Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao prediction
Following the return of Jago Arrasate, having sacked the struggling Luis Miguel Ramis, Osasuna defeated Racing Santander a few weeks ago but they now head into this one on the back of a 2-0 loss to Sevilla and then a 2-1 defeat to a Deportivo La Coruna side that they had led mid-way through the second half.
Former Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic is striving for consistency at Athletic Club as the Basque giants attempt to become more energetic and intense. They earned themselves a 2-1 defeat of arch-rivals Real Sociedad at San Mames in the Basque derby last weekend.
That victory for Athletic means that they have lost just one of their last nine matches across all competitions since beginning with back-to-back defeats and they should perhaps be sided with at El Sadar.
Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao tip: Double chance – Athletic Bilbao to win or draw
