In this week 23 match on the 5th of February, Osasuna plays host to Sevilla in a clash of these two extremely mismatched La Liga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 3 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Osasuna is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Granada. David García struck first for Osasuna in the 64th minute on a feed from Rubén García, then Kike added another in the 89th minute In the end, Granada couldn’t muster any offence and Osasuna ran away with the shutout win. Osasuna looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 2nd placed Sevilla, recorded a 2-2 draw against Celta de Vigo. Franco Cervi scored the first goal for Celta de Vigo in the 37th minute, then Iago Aspas added another in the 40th minute. Sevilla should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches.
