Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
After surviving Getafe in the suburbs of Madrid, Athletic Club will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Osasuna on Matchday 35. The Lions did well to put an end to their four-game losing run at the weekend and a win over Osasuna will see them keep their Champions League hopes alive. Both Yeray Alvarez and Antonio Paredes are banned for the match, while all Yuri Berchiche, Daniel Vivian, Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta, and Oihan Sancet remain in the recovery room.
Los Rojillos, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team extending their losing run to four games at Granada. As Osasuna have nothing to play for in the season finale, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Jon Moncayola is sidelined through suspension, while head coach Jagoba Arrasate will watch the game from the stands following his sending-off against los Azulones.
Highlighted Player (Iñaki Williams):
Inaki Williams is one of the most talented Spanish players. The pacey winger, who plays as a centre-forward as well, started his senior career at Basconia, scoring seven goals in 18 appearances for the club. In 2014 he moved to Athletic Bilbao, but he played for the reserve team at the beginning.
Inaki impressed in the 2014/2015 season with Athletic Bilbao B and, as a result, he was given a chance to prove his worth in the Spanish top flight with the first team. The Spanish footballer made his La liga debut on December 6, 2014, replacing injured attacker Aritz Aduriz in a 1-0 loss to Cordoba.
Inaki Williams represented Spain at the 2017 U21 European Championship in Poland and he played 20 minutes in a 1-0 loss to Germany in the final of the tournament. Speaking of the senior squad, the Athletic Bilbao footballer made his Spain debut in a 3-1 victory over Bosnia on May 29, 2016. Inaki Williams was born in Bilbao on June 15, 1994.
Highlighted Team (Osasuna):
Osasuna are a Basque football team that plays in Spanish La Liga. Los Rojillos are based in Pamplona and and the club were founded in 1920. Estadio El Sadar has been the home of Osasuna since 1967 and the capacity of the stadium is 19,800.
The colour of Osasuna’s home kit is red, while the team’s shorts are navy blue. Los Rojillos dropped to the Segunda Division at the end of the 2013/2014 La Liga campaign, but they did not spend too many time in the Spanish second tier. The club returned to the elite division in 2016 after beating Girona in the play-offs.
Osasuna made it to the Spanish Copa del Rey final in 2005, but they eventually lost to Real Betis after extra time in the title game. The meaning of the word Osasuna is “health” in Basque and it is used in a sense of strength.
