Osasuna - Athletic Bilbao betting tips and odds

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Osasuna on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

No outcome of this match would catch us by surprise. It’s a rarely fair matchup, though that’s not always good for betting. Currently, though, Athletic Bilbao are somewhat more likely to triumph with betting odds of 2.45 on them winning.

Osasuna’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Atlético Madrid as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 3:0 loss for Osasuna.

Team from Bilbao walked away with a 2:1 home win after their previous home game against Celta de Vigo. They were considered favourites going in, however, so it’s hard to take that match as an example of their current form.

Whenever met on their home pitch, the hosts tend to perform at a high level. They scored more than 5 times in their latest 3 home games alone, marking this match as interesting for BTTS and Over 5 Goals markets.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over The Lions’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

As we approach the end of the La Liga season, the hosts sit outside of European places with 44 points to their name. Hope remains they will at least be able to make it into the Europa League but winning much-needed points against The Lions is going to be difficult. The hosts are priced at 3.10 to win and this speaks volumes about their chances in the Wednesday clash.

The most recent result from these two teams recorded is from earlier in the season when the teams clashed. It ended in a draw, which is worse news for Athletic because they are largely considered the stronger team.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Nacho Vidal, Darko Brašanac, Moi Gómez, Abde Ezzalzouli are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Íñigo Martínez, Yeray, Jon Morcillo will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour The Lions, though.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.40 with Betsson, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
