Real Betis will entertain Osasuna at Estadio Benito Villamarín in La Liga on Sunday. Betis are sixth in the standings with 57 points, four fewer than Athletic Bilbao, and are still hopeful of securing a top-four finish. The visitors are in 11th place with 44 points and have a very slim chance of securing a European spot next season.
The hosts have enjoyed a good run of form and are unbeaten in their last six games, recording four wins. They made it three wins on the trot in La Liga last week, recording a 2-1 away win over Espanyol. Late goals from Giovani Lo Celso and Antony helped them register a comeback win.
They met Fiorentina in the second leg of the UEFA Conference League semifinal on Thursday and were held to a 2-2 draw. The match went into extra time and Abde Ezzalzouli scored the equalizer in the 97th minute as Betis progressed to their first-ever European final 4-3 on aggregate.
Trending
Gorritxoak saw their unbeaten streak end after five games last week as they fell to a 4-2 away loss to Valencia. Rubén García Santos and Aimar Oroz were on the scoresheet in the second half.
