Match preview

Osasuna have made an uneven start to the season. They have 11 points from 11 games and a goal difference of -11, which leaves them 15th.

They have been far more solid at home than on their travels. At El Sadar they have won two, drawn two and lost one, scoring four and conceding three.

Recent form is mixed. Osasuna lost 2-1 to Deportivo La Coruña on 2 November and 2-0 at Sevilla before that. In between, they thrashed Atletico Calatayud 6-0 in the Copa del Rey.

Before that came a 2-0 home win over Racing Santander and a 5-2 defeat at Real Betis. Away from home the record is poor, with one win and five defeats, seven goals scored and 19 conceded.

Ante Budimir is the main threat with eight goals this season. Osasuna have scored at least twice in three of their last five matches.

Athletic arrive in better shape. They have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five, and are on a three-match winning run: 4-0 against Getafe, 6-1 at Prat in the cup and 2-1 against Real Sociedad on 1 November.

Before that they lost 3-1 at Levante and drew 0-0 at Valencia. On the road they have one win, one draw and two defeats, with three goals scored and five conceded.

Their best football has come at San Mames, where they have won three, drawn two and lost one, scoring 11 and conceding five. Alex Berenguer is their top scorer with four goals.

The recent head-to-head is tight. Athletic won 1-0 on 21 April 2026 and the sides drew 1-1 at El Sadar on 3 January. There was also a 0-0 draw in March 2025, a 3-2 Osasuna win in the Copa del Rey in January 2025 and a 2-1 Athletic victory in December 2024.

Osasuna need points to pull clear of the bottom half. Athletic want to protect their place in the upper reaches of the table.

Team news

Osasuna have several absentees. Aimar Oroz remains out after a setback with his left hamstring and is not expected to feature. Jorge Herrando is also training away from the group, while Romain Del Castillo is a doubt with an adductor problem.

Asier Bonel is listed as available. Jagoba Arrasate has pointed to the international break as the time when several players should return.

Athletic will be without Gorka Guruzeta, who has just undergone surgery on a cruciate ligament injury, and Maroan Sannadi, who has a hamstring problem. Unai Eguiluz is out until January with a ruptured cruciate ligament. Unai Simon is the clear favourite to start in goal. Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta is listed as absent in some previews.

No line-ups have been confirmed yet, and the previews we checked do not fully agree on the starting elevens.
