On May 25, Estadio El Sadar (Pamplona) will host the match of the 36th round of the La Liga, in which Osasuna will compete with Athletic. The battle will start at 19:30 CET.

Osasuna

The team has focused on the Copa del Rey this season. There, by the way, it competed with Athletic at the semi-final stage. And, having exchanged minimal home victories, the team overcame “the Basques” in extra time. The higher mentioned result gave an opportunity to reach the final and to repeat the only historical achievement. Still, the team didn’t succeed there, although Real Madrid was given a fight – the opponent, scoring a goal in the 70th minute of the game, took the victory with a 2-1 result. The trophy and the ticket to the European competitions were lost. At the same time, due to the load in the Cope del Rey, “the Reds” slowed down in the Primera, although they were quite stable among the contenders for the European tournaments in the first lap. It is noteworthy that after losing the cup final, they won in the Primera, beating Almeria with a 3-1 score. Then there was a battle against Atlético, which clearly wants to finish higher than Real, and that confrontation brought a defeat to Arrasate’s wards – 3-0.

Athletic

The club has already played under the rule of Valverde. And it is not for nothing that Ernesto moved from Bilbao to Barcelona. Still, the experience does not help “the Ant” to stabilize the game of old-new wards. This season is characterized by a lot of good matches and even segments, but the team can be left without serious achievements in the very end. Speaking about the Copa del Rey, as it has been mentioned, it bounced back after an away 0-1 failure in the return semi-final, but the decisive goal was still conceded at the home arena. There was a segment when, after the wins at the start, Athletic was even considered as a potential contender for the Champions League. Still, it wasn’t able to play at this level for a long time, and the team had a weak segment from the end of April: there were a number of defeats and a draw, reached by means of the penalty at the end of the match with Mallorca. Having beaten Celta with a 2-1 score, it used the misfires of the competitors and got back to the 7th position.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

There was a goalless draw in the championship. Speaking about the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, the opponents exchanged victories with the same result, 1-0, in regular time. Still, the decisive goal was scored in overtime by Osasuna.
