Following their recent Champions League group-stage match, Sevilla will now shift their focus back to La Liga, where they are set to face Osasuna in the upcoming fixture.

Osasuna's performance in La Liga this season has been somewhat lackluster, as they've managed to secure just six points from their first five matches, placing them in the 12th position in the league standings. In contrast, Sevilla finds themselves in the 17th spot, with a mere three points from their initial four games.

Osasuna's season started on a tough note, especially with their defeat to Club Brugge in the playoff round for the Europa Conference League, which consequently led to their elimination from the competition's group stage.

Jagoba Arrasate's squad has struggled to recover from this European disappointment, enduring two consecutive defeats in the league, including a 3-2 loss to Getafe in their most recent outing. Notably, they were on course to secure a draw against Getafe until the 86th-minute goal by the home side.

Last season, Osasuna managed to secure a respectable seventh-place finish in La Liga, and they aspire to replicate or improve upon this performance this season. However, they must establish a consistent run of form, especially considering their upcoming challenging fixtures against Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid.

On the other hand, Sevilla endured a tough start to the 2023-24 season, suffering losses in their first four matches, including a penalty shootout defeat to Manchester City in the UEFA Super Cup. However, they managed to break their losing streak with a 1-0 victory over Las Palmas during the international break, thanks to a second-half goal from Dodi Lukebakio.

Although Sevilla currently sits in 17th place with just three points, they have a game in hand over most of the other teams in the league, as their match against Atletico Madrid earlier this month had to be postponed due to adverse weather conditions.

In their recent Champions League encounter, Sevilla played to a 1-1 draw against Lens. Worth noting is that Sevilla hasn't won any of their last three league matches against Osasuna, with Osasuna winning both encounters during the 2022-23 season.

As for their last game against Getafe, Osasuna had 55% possession, made 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target, and scored through Iker Muñoz and Ante Budimir. Getafe, their opponents, managed 11 shots at goal with 6 on target, and scored through Stefan Mitrović, Carmona, and Nemanja Maksimović.

In recent meetings, there has been an average of at least three goals per match in five of the last six games Osasuna participated in. While they scored 8 goals, their opponents netted 12 times during this period.

Osasuna hasn't been defeated by Sevilla in the league in their last three matches and hasn't won at home in their last two league games.

The previous encounter between these two teams took place on February 26, 2023, during La Liga matchday 23, with Osasuna winning 3-2 against Sevilla. Sevilla enjoyed 67% possession, had 22 shots on goal with 8 on target, and scored through Nemanja Gudelj, Fernando (own goal), and Youssef En-Nesyri. Osasuna, on the other hand, had 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target, and scored through David García and Abdessamad Ezzalzouli.

As for the current team situation, Sevilla manager José Mendilibar has some limitations due to injuries to Tanguy Nianzou, Marcos Acuña, and Marcão. On the other hand, Osasuna's Jagoba Arrasate has a near full-strength squad, with Darko Brasanac being the only player unavailable due to injury (Cruciate Ligament Rupture).
