Athletic Bilbao aim to continue the good run of results by beating Osasuna, the team that drew their last three La Liga games.

Hopes were high at San Mames before the season started, with everyone in Basque country hoping that los Leones would be even better under Marcelo Bielsa then they had been the previous season.

However, the transition period was even more difficult than predicted, with Athletic experiencing numerous problems at the start of the season, especially on domestic stage.

The good news is that the team managed to recover from the poor run of results, with impressive wins over Paris Saint-Germain and Real Sociedad proving los Leones are finally on the right track.

Everybody now expect Athletic to keep the rich vein of form and beat Osasuna, so you should know Betfair pays 1.84 (21/25) on home win.

Key striker Fernando Llorente should be fit to feature after recovering from a muscle injury, but Herrera, Ocio, Igor Martinez and Castillo remain sidelined.

Probable starting line-up (4-3-3): Iraizoz – Iraola, Ekiza, Amorebieta, De Marcos – Susaeta, Javi Martinez, Iturraspe – Muniain, Llorente, Gabilondo.

Osasuna entered new season without key players Nacho Monreal, Javier Camunas and Walter Pandiani, so everybody was surprised to see them doing so well at the start of the season.

After bringing one point from Vicente Calderon, Osasuna recorded the first, and so far the only victory of the season by beating Sporting Gijon, whereas the 8:0 defeat to Barcelona was quickly forgotten.

Los Rojillos then shared spoils with Sevilla, Granada and Mallorca, thus proving they are still a tough nut to crack. Osasuna are 3.60 (13/5) with Victor Chandler to record fourth successive draw.

Defenders Sergio and Roversio have resumed full training and they could start, meaning that Masoud and Echaide are the only absentees at the moment.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Fernandez – Bertran, Sergio, Roversio, Raitala – Nekounam, Punal – Lamah, Garcia, Cejudo – Nino.
