Real Sociedad vs Osasuna: Spanish Cup match forecast

A hard fight is expected in the upcoming quarter-final match of the Spanish Cup, and both teams are quite capable of distinguishing themselves. Real Sociedad demonstrates a confident attacking game on their own field: in the last eight home matches in all competitions, the Basques scored on seven occasions, and at least twice in three of them. Their attacking potential is also confirmed by the stability of offensive leaders such as Takefusa Kubo and Mikel Oyarzabal, who continue to create chances and regularly find their way to the opponents' goal.

Osasuna, in turn, also has a powerful attacking potential.Vicente Moreno's team consistently scored at least two goals in each round of the Spanish Cup, despite the fact that they had played all previous matches on the road. In addition, Osasuna are distinguished by their fighting character and ability to recoup, which makes them a dangerous opponent even when playing against the strong defense of Real Sociedad. Historically, face-to-face meetings between these teams rarely go dry. Both teams have scored in five of the last six matches in all competitions, and their last La Liga match, held just a few days before this meeting, ended 2-1 in favor of Osasuna. Given the attacking potential of both teams and their stats in recent games, we can expect them to exchange goals.

The forecast is that both teams will score. We bet on this outcome with a coefficient of 2.00

Betting on the outcome

The match promises to be extremely tense and even, which makes a draw in regular time very likely. Real Sociedad has been experiencing some difficulties in recent matches, having won only one of the previous five matches in all competitions. Imanol Alguacil's team traditionally relies on reliable defense, but the Basques do not always show stability in attack, especially in matches against organized opponents. Osasuna, on the other hand, feels confident in the Cup, having reached the quarterfinals, despite the fact that they spent all previous rounds away.

Vicente Moreno's men demonstrate an excellent ability to fight in tight matches, as evidenced by their four-game winning streak in the last six games. It is important to note that Osasuna has not lost in regular time in the Spanish Cup since last season's final against Real Madrid. Historically, face-to-face meetings between these teams in the Cup are persistent: three of the last five matches ended with a difference of one goal or a draw. Given the combative nature of both teams and their caution in the decisive stages of the tournament, the probability of a draw in the main time looks very high.

The forecast is a draw in regular time. We bet on it with a coefficient of 3.30

Betting on statistics

The match is expected to be tense, with a lot of fighting in the center of the field, which can lead to a high number of fouls. Both clubs are known for their tough style of play, especially in important matches. Osasuna traditionally plays power football, which is confirmed by the fact that in their last five matches in the Spanish Cup, the teams averaged more than 25 fouls per game. Real Sociedad also does not avoid a close fight, especially in matches against teams that play aggressively. In their previous match against Osasuna in La Liga, 29 fouls were recorded, which underlines the nature of the confrontation. Given the high importance of the match and the possible tension, a large number of violations can be expected.

Forecast — total fouls over 26.5 with a coefficient of 1.95
