Scoring Consistency
Recent attacking records for Sevilla and Osasuna are shown below.
Defensive Stability
Recent defensive records for Sevilla and Osasuna are shown below.
Luis Garcia Plaza's team remain sixth after four wins, two draws and three defeats, but a troubling run of results has exposed weaknesses that Osasuna will hope to exploit.
The visitors arrive encouraged by an immediate improvement under returning manager Jagoba Arrasate, whose unbeaten managerial record against Sevilla adds another intriguing dimension to this contest.
Sevilla's defensive collapse threatens promising start
Sevilla have collected just one point from their last three league matches, conceding ten goals against Barcelona, Levante and Real Madrid.
A 3-1 home defeat to Barcelona was followed by a dramatic 3-3 draw at Levante before last weekend's 4-1 loss at the Bernabeu, where Manu Bueno's late strike offered little consolation.
There is some perspective to those results. All three of Sevilla's league defeats this season have come against teams occupying the top three positions, suggesting their recent struggles partly reflect the calibre of opposition.
Nevertheless, conceding ten goals in three matches represents a significant deterioration for a side that had previously recorded consecutive clean sheets against Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna.
The contrast is particularly striking given Sevilla conceded only six goals across their opening six league fixtures. Their defensive record now stands at 16 goals conceded, making greater organisation an immediate priority.
At the opposite end, Sevilla have scored in all nine league games, although their attacking consistency disguises a modest return at home. They have managed multiple goals in just one of their four league matches at the Sanchez-Pizjuan.
That inability to build commanding leads could become especially relevant against opponents showing renewed confidence.
Arrasate gives Osasuna fresh belief
Osasuna's decision to replace Luis Miguel Ramis with Jagoba Arrasate has already produced an encouraging response.
The returning manager inherited a team that had collected just one point across five winless matches, but his first game back brought a convincing 2-0 home victory over Racing Santander.
Ante Budimir converted a first-half penalty before Asier Osambela secured the points in the closing stages.
Equally important was Osasuna's defensive improvement. Racing managed just one shot on target as the hosts registered their first clean sheet since August.
However, translating that performance into away form presents a considerably tougher challenge.
Osasuna have lost their previous three league matches on the road, conceding at least four goals in each. Their defeats included a 5-2 reverse against Alaves, a 4-0 loss to Atletico Madrid and a 5-2 setback against Real Betis.
Arrasate nevertheless possesses a notable psychological advantage, having avoided defeat in his last ten competitive managerial meetings with Sevilla.
Osasuna have also avoided defeat in three of their previous four visits to the Sanchez-Pizjuan, although Sevilla won last season's encounter 1-0 through a Ruben Vargas penalty.
Team news and tactical outlook
Sevilla remain without Marcao, Miguel Sierra and Jon Guridi, while Giorgi Kochorashvili could return after recovering from a calf problem.
His availability would strengthen the midfield options alongside Lucien Agoume and Ibrahim Fofana, potentially helping Sevilla establish greater control and protect their vulnerable defence.
Isaac Romero is available again following suspension but could begin among the substitutes.
Osasuna must cope without Jorge Herrando, Romain Del Castillo and Aimor Oroz. Arrasate could retain the starting side that defeated Racing, with Budimir spearheading the attack.
The striker has scored in three consecutive league matches and on his last two La Liga visits to Sevilla's stadium, making his movement and finishing particularly important against the hosts' struggling back line.
Sevilla's scoring consistency gives them a route to victory, but Osasuna's managerial bounce and the hosts' defensive problems suggest a competitive encounter in which both teams could create opportunities.

🎯 Pick 1: Sevilla to win @ 10/11
Sevilla’s ability to find the net consistently provides the strongest foundation for a home victory in this matchup, particularly when weighed against Osasuna’s profound defensive struggles on the road. The hosts have registered at least one goal in all nine of their league fixtures this season. While their own defensive record has drawn scrutiny following a demanding run of fixtures, their attacking reliability gives them a crucial edge against opponents who have found travelling exceptionally difficult.
The interaction between Sevilla’s scoring streak and Osasuna’s away form heavily supports the home side. Osasuna arrive having lost their last three consecutive league matches on the road, conceding at least four goals in each of those defeats against Alaves, Atletico Madrid and Real Betis. Although returning manager Jagoba Arrasate secured a 2-0 home victory and a clean sheet against Racing Santander last weekend, translating that immediate bounce into away resilience presents a significantly steeper challenge. Osasuna’s vulnerability on their travels aligns poorly with a Sevilla side that routinely breaches opposition backlines.
The principal counter-argument rests on Arrasate’s psychological advantage, having avoided defeat in his last ten competitive managerial meetings with Sevilla, alongside the hosts’ recent defensive collapse that saw them concede ten times in three outings. However, perspective is required regarding Sevilla’s drop in form, as those three recent losses came exclusively against teams occupying the top three league positions. Returning to fixtures outside the elite tier, the hosts’ established scoring consistency gives them a coherent route to overcome an Osasuna unit struggling severely away from home.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Sevilla have scored at least one goal in all nine of their league games this season.
- Osasuna have conceded at least four goals in each of their last three away league trips.
- Prior to facing three top-three opponents, Sevilla recorded consecutive clean sheets against Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna.
Risk Factor: Jagoba Arrasate has avoided defeat in his last ten competitive managerial meetings with Sevilla, presenting a clear historical obstacle to a home victory.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Found the net in all nine league fixtures this season, establishing a highly reliable attacking floor.
Lost three consecutive away trips while conceding at least four goals in each defeat.
⚔️ Pick 2: Sevilla vs Osasuna 1-0 @ 9/2
A narrow 1-0 home victory bridges Sevilla’s scoring consistency with their documented limitations when trying to build commanding leads at the Sanchez-Pizjuan. The hosts have successfully scored in all nine of their league fixtures, making at least one goal a highly credible expectation against an Osasuna side that has struggled badly on the road. However, Sevilla have managed multiple goals in just one of their four home league matches this season, demonstrating a constrained attacking output rather than a high-scoring profile.
The prospect of a Sevilla clean sheet requires looking past their recent sequence of conceding ten goals in three matches. Those fixtures came entirely against top-three opposition in Barcelona, Levante and Real Madrid. Prior to that demanding run, Sevilla recorded consecutive clean sheets against Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna, proving they possess the defensive organisation to shut out non-elite attacks. Returning home against an Osasuna side dealing with away-day fragility provides an opportunity to rediscover that earlier defensive stability, especially if the returning Giorgi Kochorashvili helps protect the backline.
While Ante Budimir arrives with three goals in three consecutive league matches, Osasuna’s broader away form makes a narrow defeat a plausible outcome. This exact fixture concluded with a 1-0 Sevilla victory last season, providing historical precedent for this precise scoreline. The exact-score market remains heavily exposed to a single defensive error or late equalising goal, but the combination of Sevilla’s low home-scoring volume and underlying defensive capability provides coherent support for a single-goal shutout.
Risk Factor: Ante Budimir has scored in three consecutive league matches and on his last two visits to Sevilla, creating a direct threat to the required clean sheet.
