Osasuna will be back in front of their home fans this weekend, as they look to bounce back after suffering two straight defeats. Sevilla will be the visitors on Saturday, as they look for a second straight win to ease their position in the La Liga standings.
La Liga Preview
There will be a fascinating showdown in La Liga on Saturday, as Osasuna will be looking to get back on track after losing each of their last two. It had been a reliable start to the campaign for the hosts, as they had won two of their first three. But, back-to-back defeats have seen Osasuna drop down to 12th in the overall standings.
Their most recent defeat was suffered on Sunday afternoon, as they were edged out in a five-goal thriller by Getafe. Osasuna looked to be on course for a point following efforts from Iker Munoz and Ante Budimir in the second period, but Getafe netted the winning goal with just four minutes of the 90 remaining. Osasuna only had themselves to blame for the defeat, as they were made to pay for defensive lapses in concentration.
It had been far from an ideal start to the new season for Sevilla, as they had suffered defeats in each of their opening three matches before the most recent weekend. However, they finally got off the mark for the new campaign in the previous round, as they landed maximum points.
It wasn’t the most entertaining display by the Spanish club, but they landed maximum points in the final 20 minutes when Dodi Lukebakio fired home. Sevilla dominated proceedings throughout, as they recorded 26 shots, but they hit the target on just nine occasions.
Osasuna vs Sevilla Head to Head
Osasuna has an excellent recent record in this fixture, as they have won each of their last two against Sevilla. The most recent of those was a 3-2 win on the road in February. Prior to last season, Sevilla had been unbeaten in their last ten against their rivals this weekend.
Osasuna vs Sevilla Prediction
The hosts have enjoyed their recent showdowns against Sevilla, and the fact that the visitors are in Champions League action on Wednesday before this showdown can’t be overlooked. For that reason, we could see the hosts landing a much-needed victory to put their recent defeats behind them in La Liga.
