Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction & Betting tips
In the El Sadar in Pamplona is the Saturday afternoon time for the Basque-together between Osasuna and Athletic Bilbao. The home team is as good as relegated, but obviously would like to put its archrival heel.
Osasuna :
Gates Shutter Osasuna is seen. Even the ever-cheerful coach Vasiljevic has already thrown in the towel. “We are almost certainly relegated,” he said after the 2-0 defeat at Real Betis two weeks ago. The Serb was now twelve races in the red shirt on the bench, but did not even win a few times. It is thus only a game away from the negative record of Alvaro Cervera, in the distant past thirteen consecutive failed to win Racing.
That’s obviously not the way you as a coach in the history want to go into. Vasiljevic realizes that just now entering the most difficult period, “Now relegation is almost certain resignation in wait. Without fighting, however, we all doomed. ” Indeed, it will not be easy to keep everyone on their toes, knowing that even a difference will make a victory over fellow countryman Athletic Bilbao. In addition, the Basques also once again have a full infirmary. Include midfielder Roberto Torres, one of the few Osasuna players can join at the highest level, is on the sick list.
Probable lineup Osasuna
Sirigu; Clerc, VUJADINOVIC, Oier, David Garcia, Bunuel; Causic, Raoul Loe, De las Cuevas; Kodro, Sergio Leon
Athletic Bilbao :
Athletic Bilbao has ten contests time to save the season. The Basques were taken by surprise in the Europa League by APOEL and Cypriot knew Copa del Rey does not live up to their reputation as cupfighter. Also in the league wants a provisional seventh place not really rafts red and whites are still not sure of European football. Los Leones as their ticket to the Europa League through the fingers slip would mean an outright mockery, so a win over Osasuna would be very welcome for coach Ernesto Valverde and his men.
The fact that Athletic Bilbao there is so moderate stands mainly to the lack of scoring ability – 35 goals in 28 games is not exactly something to write home about. The Basques have on average a whopping 44.6 goal attempts needed to reach a goal. A ridiculously high number, especially when you compare moyenne direct competitors Espanyol (7.46 shots per goal) and Celta Vigo (9.42 shots per goal). Old hands as Aduriz (nine goals) and Raul Garcia (seven goals) still regularly pick their goals with, but the rest of the team scores hardly. Such Inaki Williams is considered one of the greatest talents in European fields and could even be in the interest of Juventus, but if you manage to score only three times you have to look in the mirror as attacker in 28 appearances.
Probable lineup Athletic Bilbao
Kepa; Balenziaga, Laporte, Yeray, De Marcos; Benat, San Jose; Muniain, Raul Garcia, Lekue; Aduriz
