Both teams having a great season. At Bilbao it was wise to change coach to Valverde as now they have the most fast an attacking side of Bilbao history, and at Osasuna it was also wisdom to stay with Arrasate and also with mostly unchanged team as they are well yielded together by now.

The changes are also the main reason for today's pick, as Osauna miss 3 of their regular defenders today due injuries and suspension!

In the actual table Bilbao would climb up back to 3-4th position which is where they belong also at performance data xG, Osasuna are 9th, would overtake Bilbao with a win, so there has not been much difference result-wise so far.

Osasuna however are overperforming a bit their performances, and should not be quite this high.

How have they played so far?

Bilbao at home are always tough to beat and they have perhaps leagues strongest home advantage in public support. This season they have taken 16 points from 8 games, with a +8 goal difference. The two home losses are narrow ones v Espanyol and Atletico. In both of those lost games they still were the clearly better side, and for example they won shots by 13-3 v Atletico and the xG by more than one goal.

Osasuna away are 2-2-3 with a 5-8 goal difference so it has not gone superbly, the wins are from Almeria and then very undeservedly at Celta Vigo. However they were badly outplayed by both Villarreal and Sociedad, both 2-0 losses clearly and deservedly, and with a shaky makeshift defense tonight it is also the likeliest outcome.

The key position to watch tonight is at Osasuna right back where either midfielder Moncayola or a kid from reserves will try to stop the fast Williams brothers, and you know what friends? It is not going to be a successful experiment.

Good luck!

两支球队都有一个伟大的赛季。在毕尔巴鄂，把教练换成巴尔韦德是明智的，因为他们现在拥有毕尔巴鄂历史上进攻速度最快的球队。在奥萨苏纳，留下阿拉萨特也是明智的，他们现在已经很好地团结在一起了。

这些变化也是今天被选中的主要原因，因为奥萨纳今天因为伤病和停赛错过了3名常规后卫!

在实际的积分榜上，毕尔巴鄂将爬回第3-4的位置，这也是他们的表现数据xG的位置，奥萨苏纳是第9位，如果赢了比赛就会超过毕尔巴鄂，所以到目前为止，结果没有太大的差异。

然而奥萨苏纳的表现有点过头了，不应该这么高。

到目前为止他们打得怎么样?

毕尔巴鄂在主场总是很难被击败，他们在公众的支持下可能是联赛最强的主场优势。本赛季他们在8场比赛中拿到16分，净胜球+8。两场主场失利都是对西班牙人和马竞的险胜。在这两场失败的比赛中，他们仍然是明显更好的一方，例如他们以13-3的比分赢了马竞，xG赢了不止一个球。

奥萨苏纳客场战绩为2-2-3，净胜球5-8，所以比赛进行得并不顺利，两场胜利来自阿尔梅里亚，然后是非常不应得的维戈塞尔塔。然而，他们在比利亚雷亚尔和社会面前惨败，都以0比2输掉了比赛，而且今晚的临时防守很不稳定，这也是最有可能的结果。

今晚最值得关注的位置是奥萨苏纳的右后卫，无论是中场蒙卡约拉还是预备队的孩子，都将试图阻止速度很快的威廉姆斯兄弟，你知道什么朋友吗?这不会是一个成功的实验。

好运！
