Osasuna have won seven, drawn seven and lost eight of their 22 La Liga matches this season to collect 28 points, which has left them in 11th position in the table, just four points behind seventh-placed Villarreal.
Los Rojillos have finished 10th and 11th in La Liga since returning to this level and do not appear to have any relegation fears this term, currently sitting 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
Osasuna have actually been victorious in two of their last three in the league, recording a 2-0 win over Cadiz on January 9 before overcoming Granada by the same scoreline before the break.
Much of their success this season has been built on a strong away record, having picked up 17 points from their 11 La Liga games on their travels, which is the fifth-best return in the division.
Jagoba Arrasate's side have the third-worst home record this season, though, collecting just 11 points from 11 games, which will be a concern ahead of their clash with high-flying Sevilla.

Sevilla have not won La Liga since 1946, while they have not finished higher than fourth since 2009, but the Red and Whites are firmly in the title argument at this stage of the season.
Indeed, an impressive campaign has seen them win 13, draw seven and lose two of their 22 matches to collect 46 points, which has left them second, four points behind leaders Real Madrid on the same number of games.
Sevilla have been held by Valencia and Celta Vigo in their last two La Liga matches, but they are unbeaten in Spain's top flight since the end of November, winning five of their last eight.
Julen Lopetegui's side, who will take on Dinamo Zagreb in the knockout round of the Europa League, have the third-best away record in La Liga this term, picking up 19 points from 11 matches.
A productive January transfer window saw the club land two talented attackers, meanwhile, with Jesus Manuel Corona arriving from Porto and Anthony Martial joining on loan from Manchester United.

Osasuna will be missing Nacho Vidal for this weekend's match through suspension, while Oier, Lucas Torro, Aridane Hernandez and Jesus Areso are on the sidelines through injury.
Kike came off the bench to score in the 2-0 win over Granada last time out, but the Spaniard could miss out on a spot in the first XI once again, with Ante Budimir and Ezequiel Avila set to retain their spots in attack.
There are not expected to be any major surprises in the home side's starting team, with Ruben Garcia and Darko Brasanac likely to feature in the wide areas once again.
As for Sevilla, new signing Corona is out with a calf issue, while Alejandro Gomez, Thomas Delaney, Suso, Erik Lamela and Jesus Navas are all set to miss the contest through injury.
Martial is expected to make his debut for the visitors down the left, with Rafa Mir and Lucas Ocampos also set to feature in the final third of the field.
Jules Kounde should also be available to return at the heart of the defence, while Oliver Torres is pushing to be involved from the start in central midfield.
Bono, Youssef En-Nesyri and Munir El Haddadi should also all be available for Sevilla following their involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Osasuna possible starting lineup:
Herrera; Cote, D Garcia, Cruz, Sanchez; Brasanac, Moncayola, Perez, R Garcia; Budimir, Avila

We say: Osasuna 1-2 Sevilla
Sevilla need to keep winning if they are to stay in touch with Real Madrid, and we are expecting the visitors to triumph here. Osasuna deserve a lot of respect for another impressive campaign to date, but Sevilla have been excellent this season, and we fancy them to secure all three points on Saturday.
