Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – Away Win – 2.10
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Away Win and Two or more total match goals – 2.70
Villarreal have taken 13 of their last 15 points, are currently one of the most in-form teams and face Osasuna, who are also the second worst home team in the competition, having won just two games out of 13 at El Sadar Stadium.
Villarreal’s last five games have had a total of 15 goals, with Villarreal being one of the most attacking style teams in the whole competition, it is hard to believe that this game will not have more than one total goal.
The lack of goals has been the main problem for Osasuna, as despite occupying eleventh position, there are only three teams that have scored fewer goals than them. Osasuna have scored 25 goals in 26 games so far.
The lack of goals is not because they do not generate dangerous chances, as they maintain an average of 12 shots per game, but they lack the direction of those shots, averaging 4.27 shots on target per game.
Osasuna have yet to score a single goal between the 71st and 80th minutes of their games so far, which is strange, as this is a stretch of games where teams usually score more goals.
In their last five games, Villarreal have scored 14 goals and conceded just two goals. In their last two matches, Villarreal have scored five goals in the first half and four goals in the second half.
If we divide a match into ten-minute stretches, Villarreal would be one of the few teams to have scored at least two goals in each stretch.
Villarreal have scored five goals in the first halves of their last two games, which is normal, as they are a team with a very attacking style, so we think it is very likely that the game will have more than 0.5 total goals in the first half. This bet has odds of 1.50 at William Hill.
Osasuna come into this match with only one absentee, Jesus Areso, who is injured.
