Betis retains top spot
With the draw, Real Betis remain in sixth place in La Liga, with 16 wins, nine draws and nine losses in total.

Osasuna, for their part, are in eleventh place with 44 points after 10 wins, 14 draws and 10 losses. Their position in the table is relatively stable, but they need more wins to advance further.

Real Betis face Rayo Vallecano in the next round of La Liga. A win is essential for Betis to maintain their Europa League place and avoid pressure from Celta Vigo. Osasuna face Atletico Madrid and they will need to show strong form to move up the table. With only a few games left in the season, every point could be crucial for both teams’ final positions in the league.
