It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out this LaLiga matchup between Osasuna and Sevilla. Looking at the data, it's clear as a freshly cleaned windshield that we have a tight little game on our hands.
On one hand you got Sevilla protected by the gloves of Ørjan Nyland, a man who knows his way around a goalpost, pulling a respectable 6.90 rating this season and saving 11 shots. But then you glance over to team Osasuna, and they've got a duo of goalkeeping talents, Aitor Fernández and Sergio Herrera, both doing the cha-cha-cha under the goal post with ratings of 8.40 and 7.28 respectively.
Now let's talk offense. Sevilla has got a cavalcade of ball masters. Lucien Agoumé and Kike Salas come to mind, their average pass accuracy's are high enough to make a math teacher smile. Then again, Osasuna's side doesn't fall short either. Rubén García with his cannon of a leg has already scored a goal this season, and his accuracy with the pumpkin isn't too shabby either.
But let's really think about apples and oranges here. Historical results have shown a knack for draws between these two teams, and their regular season records are practically mirror images of each other. That doesn't even factor in the seemingly identical pattern of their recent results.
Now, I don't claim to be Nostradamus, folks, but given past performances, goalkeeper stats, and player form, I'm going to make a prediction. It will stick to your prediction pan like a good cheese omelette, and it goes like
