Osasuna vs Deportivo Alaves Betting Tips &— Under 2.5 Goals

This weekend’s prediction could be challenging on paper given the inconsistent performances of both teams this season.

Osasuna, the hosts for Monday’s live TV match, have a mixed recent record with three wins, four losses, and two draws from their last nine games in all competitions. Similarly, visiting team Alaves have displayed a varied performance in their recent matches with two wins, two losses, and three draws from their last seven games.

Osasuna have demonstrated strong performance in Pamplona, winning four out of their last five home games. Arrasate’s team has suffered just one loss in their last seven games at the Estadio El Sadar.

Nonetheless, we should not be overly assured of the hosts’ victory on Monday, given Alaves’ current four-game unbeaten streak away from home. Luis Garcia’s enhanced team has secured draws against Real Sociedad and Betis and crucial victories against Sevilla and Almeria.

Both teams, ranked 11th and 12th and only four points apart in the La Liga standings, are safe from relegation. However, a run for European qualification seems improbable for both sides.

Historically, games between these teams have typically been low-scoring. In seven of their last eight competitive games, fewer than 2.5 goals were scored. The same has been true for Osasuna in five of their past six games. Similarly, in five of Alaves’ last seven fixtures, the total goals scored have been less than three.

Considering both sides’ recent form, I expect a tight contest where we could see the spoils shared. With that in mind, a low-scoring draw, with under 2.5 goals scored may well prove the best bets on Monday evening.
