Real Betis
Real Betis will look to make it three wins in three league games when they welcome Osasuna to Estadio Benito Villamarín this Friday.
The hosts have started their league campaign in the best possible way, having beaten Elche (3-0) and RCD Mallorca (2-1) in their first two league games.
The win over Mallorca last weekend made it four wins in the last five league games for Manuel Pellegrini’s side who are in search of a top-four finish this season after narrowly missing out last season.
They are on the brink of opening a top-flight campaign with three straight victories for the first time since 2011/12 if they win this game.
Given that they have enjoyed remarkable success against Osasuna in recent times having beaten them in eight of their last nine league meetings (D1), they will fancy their chances of getting a win this game.
Possible Real Betis starting line-up
Rui Silva; Aitor Garcia, German Pezzella, Edgar Gonzalez, Alex Moreno; Guido Rodriguez, William Carvalho; Juanmi Jimenez, Nabil Fekir, Rodrigo Sanchez; Borja Iglesias.
Injured: Martin Montanya, Youssouf Sabaly, Sergio Canales, Victor Camarasa
Doubtful: Victor Ruiz
Suspended: None
Osasuna
Like their hosts, Osasuna have also enjoyed a remarkable start to their season with two wins in two games.
But unlike their hosts, the visitors have enjoyed home comforts as the two wins they have recorded against Sevilla (2-1) and Cadiz (2-0) have all come at home.
They will now travel to Sevilla looking to record their maiden three-game perfect start to a top-flight season this century. But considering that they won just one win in their last seven away games last season (D2, L4), they will have to be in better shape this time around.
However, Jagoba Arrasate’s side can take encouragement from both starting the last campaign with four straight road wins, and having won each of their opening away league games since returning to the top flight (W3).
Possible Osasuna starting line-up
Sergio Herrera; Ruben Pena, David Garcia, Unai Garcia, Juan Cruz; Moi Gomez, Lucas Torro, Jon Moncayola, Aimar Oroz Huarte; Ezequiel Avila, Ante Budimir.
Injured: Kiko Saverio,
Doubtful: None
Suspended: None
Prediction
Betis 2-1 Osasuna
