The Matchday 33 clash in La Liga between Osasuna and Sevilla will take place on April 24 at the El Sadar Stadium in Pamplona. Osasuna vs. Sevilla: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Osasuna
The Pamplona side is unbeaten in four consecutive league matches. During this run, the team first drew away with Athletic (0-0) and Leganes (1-1). Then, Vicente Moreno's men defeated Girona at home (2-1) and won away against Valladolid with a score of 3-2. Such unbeaten streaks have not been seen in La Liga since December last year. The club has climbed to the middle of the table and is back in the race for a European competition spot, trailing the top 8 by just two points.
- In the last 20 La Liga matches, Osasuna has only three wins (11 draws and 6 losses).
- At least two goals have been scored in 6 of Osasuna's last 7 La Liga games.
- The club has not won the second half in eight consecutive league matches (3 draws and 5 losses).
Predicted lineup for Osasuna (5-4-1)
Sergio Herrera – Abel Bretones, Jesus Areso, Jorge Herrando Oroz, Alejandro Catena, Enzo Boyomo – Jon Moncayola, Ruben Garcia, Lucas Torro, Aimar Oroz – Ante Budimir.
Sevilla
Joaquin Caparros made his debut as the club's head coach with a home draw against Alaves (1-1). Despite dropping points, it should be noted that the team had a four-match losing streak in the league prior to this. Due to such disappointing results, Sevilla has slipped to 15th place in the standings, with only a 6-point cushion from the nearest relegation zone rival.
- In their last eight La Liga matches, the club has only one win (3 draws and 4 losses).
- At least two goals have been scored in 7 of Sevilla's last 10 league matches.
- Sevilla has not lost the second half in eight consecutive away La Liga matches (3 wins and 5 draws).
Predicted lineup for Sevilla (4-2-3-1)
Orjan Nyland – Ramon Martinez Gil, Jose Carmona, Loic Bade, Adria Pedrosa – Lucien Agoume, Nemanja Gudelj – Dodi Lukebakio, Peque Fernandez, Chidera Ejuke – Isaac Romero.
Midfielder Nemanja Gudelj will miss the game due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Osasuna vs. Sevilla: Match Prediction
Thanks to a favorable schedule, Osasuna has finally managed to stabilize their league form. The team has started winning again in La Liga, which has not only virtually secured them from relegation to Segunda (with a 10-point lead over the bottom three) but also put them back in contention for a European competition spot. I believe that the successful execution in the last four matches will improve the team's morale, and they will once again fight for a place in European competitions.
Meanwhile, Sevilla's struggles led to the dismissal of Garcia Pimienta. In March, they hoped to finish in a European spot, but now the team's goal is to maintain their place in La Liga. I'm confident Sevilla will not manage to defeat Osasuna on their home turf, where they have suffered only three losses in this season's La Liga (7 wins and 6 draws). Furthermore, Osasuna has not lost to Sevilla in the league over six meetings (2 wins and 4 draws).
My prediction – Osasuna with a handicap (0)
