Cellar-dwelling club CA Osasuna (1-11-6, 9 points) is scheduled to host title contenders Sevilla FC (12-3-3, 39 points) at the El Sadar Stadium on Sunday, Jan. 22 as the 2016-2017 La Liga season continues.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 6:00 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Osasuna, one of three newly-promoted teams from the Segunda Division this season, has been struggling in the entire term, winning only once in 18 games in the Spanish top flight so far. They are now in the bottom of the 20-team standings and it looks like they will be headed back to the second-tier at the end of the season.
Los Rojillos are coming off a 1-1 tie with nine-man team Granada last Sunday on the road at the Los Cármenes Stadium, as per Sporting Life.
Spanish striker Oriol Riera opened the scoring for head coach Petar Vasiljević's side in the 12th minute with a right-footed shot off an assist by teammate Alex Berenguer.
However, El Grana was able to find the equalizer in the 69th minute with a goal by Ukrainian forward Artem Kravets.
Two Granada players were then sent off in the 73rd and 90th+5 minutes, namely Uche Agbo and Ezequiel Ponce, but Osasuna was not able to score the game-winner until time expired.
Meanwhile, Sevilla pulled off a stunning 2-1 upset win over current league leaders Real Madrid at their home ground of Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium also last Sunday, Sports Mole reported.
After a goalless first half, Los Blancos broke the game's deadlock in the 67th minute with a penalty kick from superstar Cristiano Ronaldo before an own goal by Real captain Sergio Ramos tied the game at 1-1 in the 85th.
Sevilla then netted the winning goal in stoppage time via a 25-yard shot from Montenegrin striker Stevan Jovetic to hand Real Madrid their first loss in La Liga this season.
With the win, head coach Jorge Sampaoli's squad has cut Real's lead in the overall standings to just one point at the moment as they settle in the second spot of the league table.
