The Copa del Rey returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Osasuna lock horns with a struggling Sevilla outfit in an important clash at the El Sadar on Wednesday.
Osasuna vs Sevilla Preview
Osasuna are currently in seventh place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Pamplona-based outfit played out a 1-1 draw against Elche last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Sevilla, on the other hand, are in 15th place in the league table at the moment and have endured a shockingly poor campaign so far. The Andalusian giants edged Cadiz to a crucial 1-0 victory in their previous game and will need to be at their best this week.
