Referees and fouls

Corners

Team reviews
Lately, Osasuna is not itself: a team known for being able to stand up to absolutely any opponent has suffered 5 defeats in the last 6 matches, which sent it to the second part of the league table. The attack game has noticeably worsened - Osasuna scores less than 1.5 goals in 6 out of the last 8 games. The bet on this is valued at 1.40.
Betis, on the other hand, has noticeably improved in recent games, and a series of four defeats is long behind. True, the team had no problems with attack, only a maximally disastrous defensive play did not allow it to score points. Considering that Betis scores in 8 out of the last 9 matches, you can bet on an away goal at 1.35.

Editorial prediction
Despite playing away, Betis is considered the favorite of the upcoming match, which is not surprising. At this point, Osasuna is completely non-competitive, concedes a lot of goals and suffers one defeat after another. Considering that Osasuna conceded in the 2nd half in 7 out of the last 8 head-to-head encounters of these teams, it seems that the bet “2nd half, Betis Total Goals Over (0.5)” at 1.78 will pass without any problems.
