Athletic Bilbao vs Osasuna Match Preview

Athletic Bilbao will host Osasuna in this La Liga football game, Round 16. 

Athletic Bilbao is in seventh place having collected 25 points. Bilbao has won once out of the last two games played and that win was in Copa del Rey against a small side. 

Bilbao will be without I Martinez as he has a foot injury but other than that they are all good. The top scorers in the league for Bilbao are Guruzeta and Williams who have scored five league goals each.

Osasuna is two places behind Bilbao, in ninth position, and they have collected a total of 23 points. Osasuna has lost just twice out of the last ten games played and just once out of the last seven games. Osasuna has not finished outside the top 11 in the last three seasons. 

Osasuna will be without Vidal as he is injured and will be out due to suspension. Chimy Avila, the striker for Osasuna has been very good this season as he is their top scorer with six league goals. 

Out of the last five head-to-head meetings between these sides, two games were won by Bilbao, two by Osasuna, and one game ended in a draw. My prediction for the game is Osasuna to either win or draw. The odds for the visitors to cover the asian handicap +0.5 look pretty good.
