It will be an interesting battle at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium because win, lose or draw, neither side can move up or down the LaLiga table on the competitions last day on Sunday.
With just one win in four for the home side prior to our Sevilla vs Osasuna preview, coach Jorge Sampaoli will be concerned about the shape of his team as he prepares to close out the season. 4th placed Sevilla have actually only won three of their last thirteen in all competitions and they have never really looked like threatening LaLiga’s top 3 at the table’s summit.
Osasuna beat bottom club Granada last time out to record their first win in six. It was one of only four victories all season in LaLiga and in truth they have been preparing for life in the second tier for quite a while. It’s worth noting before sharing our Sevilla vs Osasuna predictions below, that Osasuna have only kept two clean sheets in 2017.
Osasuna actually have the worst defensive record in LaLiga in 2016/17, conceding whopping eighty-nine goals in their thirty-seven games.
Any Sevilla vs Osasuna picks have to heavily favour the home team despite their patchy recent results. When the sides last met in January, Sevilla emerged 4-3 victory after a thrilling encounter at the El Sadar Stadium. Outside Spain’s traditional big three, Sevilla are this year’s LaLiga top scorers and they should be able to rack up a few more on Saturday evening.
Osasuna just don’t have it in them to cause an upset at Sevilla, who have only lost once at home in the entire domestic league campaign. An easy home win is on the cards.
Tip: Sevilla to win/both teams to score Bet365 6/5
