Osasuna vs Sevilla Prediction & Match Preview
Osasuna vs Sevilla
Spanish Copa del Rey
Date: 25 January 2023, Wednesday
Kick-off at 21:00 UK / 22:00 CET
Venue: Estadio El Sadar (Pamplona).
Both Osasuna and Sevilla can be happy with the quarterfinal draw in Copa del Rey as they avoided the strongest teams in the country at this stage of the competition.
Osasuna made the biggest upset in the previous round by eliminating Sevilla’s bitter city rivals Real Betis on penalties after a 2-2 draw away at Estadio Benito Villamarin.
Osasuna are generally enjoying an outstanding campaign in this term of La Liga. They occupy the sky-high 7th position in the league standings at the moment.
They are very tough to beat in Pamplona with six wins in nine league matches for head coach Arrasate and his troops at Estadio El Sadar.
It is thus no surprise to see the hosts as slight favorites to advance from this tie despite the reputation Sevilla have earned the last decade.
This whole reputation means for little for Los Rojiblancos this season as they have spent the whole first half down in the relegation scrap.
Jorge Sampaoli’s men moved away from the red zone thanks to a super-important 1-0 victory over direct rivals Cadiz on Saturday evening.
Ivan Rakitic made the difference from the penalty spot as late as in the 89th minute of a pretty boring affair which did not offer many chances at either end.
Sevilla have a dreadful record in Pamplona. They have been struggling badly to get things going ever since the start of this season. Sampaoli’s troops did not shine in the recent matches either, despite getting the narrow victories.
