Sevilla vs Osasuna Preview
Sevilla
Sevilla will feel that they have a decent fixture in this week of La Liga as they go up against Osasuna at home. Historically, Los Nervionenses have not been troubled much by Los Rojillos, but their current form sees them in 12th place with just 18 points, trailing their opponents in the league table.
Sevilla are known for keeping the ball with them and encouraging their players to pass it around quickly. However, this will be tested against Osasuna, who employ an aggressive high press and maintain a high defensive line, making it challenging for Sevilla to build play comfortably.

To counter this threat, Sevilla might resort to playing long balls that pierce the Osasuna backline, but then, for this to take place smoothly, their midfielders will have to keep their engines running smoothly.
Their manager Garcia Pimienta likes to play in a conventional 4-2-3-1 formation which puts a lot of emphasis on possession. Lokonga and captain Gudelj will have to make sure that they recycle the ball well and do not interrupt the flow of this match.
Osasuna
Osasuna are on a bit of a roll at the moment as they come into this game on the back of four unbeaten fixtures in their last five. Only one massive 0-4 loss to Real Madrid came in between, but we can be sure that manager Vicente Moreno will not allow that to distract his wards.
Moreno likes to play a 4-2-3-1 formation, just like Sevilla do, and this makes for an interesting clash. Both teams will butt against each other and like to keep the ball, but it will not be as easy as it will be the turnovers in play which will likely lead to goals.

Torro and Moncayola, who play in central midfield for Osasuna, like to dictate the style of the game with their cross-pitch passes that more often than not find the feet of wingers Zaragoza and Garcia.
However, Torro is suspended for this match, and Osasuna will have to find a replacement. Striker Budimir is in fine form this season as he has already bagged eight goals in the league. Despite the challenge of playing at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, Budimir will look to exploit any lapses in Sevilla’s defensive shape and add to his tally.
Bet hereSevilla vs Osasuna Prediction
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: 1.87 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Sevilla 2-2 Osasuna
We expect both teams to get on the scoresheet since they have a lot of top strikers in their respective teams and are not known to stay quiet for long.
Osasuna will rely upon the services of the aforementioned Budimir, winger Zaragoza, and central attacking midfielder Oroz to create chances for them in the Sevilla box. For the home team, Romero and Sow, who play interchangeably sometimes in the striker’s and central attacking midfielder’s position, will have to take up a lot of responsibility.
While Torro’s suspension deals a big blow to Osasuna’s hopes, Sevilla too have a few vital injuries in their side, including those to Ejuke and Nyland.
Sevilla vs Osasuna Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 1.5
- Odds: 1.35 (22Bet)
Given the attacking quality of both teams, we predict a total of over 1.5 goals in this game. However, both teams’ defensive units have performed moderately so far, and it will be a hard decision to say which side will concede more.
While Sevilla have already conceded 22 goals this season, Osasuna has allowed their opponents to find the back of the net on 24 occasions. This just goes to show that we can comfortably expect a total of more than 1.5 goals in this match.

The two teams last met in January earlier this year, when they played out a 1-1 draw. While this outcome remains a possibility, the defensive frailties on display and the presence of in-form attackers like Budimir for Osasuna and Sevilla’s creative midfielders make a case for a more open contest.
