Osasuna vs Sevilla Match Preview
Osasuna and Sevilla live two different realities. Sevilla cannot waste the opportunity to obtain the three points at the Reyno de Navarra, vital to keep up with the European fight. Osasuna stands at the 15th position with 41 points, and could abandon the bottom fight upon a third consecutive victory.
Osasuna's coach Jose Luis Mendilibar misses Javad Nekounam due to disciplinary action, but recovers Miguel Flaño in the midfield. One of the most startling absentees in Osasuna's list is Walter Pandiani, for it seems Mendilibar does not want to risk him needlessly. Kike Sola will have to deal with Sevilla's defense on his own, with Alvaro Cejudo and Damia on the wings.
Sevilla's Gregorio Manzano has a lot to think about before visiting Navarra. Defenders Martin Caceres, Alexis Ruano and Fernando Navarro won't be able to perform, just as Ivan Rakitic. As if this wasn't enough, Koffi Ndri Romaric is ruled out due to disciplinary action.
Sevilla recovers Diego Perrotti, a vital player in Manzano's scheme due to his speed and versatility on the field. An interesting clash between two squads fighting for their own Glory, who will claim the full scoring?
