Command Analysis
Tenerife
SpainCurrent form
Tenerife are going through difficult times, occupying the last place in Segunda. The team suffered three defeats in a row, including the last match against Burgos away (0:1). In the King Cup, Tenerife barely got past the 1/32 finals, defeating Zamora only in a penalty shootout. Such results cannot please fans, although they have hope for this game, because the islanders managed to win in their last face-to-face match against Osasuna, however, it was in 2019.

Osasuna
SpainCurrent form
Osasuna is going through a mixed season. The team from Pamplona is showing a strong-willed game, but it lacks stability. In the last round of La Liga, Jagoba Arrasate charges lost at home to Athletic Bilbao (1:2), missing the opportunity to consolidate their position in a higher position. At the moment, Osasuna is in 10th place in the championship, remaining in a comfortable middle of the table. In the King Cup, the team is moving forward, but not without problems.
At the 1/32 finals stage, the "blue garnets" narrowly avoided a sensational exit: in the match against Ceuta, they were losing 0:2 by the 84th minute, but showed character and managed to turn the game around, winning 3:2. This victory underlined the fighting qualities of the team and the ability to achieve results in difficult situations. Ahead is the match against Tenerife, and Osasuna is determined to prove its class and continue the fight for the trophy. However, away games always bring additional difficulties, especially at this stage, where teams from the lower divisions take to the field with maximum motivation.
Disqualifications and injuries
Osasuna will be approaching the match against Tenerife with a nearly optimal line-up. Minor injuries to several players should not affect key playing positions.
Interesting trends for betting
- Osasuna have scored at least two goals in four of their last six matches in all competitions
- The team has won two of its last three away games
- In the Copa del Rey games, the team always shows the will to win, even in difficult situations
Probable lineup: Fernandez - Moncayola, David Garcia, Catena, Sanchez - Torro, Moi Gomez, Brasanac - Barja, Cimi Avila, Budimir

1.65Tip and bets
Osasuna enter the match as clear favourites, but their defence has shown vulnerability in recent games, conceding twice to Ceuta in the Copa del Rey and two goals to Athletic in La Liga. However, the Blaugrana attack remains strong, with Budimir, Chimi Avila and Barja capable of causing problems for any defence. Tenerife, despite being underdogs, are playing at home and will try to please their fans.
The team regularly finds scoring opportunities, and the Cup matches often provide them with extra motivation. Even with their recent defeats, the hosts show character, as was evident in the game against Zamora at the previous stage of the tournament. The open nature of the game, the motivation of both teams and the vulnerability of the defense of both the hosts and the visitors create the preconditions for an abundance of goals. Osasuna will want to close the matter of victory as soon as possible, but Tenerife will surely respond with at least one scoring opportunity.
Our forecast is total over 2.5 goals and we bet on it with odds of 2.15
Bet on the outcome
Osasuna have a clear advantage in this match due to their class and current level of play. Despite the defeat to Athletic in the last round of La Liga, the team shows stability in games against lower-level opponents. Cup matches are often the scene of surprises, but the Blaugrana know how to keep their cool in such encounters. Tenerife are in crisis, having lost three matches in a row and occupying the last place in Segunda, which clearly reflects the difference in level. Most likely, the visitors will confidently take this match, minimizing the risk of unexpected results.
Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) for Osasuna and we bet on it for 2.00
Bet on total shots on target
Osasuna will likely try to take control of the game right away, using their attacking power. Tenerife can create chances, but their implementation leaves much to be desired. Based on the statistics of the last matches of both teams, the overall activity at the goal does not promise to be high. The expected number of shots on target will be limited to below average, which is suitable for this bet
Forecast - total shots on target under 8.5 with odds of 1.90
