Osasuna Preview
Osasuna is having a spectacular season and hopes to get something out of this tournament, where it has never been proclaimed champion and has been runner-up only once. They are just three points away from the Champions League places in La Liga and reached the quarterfinals by knocking out the reigning champions, Real Betis.
However, they needed a penalty shootout to send the Andalusian team home after a draw in regular time. They also drew in their last league game, a 1-1 draw against Elche, making it their fifth consecutive game without defeat (three wins, two draws).
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Aitor Fernández; Diego Moreno, Aridane Hernández, David García, Manu Sánchez; Moi Gómez, Pablo Ibáñez, Darko Brasanac; Chimy Ávila, Ante Budimir, Kike Barja.
Sevilla Preview
Sevilla is going through a much more complicated campaign and is currently just one point above the relegation zone in the league, a place the team managed to get out of with a 1-0 win against Cádiz. The team will now look to continue in the Copa del Rey to get some air in what has been a difficult season.
The Andalusian team has not allowed a goal in the four rounds prior to this one in the tournament, and a 1-0 win over Alavés gave them a place in the quarterfinals. So they will hope to maintain that level of performance against what will be the toughest opponent they have faced so far in the competition.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Bono; Jesús Navas, Nemanja Gudelj, Loic Badé, Karim Rekik; Joan Jordán, Fernando, Iván Rakitic; Erik Lamela, Youssef En-Nesyri, Oliver Torres.
JefeBet Prediction
Sevilla may have won four of their five games in 2023, but a review of the wins shows that they are not entirely imposing: all of their wins were against teams in a lower division or in the bottom five of La Liga at the moment.
The two clubs have already met this season in a game that ended in a 2-1 victory for Osasuna at this venue. In fact, Osasuna have won three of their last four official home games: the only loss in that span was a narrow 1-2 loss to Barcelona.
Considering that the visiting team must keep its legs fresh for league play, where it has a relegation battle pending, it would be no surprise if Sevilla left some of their best players on the bench, which would tilt the balance in favor of Osasuna, which will want to keep being in contention for this Copa del Rey.
Prediction: Osasuna Moneyline.
