Osasuna, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Osasuna supremo Jagoba Arrasate after sustaining a heavy 3-0 away loss to Atlético Madrid. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Atlético Madrid, who had 15 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It's fair to say that Arrasate will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 3 games and only kept 1 clean sheet.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Osasuna recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Osasuna, Ante Budimir will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormAthletic Bilbao will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against Celta Vigo. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Celta Vigo's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Nico Williams has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Osasuna.
