La Liga
Athletic Bilbao is 11th, five points away from the European zone at the moment. In the last round, they lost 1:2 at home to Villarreal. Thus, they have five losses in their last six matches across all competitions. The exception was a home win against Betis with 2:1. Bilbao has been alternating wins and losses at home lately. It would be good to win now if they want to keep their chances for European tournaments, although they have not kept a clean sheet in their last nine home games in all competitions.
Osasuna can also still fight for a place in the tournaments. They have one point more than Athletic at this stage. They have lost only two of their last 12 matches. Those two losses were away, and Osasuna remains one of the weaker away teams and hadn't won away in La Liga for a long time. In their last visit, they were still close to victory, but ended up drawing 2:2 with Alaves.
Prediction: both teams to score, victory for AthleticAthletic is not particularly stable defensively, and I wouldn't be surprised if they concede a goal again, but still, if I had to choose a winner, I would go with the hosts.
