After the home draw with Villarreal, Osasuna booked in their first loss in the league away to the new top fliers Tenerife. In the second round, Sevilla managed to make amends for the opening loss to Valencia having managed to score a convincing win over Zaragoza.

Thanks to several excellent performances in the closing stages of the last season, Sevilla managed to grab the third seat which directly led them to Champions League this year. Unirea Urziceni are a young team who became the national Champions after only three years spent in domestic first league. What is more, they managed to enter the main stage of Champions League after only the same period of time which is the historic success for this club.

In the opening round’s derby in Spain, Sevilla lost to Valencia away 2:0. New-old Primera outfit, Zaragoza managed to snap a minimal win over their Secunda rival in the last season, Tenerife.

The real derby of the opening round in Spanish Primera will take place at Mestalla, where Valencia will host Sevilla. Los Che played with oscillations in the last season and thanks to poor run of results in the finish of the season, they were left without a place in the Champions League. On the other hand, after a poor start Sevilla managed to get hold of the third place and a place in the Champions League.

Instead of competition being held in Korea, as it was planned in the first place, the bad weather and time zone, the competition was moved to Europe, to Spain. The hosts will have two of their representatives, Real Madrid and Sevilla that will play in front of their fans, while the rest of the matches will be played at Malaga, Kserez and Huelva stadiums.

This will be another game without importance and which is only a formality. Numancia are already a second flighters, while Seville have secured their third seat and will be without motives in this clash.
