Athletic Bilbao hosts Osasuna in round 35 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, May 8th at Estadio San Mamés (Bilbao)
Athletic Bilbao managed to get over after two defeats in the finals of the Spanish Cup from Real Sociedad (0-1) and Barcelona (0-4). After the defeat to the Catalans, the Basques never lost in the next four matches. Moreover, the team of Marcelino Garcia Toral directly influences the champion’s race. In the 32nd round, Athletic Bilbao beat Atletico Madrid at home (2-1), and the 34th round ended in an away victory over Sevilla (0-1). A distinctive feature of the Lions in recent matches is goals scored in the second half. Only one of the last five meetings ended with a goal scored in the first half. And if the Lions managed to put the squeeze on Sevilla and Atlético, scoring the winning goals after the 80th minute, then the advantage in the match against Valladolid was lost in the very ending (2-2).

Osasuna lost to Barcelona in the 26th round (0-2), but after that the Reds achieved an impressive streak of seven matches without defeats. Four of them ended in a draw, and the next three brought victories. But any streak ends at some time, and the team from Pamplona lost the last two matches. Interestingly, Osasuna never conceded a goal during the streak of draws. But then the team managed to keep a clean sheet in only one of the last five games. At the same time, we will note that the Reds have never conceded more than two goals in the last 10 matches.
None of these teams have dominated in recent head-to-head meetings. Osasuna and Athletic Bilbao won two victories each, and one game ended in a draw. Interestingly, both teams scored in three out of five matches, but only one team upset the opponent in two consecutive games. The production also became lower. At least two goals were scored in three matches, but the last two games ended with only one goal scored. Athletic Bilbao have conceded in eight of their last ten home games, but only two opponents scored more than once at Estadio San Mames. Osasuna players have scored in six of their last ten away games, but they have scored more than one goal only once. We will assume that the hosts have a chance to keep a clean sheet.
Prediction for the match: Osasuna to score under 0.75 goals
