For the Osasuna vs Athletic Club prediction, we say both teams to score and this is why. Although Osasuna kept a clean sheet against Celta Vigo last time out, the likelihood of them getting two clean sheet on a bounce is slim, giving the quality of players across Athletic Club’s attacking line. Some would say they were unlucky not to score against Real Madrid last weekend. The last time both teams met, they drew 1-1 in Copa del Rey.
We predict Osasuna vs Athletic Club to end in a draw and this is why. Two of their last four encounters ended in draws. And both teams rarely scored goals in each of their last four games. As a result, we have backed this clash to end in a draw. Another valuable tip for this clash is under 2.5 goals as their last four meetings finished with under 2.5 goals.
Osasuna got off to a winning start in their new campaign following a comfortable 2-0 win over Celta Vigo away from home. They were winless in LaLiga last season against Athletic Club and their bright start to the season could give them the sufficient morale to end their unsatisfying record against The Lions this weekend.
Athletic Club got off to a wrong start in their new season and it’s understandable, following their 2-0 home defeat to Real Madrid, who finished 2nd in LaLiga last season. The Lions will look to get their first win of the new campaign when they play visitors against a side they went unbeaten against last season.
Predicted starting lineups
Osasuna: Herrera, Mojica, David Garcia, Catena, Pena, Oroz, Torro, Gomez, Budimir, Garcia
Athletic Club: Simon, Marcos, Vivian, Paredes, Lekue, Vesga, Galarreta, Williams, Etxebarria, Munian, Williams
