The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of important matches this weekend as Osasuna lock horns with Julen Lopetegui's Sevilla outfit at El Sadar on Saturday.
Osasuna vs Sevilla Preview
Sevilla are currently in second place in the La Liga standings and have been a formidable force in the league this season. The Andalusian giants were held to a 2-2 draw by a spirited Celta Vigo side in their previous game and will need to return to winning ways this weekend.
Osasuna, on the other hand, are in 11th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The Pamplona-based outfit suffered a shock 1-0 defeat against Deportivo Alaves last weekend and have plenty of work to do ahead of this fixture.
