- Osasuna have won two, drawn two and lost one of their five home games in LaLiga 2026/2027. Athletic Bilbao have won one, drawn one and lost two of their four away fixtures in LaLiga 2026/2027. Athletic Bilbao have scored an average of 0.75 goals per away game in LaLiga 2026/2027 and conceded an average of 1.25 per away league match-up in the current campaign.
Osasuna and Athletic Bilbao in a tight tussle at El Sadar
Osasuna are 14th in the LaLiga 2026/2027 standings with 11 points from 10 games while Athletic Bilbao are 8th with 12 points from nine so this game is pretty even on league position. The Rojillos are a compact, direct team with a 4-4-2 shape, vertical breaks and an aggressive press that puts pressure on opponents in the second ball. Athletic Bilbao are more structured, possession-based and flexible under Edin Terzić, who has got his players to string together back-to-back wins in the last few weeks.
Los Leones were looking wobbly after a 3-1 away defeat to Levante, but followed that up with a 4-0 win over Getafe in front of their own fans and a 6-1 thrashing of AE Prat away from home in the Copa del Rey. So the goals are flowing at the right end for Terzić's side.
Jagoba Arrasate has the Rojillos well set up to be awkward to play against, but it has been Ante Budimir who has emerged as their main threat with five goals in seven LaLiga 2026/2027 appearances. Raul Garcia has also been on a roll with four goals in the past five matches, which have seen Osasuna rack up 11 goals overall. Osasuna have won their past two matches, beating Racing Santander 2-0 at home and Atletico Calatayud 6-0 away, but a 2-0 away loss to Sevilla FC was the previous game and there is still some way to go in terms of consistency.
Cagey clash between two in-form teams could see visitors edge it
Athletic Bilbao come into this match as slight favourites at 2.2, but Osasuna are well capable of keeping it close and have their own goals in this fixture with a couple of wins from five meetings against Los Leones since their 1-0 home loss in this matchup in the 2025/26 campaign.
A draw could be the most likely outcome to this clash of styles with Osasuna set up to counterpunch and Bilbao looking to control possession and pressure the flanks, but the slight edge goes to the visitors. Osasuna average just 0.80 goals per home game in 2026/27 and will win the ugly games if they can keep it close, but Robert Navarro, who has two goals in five LaLiga 2026/2027 appearances, can provide Bilbao with some spark in the final third and they just have the edge in all areas.
Back Athletic Bilbao to squeeze out the win in what should be a cagey clash at 2.2, although Osasuna will keep it tight and the draw is also a possibility. Under 2.5 goals at 1.75 and both teams to score at 1.8 is another strong play given the visitors have scored an average of 0.75 and conceded 1.25 goals on the road in 2026/27.
