Athletic Club vs Osasuna

Athletic Bilbao aims to win their second La Liga match straight and play Osasuna at home on Sunday evening.

The La Liga standings position Athletic Bilbao at fourth place whereas Villarreal resides fifth while Osasuna remains fourteen positions above relegation danger before the season finale.

Athletic concluded their 28 matches with outstanding performance securing fourth place in the league standings as they earned 52 points through 14 wins and 10 ties and 4 losses.

The Lions sit in an exceptional position to earn a spot in next season's Champions League as fans view them as major Europa League winners this season before they face Rangers in their quarter-final confrontation.

Athletic Club claimed a 1-0 victory against Sevilla before March yet their season began with an impressive 23 points taken during away matches.

The home fans of Athletic are delighted to see their team produce 29 points while suffering only one defeat from fourteen matches and this weekend they hope to achieve their ninth league triumph at San Mames.

The fifth-place finish from the last season marks a long drought in reaching the top four of 2013-14 since the time of the Lions' formation in La Liga. Achieving a top-four spot this term would represent an impressive success for them.

Before the international break Vicente Moreno's team suffered a 2-1 defeat at home against Getafe after which they have not recorded any more La Liga victories since February until their recent 2-1 win over Real Sociedad in their own ground.

Osasuna, meanwhile, returned to action on Thursday evening, playing a rescheduled match against Barcelona, and suffered a 3-0 defeat to the league leaders.
Los Rojillos have never placed lower than 11th in La Liga since being demoted at the end of the 2016-17 season, but they are presently 14th in the division, only six points above the relegation zone.

However, Moreno's club is just three points behind 10th-placed Sevilla, so the situation might change rapidly, but this will be the second of two difficult road games in a row.
