Sevilla - Osasuna

Match date: 26/10-21:00

Sevilla FC

A golden opportunity

Back to the Sánchez-Pizjuán after the controversial defeat against Real Madrid in a match with highly questioned officiating, which is still being talked about. Despite that, Luis García Plaza's side will try to keep putting out good signals at the start of the season, in which they have only lost to the three big teams. Now they need to return home to try to get back to the good rhythm and show that this team can keep competing at a high level.

We have a very interesting showdown in which LGP will face a familiar opponent returning to Osasuna in a bid to give the Navarrese back the edge they seemed to have lost in the last few matchdays. Arrasate's return adds extra interest to a game in which we could see changes in the Sevilla starting XI, with the possible return of Kochorashvili after injury or Isaac Romero rejoining after serving his suspension. Others, like the good Miguel Sierra or Guridi, will have to keep waiting as their recoveries continue.

This is an important test for the hispalenses, who can confirm whether they truly have this season that competitive gene that makes them a tough opponent for anyone, or whether, on the contrary, this strong start has been the result of a good run. We all know that football is indeed about feelings and streaks, but it is also about proving you can maintain them when complicated matches come along. There is no doubt it will be a fascinating duel to see how far this team can go.

CA Osasuna

The coaching change had to come to switch the mindset. After 5 straight matches without picking up a win, Jagoba Arrasate returned to the rojillo side and achieved a twofold objective: to get back on track with three points and to keep the clean sheet. Something that also hadn't happened since Osasuna's last victory. Racing of Santander paid the price at the Sadar, thanks to the goals from Budimir and Osambela. 

For matchday 10, it is a trip to Sánchez Pizjuán against a competitive Sevilla. For the visit to the Seville capital, Jagoba Arrasate will not be able to count on Herrando in defense or Aimar Oroz or Romain Del Castillo in the most attacking area.

As for the makeup of the Navarrese XI, it initially seems that Aitor Fernández has the edge in goal. In defense, if what works isn't changed, Rosier and Boyomo are going to be important with Arrasate, along with Catena and Bretones. The double pivot of Iker Muñoz and Moncayola with Moi Gómez or Osambela as the link player to connect with Budimir and his supporting cast: Rubén García and Dubasin.
