The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Sevilla lock horns with Osasuna on Saturday. Both teams have been impressive this season and will want to win this game.

Osasuna are in seventh place in the La Liga standings and have punched above their weight this season. The Pamplona-based outfit held Real Madrid to a 0-0 stalemate last week and will want a similar result this weekend.

Sevilla, on the other hand, have been excellent this year and are in third place in the league table at the moment. The Andalusians were held to a 1-1 draw by Mallorca in their previous game and will need to bounce back in this match.

The previous meeting between the two teams took place in February this year and ended in a 2-0 victory for Sevilla. Osasuna failed to make an impact on the day and will need to bounce back in this fixture.

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
