Athletic Bilbao will go up against Osasuna on Wednesday for a Copa del Rey meeting.

Osasuna arrive at their next Copa del Rey match, averaging a fabulous 2.9 goals per game in their last ten matches in which, they scored a delicious total of 29, while also conceding 15 goals. That amounts to an average of 1.5 per game in which, they kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Athletic Bilbao travel to their next away match this coming Wednesday having performed a tolerable average of two goals in ten matches. They scored a total of 20 goals, whilst shipping six goals against. An average of 0.6 goals against a game. They hung on to five clean sheets in this streak.

The last time the pair played each other Athletic Bilbao came away as 2-0 winners, and rest assured they have a similar outcome in mind on Wednesday.

Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction

Osasuna Form

Osasuna delivered a bit of everything as their last three matches added four points to their tally. An encounter with Real Valladolid brought a 0-0 draw, which was followed by a 0-2 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid. Their most recent game had them back on the winning trail, as they beat Sevilla by 2-3. Osasuna claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Copa del Rey. They also drew zero and lost three, as they scored eight and conceded ten goals.

In their last three matches, Athletic Bilbao won 1-2 win against Valencia, lost 1-0 against Atletico Madrid and lost 2-3 against Girona.
