Athletic Bilbao vs Osasuna Prediction and Betting Tips | 9th January 2023

The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this week as Osasuna lock horns with Ernesto Valverde's Athletic Bilbao side at the San Mames on Monday.

Athletic Bilbao vs Osasuna Preview

Athletic Bilbao are currently in sixth place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Basque giants eased past Eldense by a 6-1 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

Osasuna, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent over the past year. The Pamplona-based outfit slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Real Sociedad last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.

🔴⚪️ Everything is better together.

Osasuna can pack a punch on their day but do not have a particularly impressive record at the San Mames. Athletic Bilbao are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
