Ath Bilbao vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting Tips (16 January)

Title holders of this prestigious Copa del Rey, Athletic Bilbao returned home with heavy socks from their trip to Saudi Arabia following their exit in the semi-final of the Supercopa against the future winner of the edition, FC Barcelona 0-2. Bilbao may harbor regrets given the content of its rather encouraging game but without ever succeeding in achieving results. Furthermore, it was their first defeat since October 6 in all competitions, leaving a series of 15 matches vacant. However, it will not be necessary to rummage for too long since this evening, at home, it is their competition which is at stake. The Lions took out Lugronones D4 with difficulty in the previous round by going to the penalty shootout.

In La Liga, Athletic asserts itself in the top 4 with the best while in C3, it shines by being runner-up to Lazio after 6 days. Opposite, we find Bilbao's winner two years ago, Osasuna, who lost in the final of this competition against Benzema's Real Madrid who was playing his last year with the Merengue. While Bilbao has just recorded its first defeat in weeks in the Supercopa, the Rojillos are in bad shape since their heavy defeat at the Bernabéu against Real Madrid at the beginning of November 4-0, since since then they have had 6 matches without success in La Liga including a defeat last weekend on the pitch of Atlético Madrid 1-0. In the Copa del Rey, Osasuna struggled to overcome a very poorly ranked D2 Tenerife with a 1-2 victory.
