-----------------------------------------------------------
Osasuna - LLWLLL
Aimar Oroz (Hamstring injury), Ante Budimir (Rib fracture), David García (Hamstring injury) and Kike Barja (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be available for Osasuna boss Jagoba Arrasate.
It looks as if Los Rojillos should employ a 4-2-3-1 system for the game with Sergio Herrera, Jesus Areso, Alejandro Catena, Jorge Herrando, Juan Cruz, Jon Moncayola, Iker Munoz, Ruben Pena, Jose Arnaiz, Ruben Garcia and Raul Garcia.
Osasuna will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 3-0 La Liga defeat in their last game at the hands of Granada.
In that match, Osasuna managed 63% possession and 11 shots on goal with 2 on target. On the other side, Granada got 12 shots at goal with 4 on target. Facundo Pellistri (29'), Myrto Uzuni (48') and Lucas Boyé (94') scored for Granada.
It has been a rare occasion in recent games where Osasuna have shown defensive steel. The facts show that Osasuna have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 12 goals on the way. It will be interesting to see whether or not that trend can be sustained here.
Coming into this clash, Osasuna have not won at home in their last 2 matches in the league.
Real Betis - LLLWWD
With a completely injury-free group to choose from, the Real Betis boss Manuel Pellegrini does not have any fitness worries to speak of ahead of this match.
We’re of the thinking that Béticos appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, choosing Rui Silva, Youssouf Sabaly, German Pezzella, Chadi Riad, Juan Miranda, Guido Rodriguez, Johnny, Pablo Fornals, Nabil Fekir, Ayoze Perez and Willian Jose.
In their previous fixture, Real Betis drew 1-1 in the La Liga match with Sevilla.
In that game, Real Betis had 51% possession and 15 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Real Betis was Isco (38'). Sevilla had 10 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. Kike Salas (56') was the scorer for Sevilla.
Real Betis have been dangerous up front in their most recent fixtures, having scored 9 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager Manuel Pellegrini will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Real Betis have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same clashes.
Osasuna possible starting lineup:
Herrera; Areso, Catena, Herrando, Cruz; Ibanez, Torro, M Gomez; Ruben Garcia, Arnaiz, Pena
Real Betis possible starting lineup:
Silva; Sabaly, Pezzella, Riad, Miranda; Rodriguez, Cardoso; Fornals, Fekir, Perez; Willian Jose

Prediction: Osasuna 1-2 Real Betis
