Preview Sevilla La Liga, Oct 30, 2021

Preview Following the 1-1 draw against Mallorca on Wednesday, Sevilla moved up to second place in the Spanish LaLiga table. Sevilla had the first chance of the game before Mallorca established the lead through Antonio Sanchez (22') midway through the first half. Minutes after the break, Mallorca came close to doubling the lead, hitting the woodwork in a clear-cut chance. Living dangerously, Julen Lopetegui made the required changes to see his side back in the game. Midway through the second half, Erik Lamela (73’) brought Sevilla back on level terms with a fantastic effort. Before the final whistle, Mallorca had a man sent off at the death, after Jaume Costa (R. 90+2’) was given the marching orders for a horrific tackle on a Sevilla shirt. The draw leaves Sevilla with 21 points after 6W, 3D & 1L. The club also has equal points with first-placed Real Madrid (21), with both sides having a game in hand. With the club picking up their first draw in five games, WLWWD, Julen Lopetegui will aim to return to winning ways when his side takes on Osasuna this Saturday. The 55-year-old could line up with the 4—3—3 formation once again as he did in the game against Mallorca. Rafa Mir is expected to be at the heart of the attack, while Munir and Suso could be on the flanks, supporting the 24-year-old for this game. Ocampos could make another off-the-bench appearance alongside Erik Lamela, while Youssef En-Nesyri could make a cameo. Julen Lopetegui has a fully fit squad ahead of this fixture against Osasuna.

Preview Osasuna appeared against Real Madrid with a defensive 5—3—2 formation aimed at frustrating Los Blancos in a bid to leave the Santiago Bernabéu with a point. Fortunately, all went according to plan for Jagoba Arrasate, as the visitors did everything possible to keep Madrid at bay. The goalless draw saw Osasuna remain in 6th place with 19 points after 5W, 4D, & 2L while having a form that reads: WWWDD. Osasuna has bagged a total of 14 goals while conceding thirteen, leaving the club with a G.D. of +1. Manager Jagoba Arrasate will aim for a point, but could take three if the opportunity to do so presents itself on Saturday when he lines up a defensive 5—3—2 formation. Kike Garcia and Ezequiel Ávila are expected in attack.
