Athletic Bilbao vs Osasuna prediction, H2H and probable lineups — March 30, 2025
As part of the 29th round of the Spanish La Liga, a match will take place between Athletic and Osasuna. The encounter will be held in Bilbao on Sunday, March 30. The game is scheduled to start at 18:30 Central European Time. I propose a bet on the winner of this game.
Match Preview
The Basques are having an excellent season, and thanks to their leaders, the Williams brothers, they could return to the Champions League for the first time in 10 years. Athletic finished fifth last season and has achieved certain success in European competitions this campaign, already reaching the quarter-finals.
In La Liga, the team confidently holds the fourth position. Frankly speaking, there are no chances to fight for more, but maintaining a solid gap from Villarreal should be feasible.
Osasuna is having a typical season, hovering in the middle of the table. The team cannot be considered a contender for European competitions, but finishing far from the relegation zone is quite within their reach.
Notably, the club from Pamplona is the most amicable club in the league, having drawn 12 times. Midweek, the team lost to Barcelona without a chance and remained in 14th position.

H2H
In the last 18 years, Osasuna has only won once in Bilbao in La Liga.
Prediction
Athletic looks really strong at home, so it will be difficult for the visitors to expect a positive result. I believe the Basques are capable of securing three points, which will be my bet.
