Osasuna hosts Athletic Bilbao in round 19 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, January 3rd at Estadio El Sadar (Pamplona)
Under Jagoba Arrasate, Osasuna was able to return to LaLiga and became one of the middle peasants here. The Pamplonians have no particularly ambitious plans. So far, it is enough for them to stay above the relegation zone. And the margin is usually quite confident. In the current season, Osasuna managed to score 22 points in 18 matches. On the other hand, the club has not won since mid-autumn, namely, since October 17. After a 2-1 victory over Villarreal, nine rounds of the championship have already been played. The Reds gained five draws and four defeats. At the same time, they managed to share the points with Real Madrid (0-0 away) and Barcelona (2-2 at home). However, just before Christmas, Osasuna lost to Getafe (1-0). But perhaps the Reds simply lacked motivation.

Athletic Bilbao left a rather controversial impression with their performance in the 1st round. On the one hand, the results are not so bad: the team gained five victories, and the goal difference is even positive (17-16). The Lions earned 24 points in 19 games, which allow them to stay in the top ten of the tournament standings. There was a streak of eight rounds without victories, but on December 19, Athletic Bilbao managed to beat Betis. Then the ambitious club lost to Real Madrid at home (1-2). On the other hand, the fans did not expect that the Basques would be exactly at the equator of the standings. Moreover, Marcelino started his work in Bilbao by winning the Spanish Super Cup.
After returning from Segunda, Osasuna exchanged away victories with Athletic Bilbao. In the previous season, the Pamplonians won at home and managed to pull out a draw in the 89th minute of the away match (2-2). Now bookmakers consider the odds to be fairly equal. Both teams will try to compete for points, so we bet on Over 2.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
