Sevilla defeated Rayo Vallecano 1-0 at home in the last match, ending a two-game losing streak and showing some signs of improvement. As a traditional powerhouse in La Liga, Sevilla has been a regular participant in European competitions. However, their performance has declined in recent years, and they have not managed to escape their struggles this season either. After 14 rounds of La Liga, Sevilla has achieved only five wins, three draws, and six losses, placing them in the mid-table, which is disappointing overall. Sevilla’s tactical approach primarily focuses on counter-attacking, relying on individual skills and set-piece tactics to create offensive opportunities. Defensively, they boast a solid defense line, but the midfield coordination can sometimes lack continuity.
Osasuna drew 2-2 at home against Villarreal in the last match and has been in good form recently, with three wins, one draw, and one loss in the last five league matches. After 14 rounds of La Liga, Osasuna has recorded six wins, four draws, and four losses, at one point even reaching the top of the standings, showcasing an impressive performance. Osasuna’s tactical style also centers on counter-attacking, with a strong emphasis on midfield control and transitions between offense and defense. Notably, their attacking key player, Ante Budimir, has scored eight league goals so far, placing him fourth on the La Liga top scorers’ list. Additionally, the attacking trio of Budimir, Ruben Garcia, and Bryan Zaragoza provides significant firepower for Osasuna.
While Sevilla’s overall strength and reputation surpass those of Osasuna, based on this season’s competitive state, Osasuna is undoubtedly performing much better than Sevilla. Furthermore, in their last five encounters, Osasuna has an unbeaten record of two wins and three draws against Sevilla. Considering the historical head-to-head record, Osasuna holds a clear advantage. Overall, it would be reasonable to expect Osasuna to come away with a positive result in this match.
