My bet is that Facundo Roncaglia makes 2 or more innings in this match against Betis.
Argentine Roncaglia plays as Osasuna’s right back. Years ago he has played as a center-back, therefore he has a defensive vocation although from time to time he joins the attack with enough success since he has been seen scoring goals from outside the area.
What is clear is the sacrifice he brings to the team and that he leaves everything on the pitch.
For this match he will have the ballot to face Tello and Alex Moreno in the band. 2 very fast and overflow players, therefore Roncaglia will have a lot of work.
Roncaglia is averaging 2 innings per game so far this season. He has played 8 games and leaves us 6 green and 2 red.
All the games he has played as a starter and 4 of them complete. The rest have played 66, 78, 84 and 88 minutes. Therefore, Arrasate trusts him a lot and for this game I hope he will play all or a large part of the game. The 4 times he has played the whole game he has made at least 2 innings.
Historically Roncaglia has good numbers. As I have said, he has alternated position between central and lateral. There have been seasons that it has exceeded 3 innings per game, other seasons almost reached 2 innings per game and others have been more than 2 innings per game.
As I said, Betis is in need. He has added only 3 of the last 15 points and despite the fact that Osasuna also needs a victory like eating, the situation of Pelegrini’s men is much worse, therefore they have to go for it.
Sadar is a very difficult field and it is certain that Roncaglia and company make Betis sweat and I doubt that they will close behind and leave possession of the ball to Osasuna, who are the fourth team with the least possession in the league.
