take on the visitors in the round 23 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, February 26th at Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan (Sevilla).
In the middle of the week, Sevilla went to visit PSV in the second leg of the Europa League. They showed themselves very poorly there, lost 0-2 and almost brought the matter to extra time. This season, the team in La Liga is not fighting for high places, but for survival. Now they are not in a position to be considered a favorite even in a home match against Osasuna. Yes, Sevilla won four in a row within the framework of the championship at home. But 4 out of 11 matches is not much at all. Yes, and most of the opponents were weak in these fights. For example, Elche, Cadiz or Getafe. Well, any series, even the most successful, is interrupted sooner or later. I think that the fifth home victory in a row for the Jorge Sampaoli team may well not happen.

Osasuna are strong mid-table team in La Liga. At the moment, the table is higher in the table than the opponent, ahead of them by 5 points. Before this match, the visitors had rest for more than a week, while Sevilla will have only three days since the match against PSV. Three days in such a busy schedule is a decent difference in terms of recovery for the players. And even without taking into account the fatigue factor of the hosts, the visitors may well catch on for points. In 2023, in seven La Liga matches, Osasuna lost only to the giants (Real and Atlético). Before the holidays, they inferior to Barcelona and Real Sociedad. So it turns out that only the top teams found the keys to the team of Yagoba Arrasate in the last 13 rounds of the championship. It is unlikely that anyone will turn their tongues to call Sevilla a top team now.
Recently, Sevilla have accustomed everyone to home victories in the championship, so the bookmakers put them as a favorite in this fight. But Osasuna are having a good season and they are a very unpleasant opponent for any team in Spain. In the new calendar year, for 7 rounds of La Liga, the wards of Yagoba Arrasate suffered only two defeats, in both cases the offenders were the Madrid teams located in the top 4 of the table. I think that even away against Sevilla, tired after the European Cup battles in the Netherlands, Osasuna can catch points. Therefore, I consider it more logical to block two possible options in terms of the outcome with the X2 bet, rather than believing in the victory of the hosts for about the same odds. By the way, Sevilla can not get the better of this opponent in three head-to-head fights in a row. I don't think it will win now.
Prediction for the match: Osasuna not to lose (X2).
