Sevilla vs Osasuna
January 25, 2008
26/1- Sevilla return home after two terrible weeks away and dropping to the 9th position on the points table they would aim to cover some lost ground when they take on the 14th placed Osasuna in a home tie. Sevilla have been in tremendous home form this season and their touring form has looked equally bad and hence the two losses in the last two games would not be a huge shock as both were away games. In fact the last game they played was a very close encounter which they eventually lost against Getafe, Sevilla were edged out 3-2 in the away tie. Osasuna on the other side enter this match on a positive note after they managed to beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at home in the last match they played. A look at the history between the two clubs, Osasuna hold the upper hand however with regards to the matches played in Sevilla, the home team has won thrice while the visitors have registered a couple of victories.
Sevilla is one of the teams which has a great striking ability and they have scored 37 goals in the 20 matches played and this would possibly rank equal to the team placed third on the points table. Fabiano has been the scoring leader for the club and has already a tally of 13 goals, he has been receiving constant support from the likes of Kanoute, who also has transformed into the play maker for the side. With the support from the home crowd and a terrific home record, Sevilla would look to gain all the 3 points at hand.
Osasuna have not performed that badly away from home but there has been nothing special as well. The main focus for them would be to at least get a point of this draw and try and get to the top half ensuring a safe distance from the relegation zone.
Prediction: 2-1, Sevilla win.
