Sevilla Faces Osasuna in La Liga Showdown This Saturday
SEVILLA, Spain – Sevilla FC will look to end a three-match losing streak when they host Osasuna on Saturday afternoon at Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán in La Liga’s Match Day 12.
Sevilla currently sits in 13th place in the league, having gathered 13 points from their first 11 matches. The club has struggled recently, losing to Mallorca, Real Sociedad, and Atletico Madrid in their last three league outings. Manager José Luis Mendilibar‘s side previously won against Toledo in the Copa del Rey, but suffered a 3-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid on November 1.
Osasuna, positioned in 15th place with 11 points from 11 games, is also in need of a boost. The team drew 0-0 against Real Oviedo in their last match but faced defeats to Atletico Madrid and Celta Vigo in the last three league games. They have won only once in their last five matches.
Historically, Sevilla has had the upper hand against Osasuna, winning 45 of the last 107 encounters. However, in their previous match in April 2025, Osasuna emerged victorious with a 1-0 scoreline. Sevilla hasn’t secured a win against Osasuna in eight straight matches.
Injury concerns impact both sides. For Sevilla, key players are sidelined, including attacker Lucas Ocampos. However, midfielder Joan Jordan returns from suspension. Meanwhile, Osasuna will be without Iker Benito and Valentin Rosier, while Lucas Torro‘s status remains uncertain due to injury.
Ante Budimir will be crucial for Osasuna’s attack, having scored five times in 12 appearances this season. Sevilla hopes that Akor Adams can capitalize on his opportunities, aiming to add to the two goals he has netted this campaign.
The matchup promises to be competitive, with three of the last four matchups ending in draws. Analysts predict a closely contested game, with potential scorelines favoring the attacking capabilities of both teams. The outcome could hinge on whether Sevilla can leverage their attacking momentum against Osasuna’s struggling defense.
The match kicks off at 16:15 GMT. Fans can follow live updates and outcomes but may not have a broadcast option for viewing in the UK.
