Osasuna vs Almeria Prediction & Betting tips
The painting “rojillo” starts slightly as a favorite due to the collective potential that it possesses when acting in Pamplona. For this reason and knowing that he needs to become strong in his stadium, we believe he has what it takes to win the game or at least a half of it. Remember that the “rojiblancos” are combative and competitive in their actions, but limited when they act as visitors. Faced with this reality and so the process is fought in the midfield, we believe that the local will add his first victory to his people.
Osasuna:
The box “rojillo” played against Granada last Sunday in the new Los Cármenes and lost 2-0 clearly (1-0 from the initial stage). These days, he has 1 point in Liga2, which is very difficult for him to play well and generate scoring situations. In terms of goals, he scored 1 and gave 4 on his fence, lacking balance in his actions. That yes, in spite of his constant collective failures, it is still an eleventh hardened between the lines.
As a local in Pamplona, Osasuna played a match in Liga2 and the result was not very good (Let’s say 1-1 against Elche after winning 1-0 in a partial way). The goal of the team is to be more direct in the preparation and more effective in attack, trying not to suffer so much to score a goal. Of course, despite this, it is still a competitive and difficult to overcome. Logic indicates that you score by some point play or by using the stopped ball (corner or free kick close to the area).
Almería:
The “rojiblancos” come from playing against Málaga at home last Monday (defeat 0-1 from the initial stage and until the final whistle). Currently they have 1 point in the championship, placing again in the bottom of the table. The team remains combative, but too limited at the time of elaboration. He is also having some defensive problems, which are preventing him from winning (1 goal in favor and 3 against). Of course, despite everything, fight the matches until the final whistle.
As a visitor, Almeria already played a match in the competition, which was negative for their league interests (1-0 defeat against Cádiz after equaling 0-0 to 31 ‘minutes of the second half). For this exit, the “rojiblancos” will seek to repeat what has been done before the “Canaries”, trying to populate the midfield to stop the offensive advance of their rival. Of course, his short-term goal is to defend well and not deconcentrate in any punctual play. Despite its limitations, it is still a tactical and uncomfortable thing to overcome.
In the last 5 years, Osasuna and Almería have met 3 times in Pamplona. These were the results of those matches: Victory 0-1 of Almeria in November 2013, 0-0 draw in February 2016 and victory 2-1 of Osasuna in September 2017 (partial 0-1 defeat in the first half). As an added fact, you should know that the last two duels were for Liga2.
