Osasuna come into the match on the back of a good 2-0 win at Granada last time out. The teams have been closely matched in La Liga for much of the season so it was an important victory for Osasuna and both goals were scored in the second half.
It was a crucial win for Osasuna who have been finding victories difficult to come by in recent weeks. Having defeated Cadiz 2-0 at home, Osasuna lost 2-0 at Celta Vigo and they have won 3 of their last 9 matches in all competitions.
In La Liga, Osasuna have won only 2 of their 13 most recent fixtures, which is a disappointing return.
Home form shows Osasuna have been struggling to pick up maximum points and they have recorded just a single win from their 5 most recent league games on home soil and just 2 wins in their last 12 at the Estadio El Sadar.
Trends show Osasuna's most recent games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals in their last 4 matches in all competitions. Osasuna have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 6 home La Liga games.
Sevilla make the trip to the Estadio El Sadar having been held to a draw at home by Celta Vigo in their most recent La Liga fixture.
With Celta Vigo currently in the bottom half of the table, it was a match Sevilla were hoping to win but resulted in 2 dropped points. However, having fallen 2-0 down in the first half, Sevilla will be relieved to have come back and taken a point.
It was the second successive match to end in a draw for Sevilla and they were previously held to a 1-1 draw at Valencia. In fact, Sevilla have failed to win any of their 3 most recent matches in all competitions having been eliminated from the Copa del Rey by city rivals, Real Betis.
Despite those setbacks, they will remain confident and there are no losses for Sevilla in 28 of their most recent 33 games in all competitions. Sevilla are also unbeaten in their last 9 games against Osasuna.
Team news and Osasuna are without Nacho Vidal who is suspended. Lucas Torró, Aridane Hernández, and Jesús Areso are injured and Oier has tested positive for COVID-19.
Sevilla have several players on the treatment table, including Alejandro Dario Gomez, Jesus Manuel Corona, Thomas Delaney, Suso, Erik Lamela, and Jesus Navas.
Sevilla cannot afford to drop more points in their pursuit of Real Madrid and should have enough to win this game. Osasuna have been struggling to win league games of late and Sevilla could keep a clean sheet on their way to maximum points.
