The 2023-24 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Osasuna lock horns with Sevilla in an intriguing fixture at the Estadio el Sadar on Saturday.
Osasuna vs Sevilla Preview
Sevilla are currently in 17th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Andalusian giants were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Lens in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Osasuna, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The home side slumped to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Getafe last week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Osasuna vs Sevilla Prediction
Sevilla have flattered to deceive over the past year and cannot afford another poor year in La Liga. The likes of Lucas Ocampos and Ivan Rakitic are seasoned campaigners and will need to bring their experience to the fore this weekend.
Osasuna have punched above their weight in recent months but are yet to hit their stride this season. Sevilla are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.
