The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this week as Osasuna lock horns with Ernesto Valverde's Athletic Bilbao side at the San Mames on Monday.

Athletic Bilbao are currently in 7th place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Basque giants eased past Eldense by a 6-1 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week. On the attack, Athletic Bilbao have been very impressive this season as they have found the back of the net a total of 24 times, making them the 3rd best attack in the league. At the back, they have also been very impressive as they have only conceded 14 goals all season, making them the 4th best defense in the league. So far, Athletic Bilbao have shown that they have what it takes to tear open opposition defense and grab a game by the scruff of the neck and they will be looking to dominate this fixture.

Osasuna on the other head will head into this game following an inconsistent run of performances. They are currently on a 2-game losing streak and that will be a cause for concern going into this game. So far this season, Osasuna have been generally poor, both in attack and defense as they have only scored 16 goals and have conceded just as many at the back. Going into this game, the visitors will not be very confident of their chances.

Looking at the records have shown that Athletic Bilbao have the upper hand in this fixture. Athletic Bilbao have a good record against Osasuna and have won 19 out of the last 40 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Osasuna's 11 victories. Additionally, Athletic Bilbao are currently on a 3 game unbeaten run against their visitors and are also on a 2 game winning streak against them, scoring 7 goals in that time period. We are backing Athletic Bilbao here as we expect them to dominate the game and secure a victory by the end of this game.
