After the end of the Mundial, Athletic played three official matches, knocked out the clubs Sestão and Eldense in the Spanish Cup, and also drew 0:0 with Betis Sevilla. Before the start of Sunday's pool of matches, the Basques were in sixth position in the standings of La Liga, with 25 points, two points less than Atletico, located in the Champions League competitions. It should be noted that Villarreal, which also has 27 points, won its match against Madrid with a score of 2:1. And Atlético has a challenging game in the reporting round against the leader of the championship, Barcelona. Athletic's home statistics are fourth in the division, +5=1-2, 12:4 goal difference, better numbers only from Betis and the two leaders.
Osasuna
Pamplona, just like the Basques, played three official matches this season, knocked out Arnedo and Himnastic in the Spanish Cup and La Liga, and lost to Real Sociedad with the score of 0:2. Osasuna was ninth in the Spanish league table before the start of Sunday's pool with 23 points, two points less than Athletic. The Pamplona side is still in the pool of teams fighting for a place in the European competitions. Osasuna's away statistics are 12th in the division, +2=2-3, 5:8 goal difference in seven games.
Expert Betting Tips
Atletico has one of the best home statistics in the division. If Atletico loses on Sunday at home to Barcelona, a victory over the Pamplona players will give the Basques a place in the Champions League competitions. In turn, Osasuna, in the last round, without a chance, lost to Real Sociedad on the road, another representative of the Basque Country. Well, we shouldn't forget that Athletic beat Osasuna twice last season with a score of 5:1, which means that the Pamplona side can be called a comfortable opponent for Athletic. We think the home team has an excellent chance to pick up three points after the match against Osasuna. That said, we doubt the final game of Week 16 of La Liga will be a goal-scoring affair. We do not forget that Osasuna is the low-scoring team on the road, and Athletic has a four-match home winning streak.
