4756
The penultimate match of the weekend in La Liga takes place on the 26th of February and is between Sevilla and Osasuna.
The game will be played at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán and the hosts begin the weekend in 12th place 25 points while the visitors are in 10th place on 30 points.
Sevilla come into the match on the back of a 2-0 defeat at PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League on Thursday night. Both goals came in the final 13 minutes of the game and despite losing the match, it was Sevilla who progressed to the round of 16 having won the first leg 3-0 in Spain last week. Nonetheless, it was still a disappointing result.
The defeat in Eindhoven means Sevilla are undefeated in 3 of their last 4 fixtures in all competitions. There have been wins over RCD Mallorca at home in La Liga and PSV Eindhoven at home in the Europa League. Sevilla picked up a point last weekend in La Liga as they held Rayo Vallecano to a 1-1 draw in the capital.
Trends show Sevilla have won their last 5 home games in all competitions and have not lost in 25 of their last 30 home matches in La Liga. They have won each of their last 4 home league fixtures and have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 La Liga games on home soil.
Osasuna travel to the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán having lost 2-0 at home to Real Madrid last weekend. It was not until the 78th minute Real Madrid managed to breakdown the hosts and they added a second goal in added time to take maximum points.
That result means Osasuna have failed to win any of their last 4 games, all of which have come in La Liga. There have been defeats against Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid at home plus draws at Espanyol and Real Valladolid. Trends show Osasuna have failed to win any of their 5 most recent league fixtures, recoding just 1 win from their last 9 La Liga matches.
However, Osasuna have been difficult to beat when playing away and are unbeaten in all their last 6 away matches in all competitions. There are no losses for Osasuna in 10 of their most recent 11 away games and they have drawn each of their last 4 on the road in the league, with under 2.5 goals scored in each of them.
Team news and Sevilla are without the injured quartet of Loïc Badé, Karim Rekik, Alejandro Dario Gomez, Marcos Teixeira Marcão. They also have doubts over the fitness of Jesus Manuel Corona.
Osasuna will assess the fitness of Ruben Peña and Nacho Vidal, with both having a chance of playing.
Sevilla have been showing some signs of improvement and they have been good in recent home matches. However, Osasuna are tough opposition when playing away and this match could end level, with under 2.5 goals scored.
