Real Betis vs Osasuna Prediction and Tips: Corners

Osasuna's corner count

Real Betis are third in LaLiga on 16 points from seven games (5W-1D-1L) and are currently playing their home fixtures at Estadio La Cartuja. They are comfortably the better side technically here against an Osasuna team who sit 13th on 8 points (2W-2D-3L).

This is a tip on Osasuna's own corner count, not the match total. Over their last three league games, Osasuna have won just 3, 0 and 4 corners - an average of 2.3 a game. The 0 came in a 4-0 defeat at Atlético Madrid, an extreme result, but even their two matches since have produced only 3 and 4. A typical top-flight side wins 4-6 corners a game; Osasuna have not reached 4.5 in any of their last three.

We could not confirm Osasuna's starting XI for this match, so there is a chance a more attacking line-up changes the picture, but nothing in their recent games suggests a side generating the width or sustained pressure that produces a flurry of corners.

At 3.5, the market prices Osasuna's corners as close to a coin-flip (Under at 1.81 implies 55.2%). Given they have gone under that mark in two of their last three league games and have not shown the attacking pattern that wins corners, we make the true chance a little higher. Osasuna under 3.5 corners at 1.81, backed at 0.75 units given the small sample.

Verdict

Osasuna under 3.5 corners at 1.81 implies a 55.2% chance. They have gone under that mark in two of their last three league games and have shown no sign of the width or pressure that wins corners on the road. We make the true chance a little higher than the market price, enough for 0.75 units given the limited sample.
