Team Form and Analysis for Sevilla
Domestic Form and Season Performance
Sevilla are having a highly inconsistent start to the season, currently occupying 13th position in the La Liga table with 13 points from 11 matches. Their record stands at four wins, one draw, and six defeats.
Los Nervionenses enter this fixture on a worrying run of three consecutive league defeats, most recently suffering a heavy 3-0 loss away to Atlético Madrid. This downturn in form has stalled a promising start to the campaign. A major concern for Sevilla is their defence, having conceded 19 goals this term, ranking among the worst defensive records in the division. Despite this, their matches tend to be open, with seven of their last eight league games featuring over 2.5 total goals. Manager Matías Almeyda will rely heavily on their excellent home record against Osasuna, which sees them undefeated in 15 of their last 16 home matches against the visitors in all competitions. The team must regain defensive discipline while capitalizing on their creative attacking threat.
Key Player: Rubén Vargas
Midfielder Rubén Vargas has been a key creative outlet for Sevilla this season. The Peruvian international leads the team in assists with four and remains a pivotal player in creating goalscoring opportunities. His ability to deliver precise crosses and his role in linking the midfield to the attack will be vital for breaking down Osasuna’s likely compact defensive setup. With the absence of other key attackers due to injury, Vargas’s creativity and influence in the final third will be under intense scrutiny.
Team Form and Analysis for Osasuna
Domestic Form and Season Performance
Osasuna is also struggling for consistency, sitting two places below their opponents in 15th position in the La Liga table with 11 points from 11 matches. Their record comprises three wins, two draws, and six defeats.
Los Rojillos arrive in Seville following a goalless draw away to Real Oviedo in their last league outing, a result that snapped a run of two consecutive league defeats. Manager Alessio Lisci’s side has struggled significantly in the final third this season, scoring only nine goals in 11 matches—one of the lowest tallies in the league. Their woes are compounded by a woeful away record of zero wins in six attempts on the road this season. Historically, Osasuna have shown an ability to neutralize Sevilla’s attack, which gives them a boost. The team is built on a modest defensive structure, and they will look to frustrate the hosts and rely on the goalscoring form of their main forward.
Key Player: Ante Budimir
Veteran striker Ante Budimir remains the most dangerous weapon in the Osasuna arsenal. The Croatian international leads the team with four goals this season, scoring nearly half of his team’s total league goals. Budimir’s physical presence, aerial threat, and penalty-box intelligence will be the primary focus for Osasuna’s few attacking ventures. His performance in holding up the ball and converting any chances that come his way will be critical if the visitors are to leave the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán with any points.
Head-to-Head Record between the Teams
The recent history between these two sides presents a conflicting narrative, contrasting Sevilla’s overall dominance with Osasuna’s recent upper hand.

While Sevilla boasts a significantly superior historical record in La Liga meetings, the recent head-to-head encounters heavily favour Osasuna. Sevilla are currently on a run of eight matches in all competitions without a win against Osasuna, a streak that includes three draws and two defeats in the last five league meetings. The most recent fixture in April 2025 ended in a 1-0 victory for Osasuna. However, it is important to note that Sevilla has been overwhelmingly dominant in this fixture at home throughout history, making Osasuna’s recent successes at the Pizjuán rare exceptions.
Players to Watch
Sevilla
Juanlu Sánchez (Midfielder): The versatile player is expected to contribute to the attack with his speed and directness. His ability to take shots and create space will be vital against a compact defence.
Marcão (Defender): The experienced central defender will be key to shoring up Sevilla’s leaky defence. His leadership and ability to marshall the back line against the aerial threat of Budimir will be crucial for the home side to secure a clean sheet.
Osasuna
Lucas Torró (Midfielder): If fit, the defensive midfielder is essential for Osasuna’s structure. His ball-winning ability and capacity to break up play in the middle of the pitch will be vital to stifling Sevilla’s creative players like Vargas.
Rubén García (Midfielder): The experienced attacking midfielder provides creativity and set-piece threat. His link-up play with Budimir and ability to pick out a crucial pass will be Osasuna’s most likely method of scoring.
Prediction
This fixture is a true six-pointer, defined by the contrasting pressure on both sides. Sevilla are under immense pressure to end their three-game losing streak and maintain their historic home dominance. Osasuna’s confidence comes from their recent head-to-head run, but their inability to score goals away from home (only nine goals all season) makes them highly vulnerable. Sevilla’s superior firepower and creative ability, despite their recent defensive lapses, should allow them to dominate possession and chances. While Osasuna will defend deep and look to frustrate, the home side is expected to find a way to break the deadlock and secure a much-needed victory, although it will likely be a narrow and hard-fought win.
Score Prediction: Sevilla 1-0 Osasuna
