Sevilla vs Osasuna

Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan is the venue as Sevilla and Osasuna go head-to-head in a mid-table La Liga clash.

Despite going down 2-0 on their midweek Europa League trip to PSV Eindhoven, Sevilla booked their place in the competition’s last-16 as 3-2 aggregate winners. That result halted Sevilla’s three-game unbeaten run in all competitions (W2, D1), marking their first scoring blank since a 3-0 demolition at Barcelona in early February. But Jorge Sampaoli’s men have reigned supreme at home lately, racking up an impressive four-game winning league streak since La Liga resumed in 2023. It’s worth mentioning that their last three league victories at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan have come ‘to nil,’ underpinning their status as pre-match favorites. Adding to this sentiment, ‘Los Rojiblancos’ have won their last nine top-flight meetings with Osasuna at home, with six of those nine wins accompanied by a clean sheet.

Meanwhile, visiting Osasuna suffered a 2-0 home defeat to reigning champions Real Madrid last weekend, extending their winless league run to five matches (D3, L2). In order to arrest their longest top-flight streak without winning this season, ‘Los Rojillos’ must overcome their form woes on hostile turf, having won just two of their 11 away league games this term (D6, L3). Indeed, Jagoba Arrasate’s men have drawn their last four La Liga matches on the road, with each fixture in that span featuring under 2.5 goals, highlighting the potential for a cagey, low-scoring affair. On a slightly more positive note, the visitors have been victorious in two of their last four La Liga away encounters against Andalusian sides (L2).
