Osasuna, Recent FormOsasuna have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-0 away win against Celta Vigo in their previous league match. During that encounter they had 47% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 11 shots on goal.
Manager Jagoba Arrasate will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They have had an excellent run of form at The Estadio El Sadar recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
Ante Budimir will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at The Estadio El Sadar, having notched up 6 goals for Osasuna in their last 6 league matches at home.
Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormAthletic Bilbao will not be too troubled by their 2-0 home defeat against Real Madrid, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They came away from that fixture with a 46% share of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Real Madrid, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target.
Supremo Ernesto Valverde will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 4 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 10 games overall.
Results have been poor for Athletic recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
On an individual basis, Oihan Sancet will be looking to cause Osasuna some problems having scored 2 goals in Athletic Bilbao's last 6 away games in the league.
It was not a positive ending for Athletic Bilbao last time they met Osasuna in the league, with the game ending in a 2-0 defeat.
The Lehoiak defence has struggled at The Estadio El Sadar, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, Lehoiak have been unable to break through Osasuna's defence and find the back of the net.
Athletic player Oihan Sancet has scored 3 times in the previous 3 matches against Osasuna away at The Estadio El Sadar in the league and will be looking for more of the same in this match.
There is only really one injury concern for the Osasuna manager Jagoba Arrasate ahead of this clash, with Darko Brašanac (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Arrasate a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Athletic manager Ernesto Valverde has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
