Osasuna vs Villarreal Soccer Betting Tips – La Liga
Author of a very decent season last year for his return to La Liga, Osasuna is confirming the theory that the second season in the top flight is much more difficult than the first. Indeed, the Rojillos bring up the rear in the standings with a low total of 11 points taken in 12 days, one less than most of its competitors. The players of the city of Pamplona are in great difficulty lately as they have taken only one point in the last 6 days. After being held in check by Huesca (1-1), they were dominated by Barcelona (4-0), Betis (0-2) and Real Valladolid (3-2) last weekend.
For his part, Villarreal does not know the same concerns as his host of the day, quite the contrary. Indeed, the Yellow Submarine shows a rather attractive face in this first part of the season which allows it to point to 4th place in the standings. On the other hand, Unai Emery’s men have been marking time for some time and they remain on 4 parity scores in the league taken against Real Madrid (1-1), Real Sociedad (1-1), Elche (0 -0) and Betis (1-1). At the same time, they had no trouble finishing leaders in their Europa League group, ahead of Maccabi Tel Aviv, Sivasspor and Qarabag.
