THE PREDICTION
Depending on who you ask, this match could be viewed as a Basque derby - although quite a few Osasuna fans won’t like that tag. Regardless, it is an evenly matched encounter between two of Spain’s middle-of-the-table sides. Osasuna have been exceptional on the road this season but their conservative and stubborn approach has failed to consistently be enough for points at home, whereas Marcelino’s Athletic have stagnated this season after he took charge in January 2021. The former Valencia manager has created a side with the ability to be elite in attack - but that is far too often a rarity - and stodginess often takes over. A low-scoring draw would appear a likely outcome for this one.
