Re: Spain 5th December
Seems a decent price on Osasuna to me. If Sevilla are favourites for this game it's based on reputation, not on current form. The two are currently level on points, but Sevilla, by their high standards of last season, are in terrible form. Understandable in a way given what's happened to them, with the death of Puerta and then Juande Ramos leaving them for Spurs. Their away form in particular is very poor, 1-0-5, and the win was at Levante. Osasuna's home record nothing special, and they've been through a bit of a lull in form of late, but they've held Barcelona and beaten Villarreal at home already this season.
Recent H2H very much in Osasuna's favour too, Sevilla haven't won here since 92/93, since then the record has been 6-3-0 for Osasuna.
Lastly, team news very much in Osasuna's favour too. Osasuna expected to make just one change from the side that beat Deportivo at the weekend, Juanfran coming back in place of Vela. Sevilla, however, are without Navarro, Kerzhakov, Kanouté, Chevantón, Dragutinovic, Escudé and Boulahrouz, all injured, plus Alves, suspended, and Capel and Hinkel left out. Not all first teamers, but Kanouté, Dragutinovic and Alves in particular will all be missed.
Osasuna v Sevilla @ 3.0 2pts
Osasuna (DNB) v Sevilla @ 2.1 4pts
