Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Spanish Laliga on Saturday, 19 August 2023.
Athletic Bilbao had a losing start to this season. But it wasn’t that dreadful as expected as the team conceded a 0-2 defeat against Real Madrid at home
They will play host to Osasuna on Saturday. Going on, Osasuna had a solid start to this season sealing a 0-2 win over Celta Vigo.
Athletic Bilbao was unbeaten in five of the last seven head to head clashes against Osasuna. Their latest meeting ended in a 2-0 win for Osasuna.
Bilbao won three of the last six meetings against Osasuna at this stadium. Three of the last four meeting at this venue had goals under 2.5 ft.
Osasuna had a positive run in their pre-season friendlies. However, it is worth noting that their opponents at home were teams like Huesca and Osasuna B. Do also note that they lost their latest outing against Alaves at home.
Meanwhile, Bilbao have managed to record a set of unbeaten outcomes despite of facing strong outfits. Their latest friendly away match was against Man United which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Moreover, Athletic Bilbao have an upper hand in the recent history of this match-up. Thus, we expect a win for them on Saturday.
We don’t expect a goal-fest as neither of these two sides have been successful in scoring goals over the rate of 2 offensively. Moreover, six of the last seven road trips of Bilbao were low-scoring. In that case, we don’t expect goals over 2.5 here.
Since we expect a low-scoring match and a win for Bilbao, goals are unlikely to land from both ends. On top of that four of the last five clashes between these two was one-sided match-ups.
Athletic Bilbao will head into this fixture following a decent on the road form. On top of that, they have an upper hand in the recent tradition of this match-up.
Therefore, we expect a win for Bilbao on Saturday. While placing it as the main betting tip at 2.65 odds, we like to back the under 2.5 goals bet at 1.57 odds unlike their h2h tradition which often has high-scoring matches.
