Athletic Bilbao - Osasuna predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Osasuna may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of Athletic Bilbao and the 7.15 odds given to Osasuna to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

The odds of 2.65 did not exactly see Athletic as favourites to win their last away game in the La Liga. However, the hosts rose to the occasion and recorded a narrow Sevilla victory after a stalemate in the first half.

Although Osasuna’s defeat in the previous round was a fairly painful 3:0, we can’t say that it was unexpected. They were vastly outmatched by their opponents Barcelona, who spent the entire match ahead.

The Lions are a force to be reckoned with when met on their home turf, which is the case here. They currently have a trend going on with more than 5 goals scored over the last 3 home games, and they’ll certainly be looking to continue it.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent La Liga outings.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday.

A Home Win bet is the obvious answer here, especially at the odds of 1.53. While the returns won’t be as great, the bet is as safe as they come.
