Sevilla – Osasuna Match Preview

The midweek Champions League game against Krasnodar was a really tough one for Sevilla. They found themselves with an early two-goal deficit, playing with a man less on the pitch after J.Navas’ send-off. However, their effort was huge in the second half and they managed to make a memorable overturn taking a huge 3-2 win.

On the contrary, Lopetegui’s side does not impress at all in the Spanish La Liga. They are coming from a three-game losing streak, actually, from middle table teams like Granada, Eibar, and Athletic Bilbao.

Suso and O. Idrissi are not available tonight, however, Sergi Gómez recovered from his injury and is in the squad tonight.

Osasuna couldn’t match Atl.Madrid losing a game after a three-match undefeated streak. The final score was 3-1 for Atl.Madrid who could have scored even more goals in the second half, in their best performance so far in this season.

Brandon, D. Brasanac, and Avila are still unavailable, actually, they haven’t performed at all in this season. J. Calleri is also unavailable after his serious injury a couple of weeks ago.

Sevilla seems to focus on their Champions League campaign so far, having an almost perfect record (two wins and one draw). However, their domestic run is rather mediocre, they have only 7 points after 6 games in Spanish La Liga (two wins, one draw, and three losses). I expect heavy legs here for the hosts, actually they are playing their 7th game in a 22-day spell. At the same time, Osasuna has played only three games, tonight it’s their fourth one.

I am aware of the mediocre recent history of Osasuna when playing in Sánchez Pizjuán (they are winless for 14 games in a row), however, tonight they have more advantages than ever. And not forget to mention that this game will be held behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The value is on the away win in this one, at 7.00 odds offered with bet365.
