Osasuna vs Athletic Club Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 3rd January 2026

Both Osasuna and Athletic Club are currently enjoying the comforts of mid-table in the LaLiga. Both teams will be eager to make a push for an even stronger position, when going toe-to-toe this coming Saturday.

Osasuna are number 12 in the table on 18 points after 17 matches. Athletic Club rank as number 8 with 23 points after 18 matches played.

Three points for Osasuna could go a long way in their quest to reach the top half of the LaLiga table. As difficult task awaits, though, as Athletic Club won't go down without a fight.

Osasuna go into their next LaLiga match, scoring a humble average of 1.2 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 12 times, while conceding 13. That amounts to an average of 1.3 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Athletic Club are currently not the most scoring team in the LaLiga, as they only found the back of the net seven times in ten matches. This is an average of just 0.7 goals a game in which they conceded 15 times, an average of 1.5 per game. They managed four clean sheets in these.

Betting on the draw would have earned you a sound profit the last time Osasuna played Athletic Club. The pair finished even in a 0-0 match, where no one managed to get the upper hand.

Osasuna vs Athletic Club Prediction

Osasuna Form

In their last three matches, Osasuna lost 2-0 against Barcelona, drew 1-1 against SD Huesca, before winning 3-0 against Deportivo Alaves. Osasuna won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the LaLiga, while also drawing one. They suffered two defeats, while they scored 11 and conceded eight goals.

Osasuna had their sights set on the LaLiga title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

Athletic Club Form

Athletic Club recorded a single draw in their previous three games, and they claimed it in a 0-0 match against Paris Saint-Germain. Then Celta Vigo proved too strong in a 2-0 defeat, just like Espanyol who won 1-2. Athletic Club managed to win just once in their past six away games in the LaLiga. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring ten time and letting in four.

Athletic Club were spoken of as contenders for a title, but current form has them running a little behind in the LaLiga.

Form is not impressive for Athletic Club, but we don't quite trust Osasuna enough to jump at the home win without backing it with a draw. Those finding the price with the bookmakers a bit too low, might choose the draw-no-bet solution in stead.

Osasuna claimed five wins, three draws as well as nine defeats in the LaLiga this season. Athletic Club enjoy a record of seven wins, two draws and nine defeats in the LaLiga.
