The 2023-24 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Osasuna take on Ernesto Valverde's Athletic Bilbao side at the San Mames on Sunday. Osasuna are in 13th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best this season.

The away side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Real Betis last week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table and have been impressive over the past year. The Basque giants eased past Getafe by a 2-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
