Prediction: 0-1
Sevilla
Osasuna and Sevilla square off against each other in Pamplona in what is expected to be a close Primera Division encounter. Los Rojillos do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team suffering elimination to Club Brugge in the Conference League playoffs, while losing to both Barcelona and Getafe in the previous two league fixtures. The Basques are eager to get back on course, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Both Jon Moncayola and Darko Brasanac are injured for the hosts.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Las Palmas on Sergio Ramos’ return to Pizjuan and they managed to get one. Given Osasuna’s difficulties at the back, we predict that los Sevillanos are going to give fans yet another reason to celebrate this weekend. The likes of Dario Gomez, Marcos Acuna, Nianzou Kouassi, and Alfonso Pastor miss out with injuries, speaking of the away team.
Highlighted Player (Marko Dmitrovic):
A Red Star Belgrade youth prospect, Serbian goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic never got a chance to shine at his boyhood club. The talented shot-stopper was forced to take a longer road to prominence and travelled through Hungary, England and Spain to find his place under the sun. Spells with Ujpest, Charlton Athletic and Alcoron brought nothing but disappointment for the Serbia ‘keeper, who rose to full prominence at Eibar.
Dmitrovic was voted the best player of Eibar for the 2017/18 season after not missing a single league appearance for Los Armeros. Apart from his footballing exploits, Marko Dmitrovic remains remembered for saving Angel Rodriguez Diaz’s life in a game against Getafe.
Dmitrovic was the one to unintentionally knock Angel to the ground after a duel in the box and was also the first one to pull his tongue out when it became apparent that Angel was lying still on the ground. Marko Dmitrovic is Serbia’s second choice goalkeeper who made his debut in 2017. The Eibar custodian was part of Serbia’s World Cup expedition in Russia but did not get a chance in goal with Vladimir Stojkovic being favoured between the sticks.
Highlighted Team (Osasuna):
Osasuna are a Basque football team that plays in Spanish La Liga. Los Rojillos are based in Pamplona and and the club were founded in 1920. Estadio El Sadar has been the home of Osasuna since 1967 and the capacity of the stadium is 19,800.
The colour of Osasuna’s home kit is red, while the team’s shorts are navy blue. Los Rojillos dropped to the Segunda Division at the end of the 2013/2014 La Liga campaign, but they did not spend too many time in the Spanish second tier. The club returned to the elite division in 2016 after beating Girona in the play-offs.
Osasuna made it to the Spanish Copa del Rey final in 2005, but they eventually lost to Real Betis after extra time in the title game. The meaning of the word Osasuna is “health” in Basque and it is used in a sense of strength.
