleventh position after 26 rounds of matches, nine points behind sixth-placed Villarreal.

However, they could have been inside the top half, but not for a poor run of results just before the international break. Javier Aguirre went into the break on a run of four games without a win in La Liga (D1, L3). Aguirre’s job to turn the hosts’ poor run of form must start with fixing a leaky defence that has not kept a clean sheet in their last consecutive La Liga games (W1, D1, L4).

They also have to fix their goalscoring, with Mallorca the joint-lowest-scoring side in the top eleven of La Liga with 22 goals. The other team with 22 goals in the top eleven is Osasuna, who come into this tie without a goal in their last three games.

Like their hosts, the visitors went into the international break poorly, having lost two of their last three La Liga games (D1). However, Jagoba Arrasate admitted after their last outing that “we have to disconnect, recharge our batteries, clear our minds and work to return to being.

Having enjoyed two weeks of uninterrupted break and with most of his stars not called up for their national teams, Arrasate will hope that his well-rested stars will come back refreshed to navigate this last lap of games successfully and to get the most from their gruelling run of three games in nine days, including a cut-throat Copa del Rey semi-final tie with Athletic Bilbao.Click here to get the football best predictions today.
