2026-2027 La Liga: Osasuna vs. Athletic Bilbao, Probable Lineups

Athletic Bilbao visits Osasuna in a match for Matchday 12 of the 2026-2027 La Liga season. The match is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, at 6:30 p.m. at El Sadar Stadium in Pamplona, with the two teams heading into the game with different goals: the hosts are looking to move away from the relegation zone, while the Basques are aiming to earn more points to close in on a European spot.

Osasuna is coming off a 2-1 loss on the road against Deportivo. Jagoba Arrasate’s team had managed to take the lead thanks to the ever-reliable Ante Budimir, but in the second half, they allowed their opponents to stage a comeback. Another disappointing result for the Navarrese side, which continues to struggle to find consistency.

After eleven matchdays, Osasuna sits in fifteenth place with 11 points, just one point above the relegation zone. The coach will once again rely on Budimir as the main attacking threat, with Moro and Dubasin on the wings. Oroz is out due to injury. Things are looking much better for Athletic Bilbao, which secured a 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad in the last round. Goals by Iñaki Williams and Berenguer, both scored in the first half, decided the match.

Edin Terzic’s team is in seventh place with 15 points and is coming off three consecutive wins across league and cup competition. The goal is to maintain this momentum on the road, where they haven’t won since August 30. Sannadi’s injury should pave the way for Iñaki Williams to start as center forward, with Nico Williams, Berenguer, and Navarro playing behind him.

Probable lineups:

OSASUNA (4-3-3): Herrera; Rosier, Catena, Boyomo, Bretones; Gomez, Munoz, Moncayola; Dubasin, Budimir, Moro. Coach: Arrasate.
ATHLETIC BILBAO (4-2-3-1): Simon; Rincon, Vivian, Laporte, Yuri; Canales, Gerenabarrena; Navarro, Berenguer, Nico Williams; Iñaki Williams. Head Coach: Terzic.
