Head-to-head statistics Osasuna - Sevilla

Osasuna Team Overview
🔴 In the first half of the season, skepticism surrounding Alessio Lisci grew rapidly. The young Italian coach lacks extensive experience and is still developing in his role. Nevertheless, he has managed to fine-tune the team's dynamics and instill a recognizable tactical style at Osasuna. Currently, the "Reds" hold the 10th spot in the league standings, sitting six points clear of the relegation zone. It's worth noting Osasuna's impressive home performance-29 points from 15 games, ranking them sixth in the league.
📌 In their last La Liga match, Osasuna fell to Athletic (0-1) at San Mamés. This result was largely due to circumstances-Osasuna had numerous chances in the second half to at least secure a point. A glance at the expected goals ratio in the second half reveals 1.21 to 0.07 in favor of Osasuna. Alessio Lisci's preferred tactical setup is the 4-2-3-1 formation, which fully utilizes the potential of counter-attacking football. Osasuna's top scorer this season is Ante Budimir, with 16 goals in 31 appearances.

Sevilla Team Overview
🔴 In their last seven matches, the “Nervionenses” have secured just one victory - against Atletico Madrid (2-1). This high level of inconsistency in results is the primary reason Sevilla find themselves in 17th place in the league standings. Let's take a closer look at the team's average performance metrics: they score 1.22 goals per game while conceding 1.66 (the worst in the league). Their significant defensive struggles frequently lead to the loss of crucial points.
⚪ In the last round of the national championship, Sevilla suffered an away defeat to Levante (0-2). Luis Garcia's men were overly straightforward in their play on the opponent's half, as reflected in the expected goals ratio: 1.53 to 0.28 in favor of the “Frogs.” Interestingly, Sevilla failed to register a single shot on target. The Spanish coach prefers a 3-4-2-1 tactical formation, focusing particularly on wing-based attacks. Sevilla's top scorer in the current La Liga campaign is Aikor Adams, with 8 goals in 27 appearances.

Latest news
Osasuna
🎤 Osasuna head coach Alessio Lisci shared his thoughts on his team's recent 1-0 defeat to Athletic: “I believe we did enough in the second half to at least secure a draw. We did what we could, but what can't happen is to throw away the first half like that and not be alert in certain situations, because these matches are usually decided by fine margins. You have to know how to play in a game when it gets ugly, and once again, we failed to do that. When the game turns ugly, we end up conceding from situations where we're not fully engaged, which is exactly what happened today. They even had chances to score a second goal in the same manner.”
❌ Among Osasuna's unavailable players, only Iker Benito stands out due to a knee injury.
Sevilla
🎤 Head coach Luis Garcia did not hold back his frustration following the away match against Levante (0-2): "The first half was very poor. I told them this at halftime, and they acknowledged it themselves. We squandered possession, gave away 45 minutes, and then gifted them a goal. You can't play like that. In the second half, we showed a different side; the game was good for 20 minutes, although we lacked precision in the final passes, but we fought. The first half was the worst performance since I joined. Football is about defense and attack. You need to possess the ball confidently. I understand that wearing this badge carries a huge responsibility, but we are a team from the lower part of the table, and everyone is giving their all. We need confidence to achieve results. In the second half, we tried to create dangerous moments, even if we didn't always hit the target."
❌ Among Sevilla's unavailable players are Marcão (wrist injury) and Isaac Romero (suspension).
⚽ Goal Prediction
It's worth noting that neither team is particularly solid defensively. Just look at the average goals conceded: the "Reds" allow 1.2 per game, while the "Nervionenses" concede 1.7. Osasuna have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three matches. A similar pattern is evident in Sevilla's last seven games. A well-founded betting option here is both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Prediction
In Osasuna's last 8 matches, there have been no more than 10 corners. This trend is also seen in 7 of Sevilla's last 9 games. Let's take a look at the average number of corners conceded by each side in the current La Liga season: the "Reds" average 4.7, while the "Nervionenses" average 4.6. The editorial choice is total corners under 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
When considering the key bet, it's crucial to take into account the defensive issues both sides face - a lack of defensive efficiency is evident for both teams. The "Reds", despite their commitment to cautious football, remain quite vulnerable during transitions. Meanwhile, the "Nervionenses" frequently falter in their build-up play, often gifting dangerous opportunities to their opponents. Our editorial team anticipates a flurry of positional errors leading to scoring chances. We predict a final score of 2-1, with the key bet being on total goals over 2.
