- Sevilla FC are 6th in LaLiga 2026/2027 with 14 points from their 9 games so far.
- Osasuna are 10th in the table with 11 points from their opening 9 matches.
- Sevilla have won 2 and lost 2 of their 4 home matches in LaLiga 2026/2027.
Sevilla and Osasuna both have the firepower to score
Luis Garcia's Sevilla have won only 1 of their last 5 matches (D1, L3) and it would be a brave man who says they can't be beaten in their next game at Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuan, as Osasuna are no slouches. Los Rojillos have won just 1 of their 5 games in this period (D1, L3) and they are equally capable of losing this matchup, so the draw at 3.4 must be considered.
The bookmakers are also on board with the hosts, but Sevilla are a bit short at 1.9, while Osasuna are a long 4.0, so we'll stay on the sidelines for the head-to-head markets and take the 1.7 odds for under 2.5 goals. There's a lean towards a home win on the balance of the last few encounters, but the odds are too short for a matchup that should be a close and tactical battle.
That's because Garcia has made his Sevilla side compact and aggressive since taking the helm on 24 March 2026. The set up is 4-2-3-1, but they play on the front foot by pressing high up the pitch and loading up the flanks when they have possession. Osasuna are more direct, playing at high intensity, with crosses and set pieces a key element of their game, but the compactness of Sevilla can make them a difficult team to break down.
Osasuna can get on the scoresheet
Osasuna boss Jagoba Arrasate has worked well with the squad since taking over on 12 October 2026, but the visitors are too open and have been giving away too many goals on the road. Los Rojillos have shipped 15 goals in four away matches this season at an average of 3.75 per-game, while Sevilla have conceded seven times in four home games.
That suggests that this could be a goal fest, but given both sides have had indifferent spells of form, under 2.5 goals is the smart bet, while we'll go for Sevilla to nick it because of their greater overall quality.
Miguel Angel Sierra is Sevilla's top scorer with two goals in seven LaLiga 2026/2027 appearances and he looks the best option for an anytime goal here. But Ante Budimir can be Osasuna's goal threat, as he has hit five times in seven league matches, including three of their last five.
