Great matches and a good atmosphere from the previous season, Betis carried over to the beginning of this season. Last season, they finished in fifth place in Primera, with only 5 points less than the place leading to the Champions League. The big consolation for not being in the Champions League was winning the Copa del Rey, which is also their only trophy since 2005. From what they show at the beginning of the new season, it is more than obvious that the excellent atmosphere in the team is still present. After two played rounds, they have the same number of victories, and many football fans are pleased by the fact that they have not given up their offensive style of play. The club has certain financial difficulties and for that reason they are not allowed to register some new players, but what is very important is that none of the important players from the previous season left the team. There are still great offensive players Fekir, Iglesias and Juanmi in the team and excellent midfield players like Carvalho and Rodriguez. Of all the mentioned players, I have to single out Juanmi, who has a very good start to the season. In addition to scoring two goals so far, he is more than present in the offensive actions of his team and it can be said that he is currently the leading player of Betis. He obviously likes playing against Osasuna because he scored 3 goals and recorded two assists in the last two matches against them. Last year he was the team's top scorer with 16 goals scored, and judging by the way he started this season, there is no doubt that he can surpass that number of goals.

Like Betis, Osasuna can boast of a perfect start to the season. They achieved two victories in two matches, 2-0 against Cadiz and somewhat surprisingly, they defeated Sevilla 2-1. They played both games at home and the great support they had from the packed stands certainly had an impact on those results. What needs to be emphasized is that in both games the Osasuna players did not show an excessively organized game in front of opponents goal, shots on goal were mostly made by attempts outside the penalty area. Of the four goals scored, as much as three were scored from the penalty spot and it can be said that in those games they were lucky. At the end of last season, the away pitch was not their strong point. Out of 5 away games, they managed to achieve only two draws with three defeats. Visiting Betis will be a very good test and an indicator of whether this start of the season is just a set of lucky circumstances or they can be a surprise in Primera this season. I expect a very careful game, especially from Osasuna, but I believe that the home field and the individual quality of the players, which is certainly on Betis side, will be the deciding factor in this match. Betis has an excellent history of results when playing against Osasuna at home, 5 wins from the last 5 games and I really expect that they will manage to continue that streak in today's game.
