Real Betis host struggling Osasuna in Seville test
Real Betis welcome Osasuna to the Estadio de La Cartuja on matchday 8 of La Liga, with the hosts arriving in considerably better shape. Betis have won three of their last four matches, losing none, while Osasuna have managed just a single win in their last five outings.
Form tells its own story
Betis's recent record of three wins and a draw stands in sharp contrast to Osasuna's one win, one draw and three defeats across the same number of games. That gap in momentum makes the home side clear favourites heading into the fixture, even allowing for the unpredictability that La Liga has shown in recent seasons.
A history of close contests
The two sides have met five times since 2024, with Betis winning three and drawing the other two — they remain unbeaten against Osasuna in that run. Their most recent meeting in April ended 1-1, while Betis claimed a 2-0 win the previous September. Osasuna have not beaten Betis in any of those encounters, a trend they will be eager to break at the Estadio de La Cartuja.
What's at stake
For Betis, victory would extend their strong start to the campaign and reinforce their growing confidence at home. For Osasuna, picking up points away from home would mark a much-needed turnaround after a difficult run of results. Given the current form lines, Betis will go into the match as the team with the greater momentum.
