Osasuna and Los Leones to share the points at El Sadar
Saturday's clash between Osasuna and Athletic Bilbao could be an interesting affair at Estadio El Sadar. The hosts, who are in compact, direct gear, will be looking to counter-attack their visitors, who play a more possession-based and flexible game. Athletic are the slight favourites at 6/5, with Osasuna at 43/20 and the draw at 12/5.
Jagoba Arrasate's men play in a 4-4-2 shape and will be very direct, using their numerical superiority to pressure the ball and win second balls. Ante Budimir has been their best outlet in attack, scoring five goals in seven LaLiga 2026/2027 games, but Raul Garcia has also been on fire, finding the back of the net four times in their last five, which have seen them score 11 goals. This is a gritty side that is capable of getting the job done the ugly way and they sit 14th in the table with 11 points from 10 matches.
Edin Terzić has done a great job getting Los Leones to play a structured possession game with wide rotations, bursts of high press and a real clinical edge. They have won back-to-back matches and are coming off an impressive 6-1 victory away at AE Prat in the cup, but Robert Navarro, who has two goals in five LaLiga 2026/2027 games, will have to keep the tempo up to give them a spark in the final third.
Osasuna are averaging 0.80 goals per home game in this campaign and will need to win the ugly one to get a result on Saturday. Athletic Bilbao have won, drawn and lost in their away games this season and we're avoiding the outright markets because of that, but the draw looks the best option in the game result market here as these two sides tend to nullify each other.
Osasuna did not win the last meeting, which ended 1-0 to Athletic Bilbao, and are yet to win the last home game against Los Leones, so we're going for a draw on Saturday. Osasuna have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last five in all competitions, while Athletic Bilbao have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1, so they are in good form and should edge this. Under 2.5 goals is our first pick at 3/4 and both teams to score at 4/5 also looks too good to refuse.
