A Jornada 6 clash at the Estadio Benito Villamarín as Real Betis — who drew 1–1 at Villarreal in Jornada 5 — host a resilient Osasuna side. Betis have strengthened significantly with Dani Ceballos returning from Real Madrid and Cucho Hernández leading their attack. Osasuna's compact 4-4-2 and the quality of Ante Budimir make them dangerous opponents.

Osasuna: team news and outlook
Aitor Fernández starts in goal. Valentin Rosier and Diego Rico anchor the full-back positions. The Torró-Moncayola pivot is one of La Liga's most underrated. Ante Budimir leads the attack and remains Osasuna's primary scoring threat.
Key tactical battle
Isco's creative freedom versus Osasuna's defensive organisation. Betis's quality on the ball should eventually break down Osasuna, but Budimir's aerial threat on set pieces makes Osasuna dangerous in transition.
Head-to-head record
Betis and Osasuna have met regularly in La Liga with relatively tight affairs. Betis at home are strong but Osasuna have stolen points there before.
Prediction
2–1. Betis's quality at home should prevail, with Cucho Hernández the match-winner.
