A 1-0 lead will be something Osasuna look to hang on to in their away leg of this UEFA Cup semi final tie. An away goal for the team may prove crucial in deciding who progresses to the UEFA Cup final.

Seville need to hit the ground running to make up a 1-0 deficit. They have a home advantage but will it be enough to see progression to an all Spanish UEFA Cup final. Seville are doing well in their domestic league sitting 2^nd 1 point behind Barcelona but also beat UEFA Cup Espanyol 3-1 at the weekend. Renato Dirnei is a doubt for this match for Seville. It is crucial that the Spanish side do not concede an away goal in this tie.

Osasuna have got a excellent chance to gain a place at the Uefa Cup Final.  With a poor league position all there mind is set on an all out attack for the Uefa Cup. If they can keep a 1-0 advantage, and the opportunity is in their hands. Their performance is not up to Osasuna’s standards by a 2-2 draw against Real Zaragoza.  There got no injury worries ahead to this game.

Again this will be a tight match and may be decided by a single goal. However, we believe Seville will repeat their weekend performance with a 3-1 win.
