Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao Verdict: Host prevails
Osasuna surprised many fans by going all the way to the semi-finals of the 2022/23 King's Cup. In this round, their opponent is Athletic Bilbao. For many fans, this is a very encouraging result when they have subdued Real Betis or Sevilla in the last rounds.
Back to the semi-final first leg tonight, Arrasate's teachers and students are the psychologically dominant team thanks to playing at home El Sadar. Notably, they have been in good form when they just defeated Sevilla in the Spanish league series last weekend.
On the other side of the field, Athletic Bilbao made many fans wary of having a fluctuating performance when they lost the last 2 matches in a row. More broadly, the Basque porcelain team did not win the last 6/10 matches in all competitions attended.
