Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao Lineups, Prediction, Betting Picks & Odds

Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao Game Preview

Osasuna host Athletic Bilbao at El Sadar on Saturday in a Spanish Primera Division matchup that pits a sliding home side against a visiting team with real momentum.

Osasuna sit 15th in the standings, and with Aimar Oroz sidelined, nearly everything runs through Ante Budimir, the center forward leading the line in Pamplona.

Edin Terzić's Athletic are the favorites, and the market agrees. DraftKings has the visitors at +110 (DraftKings) on the moneyline, the shortest price on the board.

Recent history points to a cagey game. Osasuna have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 4 games against Athletic Club in all competitions.

Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao Recent Results

Osasuna are in a genuine slump. They have dropped three of their last four league outings, Monday's loss at Deportivo included, and that one stung because Ante Budimir had put them ahead. The striker is the lone bright spot, scoring in 4 of his last 5 LaLiga appearances. Everyone around him has to give him more.

Athletic arrive in far better shape, winning back-to-back league games and scoring six goals in that stretch. Last weekend's 2-1 Basque derby win over Real Sociedad came through Iñaki Williams and Álex Berenguer, and that attacking pair is the reason this team sits in the top half of the standings.

Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao Talking Points

The battle on the flanks decides this one. Osasuna love to play with width and cross often, and Edin Terzić has already flagged their physical intensity and wide deliveries as the threat to handle in what he expects to be a derby full of emotions. That matters, because defending attacks down the wings is a soft spot for Athletic. Jagoba Arrasate wants his side feeding off El Sadar while staying alert to Athletic's vertical transitions. The visitors are unbeaten in their last five LaLiga meetings with Osasuna, which is why the Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao betting odds lean their way.
