Osasuna has had a decent run over their last five fixtures, showing resilience and capability with a record of two wins, two draws, and one loss.
Their recent form of WWDDL indicates that they have been relatively tough to beat, securing 1.20 goals on average per game and managing to keep one clean sheet.
Their most recent outing saw them secure a crucial victory against Real Valladolid with a 3-2 scoreline, underlining their potential offensive threat. However, they must improve their defensive solidity, as shown by conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match this season.

Osasuna Key Players

Osasuna will rely on key performers to make a difference in this clash against Sevilla. Ante Budimir, their top scorer with 18 goals this season, is sure to be a focal point in the attacking third. He will be supported by Rubén García, who has been a creative force in the lineup.

Vicente Moreno’s expected lineup for Osasuna includes:

Goalkeeper: Sergio Herrera
Defenders: Jesús Areso, Flavien Boyomo, Alejandro Catena, Jorge Herrando, Abel Bretones
Midfielders: Pablo Ibáñez, Lucas Torró, Aimar Oroz
Forwards: Ante Budimir, Rubén García

The midfield battle will be vital, especially with Lucas Torró and Aimar Oroz controlling the tempo. Defensive solidity is crucial, with Flavien Boyomo and Alejandro Catena tasked with keeping Sevilla’s attackers at bay.

Osasuna Suspensions & Injuries

Osasuna has a couple of key absentees due to injuries in their upcoming match against Sevilla:

Injuries

Player	Injury	Expected return
Raúl García De Haro	Eye injury	Early May 2025
Jon Moncayola	Hamstring injury	Early May 2025

These injuries may impact Osasuna’s midfield dynamic, particularly the absence of Jon Moncayola, who contributes significantly to the team’s control and distribution in the middle of the park. Raúl García De Haro’s absence will affect the attacking depth on the bench, putting more pressure on Ante Budimir to deliver up front.

Osasuna Tactics and Formation

Osasuna Tactical Breakdown:

Formation: 5-3-2
Key Forward: Ante Budimir
Midfield Trio: Pablo Ibáñez, Lucas Torró, Aimar Oroz
Defensive Strength: One clean sheet in the last five games.
Notable Strategy: Utilize wing-backs to provide width and support in both attack and defense.

Osasuna under Vicente Moreno typically sets up in a 5-3-2 formation, emphasizing defensive solidity and swift counter-attacks. The presence of five defenders, including wing-backs Jesús Areso and Abel Bretones, offers both protection at the back and overlap options on the flanks. In midfield, Torró anchors the play, allowing Oroz and Ibáñez to make forward runs and create scoring opportunities. Up front, Budimir is the main target man, ably supported by Rubén García. The focus will be on controlled possession and exploiting any defensive lapses from Sevilla, especially in the later stages of the game when they are most vulnerable.

Sevilla Team Analysis

Sevilla Recent Performance

The last five matches have not been kind to Sevilla, who find themselves on a troubling streak with recent form reading DLLLL. Sevilla has struggled, managing only one draw and four losses in their last five outings. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in these matches and have averaged a rather low 0.60 goals scored per game.

Home team	Away team	Date	Competition	Result
Sevilla	Deportivo Alaves	2025-04-20	LaLiga	1-1 (Draw)
Valencia	Sevilla	2025-04-11	LaLiga	1-0 (Loss)
Sevilla	Atletico Madrid	2025-04-06	LaLiga	1-2 (Loss)
Real Betis	Sevilla	2025-03-30	LaLiga	2-1 (Loss)
Sevilla	Athletic Club	2025-03-16	LaLiga	0-1 (Loss)

Sevilla’s defensive frailties are evident, having conceded an average of 1.4 goals per match this season. They will need to tighten up at the back and find more firepower upfront to turn their form around.

Sevilla Key Players

Sevilla’s hopes for a turnaround rest heavily on their key performers. Dodi Lukebakio, their top scorer with 11 goals this season, will be crucial in breaking down Osasuna’s defense. His battles against Osasuna’s center-backs Flavien Boyomo and Alejandro Catena could define the game’s outcome.
Additionally, Ørjan Nyland in goal must be at his best to keep Osasuna’s forwards at bay.

Expected lineup for Sevilla:

Goalkeeper: Ørjan Nyland
Defenders: José Ángel Carmona, Loïc Badé, Ramón Martínez, Adrià Pedrosa
Midfielders: Lucien Agoumé, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Gerard Fernández Castellano Peque
Attackers: Dodi Lukebakio, Chidera Ejuke, Isaac Romero

Sevilla will need their key players to step up and deliver if they hope to secure a much-needed win.

Sevilla Suspensions & Injuries

Player	Injury	Expected return
Tanguy Nianzou Kouassi	Thigh injury	Unknown
Ruben Vargas	Thigh injury	Early May 2025
Akor Adams	Thigh injury	Early May 2025

Player	Suspension	Expected return
Nemanja Gudelj	Yellow cards	1 match left (24/04/2025)

Sevilla will be without some key players due to injuries and suspensions. Tanguy Nianzou Kouassi remains sidelined with an unknown return date, while both Ruben Vargas and Akor Adams are expected to be back in early May. Additionally, Nemanja Gudelj will miss the match due to accumulated yellow cards.

These absences could significantly impact Sevilla’s performance, especially in midfield where Gudelj has been a pivotal player. Sevilla’s coach, Joaquin Caparros, will need to reshuffle his lineup to cover for these missing pieces and maintain a competitive edge.

Sevilla Tactics and Formation

Formation: 4-2-3-1
Key Forward: Isaac Romero
Midfield Trio: Lucien Agoumé, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Gerard Fernández Castellano Peque
Defensive Strength: None in the last five games
Notable Strategy: Targeting the wings to stretch the opposition

Sevilla are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation as they take on Osasuna. The focal point of the attack will be centre-forward Isaac Romero, who will be looking to capitalize on crosses and through balls. Flanking him will be wingers Dodi Lukebakio and Chidera Ejuke, the two pacy wide players tasked with stretching the Osasuna defense.

In midfield, Lucien Agoumé and Albert Sambi Lokonga will provide the defensive screen and transitional play, while Gerard Fernández Castellano Peque will serve as the creative force in the central attacking midfielder role.

The defense will need to tighten up, given Sevilla’s struggle to keep clean sheets in recent matches. The main tactical adjustment could be a focus on exploiting wide areas and delivering crosses into the box, hoping to catch Osasuna off-guard during the latter stages of each half.
