Real Betis Form Before Osasuna
Betis have recovered strongly from their 5-2 loss at Levante in Matchday 3. Their next four league matches produced three wins and one draw:
- Real Betis 1-0 Real Madrid — September 4
- Villarreal 1-2 Real Betis — September 14
- Real Betis 1-0 Getafe — September 17
- RC Deportivo 1-1 Real Betis — September 20
That run explains why Betis enter Matchday 8 inside the top three. They have not been overwhelming in attack, but they have consistently found ways to turn close matches into points.
The 1-0 win over Real Madrid remains their biggest result of the season so far. Read our Real Betis 1-0 Real Madrid match report for the details.
Osasuna Form Before Real Betis
Osasuna reached the international break on eight points after a difficult sequence of results. Their last three league matches produced one point:
- Osasuna 0-2 Espanyol — September 12
- Atlético Madrid 4-0 Osasuna — September 16
- Osasuna 1-1 Rayo Vallecano — September 19
Ante Budimir scored against Rayo to reach 100 LaLiga goals for Osasuna, but Sergio Camello equalised after halftime. Osasuna then finished the game with ten players after Raúl Moro was injured.
The broader problem has been defensive. Osasuna have conceded 13 goals in seven matches, compared with only six scored.
Real Betis vs Osasuna Team News
Osasuna Injury and Fitness Update
Osasuna returned to training on October 6 with several availability questions still being monitored. Raúl García de Haro returned to group training after recovering from cold-like symptoms.
Romain Del Castillo trained individually because of a digestive issue, while Iker Muñoz worked separately as a precaution after taking a knock in training. Raúl Moro, Jorge Herrando and Asier Bonel continued their recovery programmes from muscular injuries.
That makes Osasuna’s final lineup difficult to project several days before the match, particularly in midfield and attack. The club’s final squad list should provide a clearer picture closer to Sunday.
Real Betis Team News
Betis have not yet published their final Matchday 8 squad. The probable XI below is therefore based mainly on Pellegrini’s recent LaLiga selections, including the 1-1 draw at RC Deportivo before the international break.
We will update this section if Betis confirm new injuries, returns or selection changes before kickoff.
Real Betis vs Osasuna Probable Lineups
Lineup note: These are projected starting XIs, not confirmed lineups. Official teams are normally released close to kickoff.
Real Betis Probable XI
Álvaro Valles; Héctor Bellerín, Marc Bartra, Natan, Fran García; Marc Roca, Nelson Deossa; Antony, Pablo Fornals, Ez Abde; Cucho Hernández.
Pellegrini used most of this group in the 1-1 draw at Deportivo. Betis also have experienced alternatives including Isco, Giovani Lo Celso, Dani Ceballos, Rodrigo Riquelme and Troy Parrott depending on fitness, international-break workload and tactical preference.
Osasuna Probable XI
Aitor Fernández; Iñigo Arguibide, Alejandro Catena, Unai Santos, Diego Rico; Jon Moncayola, Iker Muñoz, Asier Osambela; Rubén García, Kike Barja; Ante Budimir.
This projection is based on the side that started the 1-1 draw with Rayo. Iker Muñoz’s fitness needs monitoring after his individual training session, while Raúl García could push for a start after returning to group work.

Betis have the clear advantage in results and defensive numbers. Osasuna’s route into the game may depend on keeping the match compact, competing strongly on crosses and set pieces, and creating chances for Budimir.

Key Players to Watch
Ante Budimir — Osasuna
Budimir remains Osasuna’s clearest penalty-box threat. His goal against Rayo was his 100th LaLiga goal for Osasuna, a significant milestone and another example of his importance to the club.
Against a Betis side that often controls the rhythm of home matches, Osasuna may need to make the most of a limited number of crosses, second balls and set-piece opportunities. Budimir is central to all three.
Pablo Fornals — Real Betis
Fornals has been a regular part of Pellegrini’s midfield and attacking structure. His movement between midfield and the final third can be important against an Osasuna side likely to protect central areas and force Betis to create through combinations around the box.
Antony and Ez Abde — Real Betis
Betis can stretch Osasuna from both sides through Antony and Ez Abde. Their ability to beat defenders, create cutbacks and draw extra defensive attention could create the spaces Betis need against a compact block.
Real Betis vs Osasuna Head-to-Head: Last Season
Betis were unbeaten against Osasuna in the two 2025/26 league meetings.
| Date | Fixture | Result |
|---|---|---|
| September 28, 2025 | Real Betis vs Osasuna | Real Betis 2-0 Osasuna |
| April 12, 2026 | Osasuna vs Real Betis | 1-1 |
Betis won the previous meeting at La Cartuja 2-0 through first-half goals from Ez Abde and Cucho Hernández. The return fixture at El Sadar ended 1-1, with Abde scoring for Betis before Budimir equalised from the penalty spot.
Why This Match Matters
For Betis, this is a chance to prove their top-three position is sustainable. They have already beaten Real Madrid and collected 10 points from their last four league matches. Another home win would keep them firmly among the early leaders before a much tougher Matchday 9 fixture against Barcelona.
For Osasuna, the pressure is different. They are not yet in the relegation zone, but only three points separate them from 17th-place Levante before Matchday 8. A positive result in Seville would stop a three-game winless run and provide some breathing room before the table begins to stretch.
Real Betis vs Osasuna Prediction
LaLigaUpdate prediction: Real Betis 2-0 Osasuna.
Betis have been more consistent, are stronger at controlling tight matches and enter the round with a much better defensive record. Osasuna have the physical tools to make the game uncomfortable, especially through Budimir, but conceding 13 goals in seven matches is a concern against a Betis attack with several different creators.
The prediction will be replaced by the final result and post-match analysis once the fixture is completed.
