Team News

Benat Prados (ACL) continues to miss out for Athletic Club, but otherwise, head coach Ernesto Valverde appears to have a fully-fit squad to choose from on Tuesday.

Football Odds

Osasuna boss Alessio Lisci, meanwhile, must make do without Asier Osambela again as the midfielder completes a two-match suspension for an off-the-pitch red card against Alaves on April 5.

Influential defender Alejandro Catena is also banned after picking up his 10th yellow card of the league campaign in a 1-1 home draw with Real Betis last time out, while Iker Benito (knee) remains on the treatment table.

In more positive news, Flavian Boyomo will return from his own suspension to replace Catena in the centre of defence.

Four of ATH's last five games have seen an opposition centre-back booked

Player to Receive a Card - Jorge Herrando (OSA) @ 23/10

An opposition centre-back has been booked in four of Athletic's last five games, with Pau Navarro (Villarreal), Djene Dakonam (Getafe), Natan (Real Betis) and Pau Cubarsi (FC Barcelona) all receiving yellow cards.

Eight Athletic players, including five forward-thinking players, Alex Berenguer (38), Gorka Guruzeta (28), Nico Williams (25), Oihan Sancet (23) and Inaki Williams (21), have been fouled over 20 times in Spain's top-flight league in 2025/26, with all averaging over a foul won per 90.

Today's Football Fixtures

Catena, who has been booked in the last three head-to-heads, would be the obvious Osasuna player to back in the card market on Tuesday, but with the defender suspended, I'm turning my attention to Jorge Herrando, who has committed 23 fouls across 26 La Liga appearances this season at an average of 1.4 per 90.

The 25-year-old has only been booked three times, but he's only started 15 league games in 2025/26, and he was booked in his last one, the 1-1 draw with Betis on April 12.

Herrando was also cautioned in the last head-to-head in January for a 77th-minute foul on Berenguer, while he has received a yellow before at San Mames, in a May 2024 2-2 draw between the two teams, for upending the same opponent.

Bet Builder - Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta (ATH) 2+ Tackles & Valentin Rosier (OSA) 1+ Shots @ 21/10

Athletic midfielder Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta is averaging 1.8 tackles per game in this season's La Liga.

The 32-year-old only recorded one tackle in his 66 minutes on the field against Villarreal last time out, but had registered exactly two in his previous four starts.

Osasuna right-back Valentin Rosier, meanwhile, has taken 12 shots across 24 La Liga appearances this season, and seven of those attempts have come in his last four games.

The 29-year-old shot once against Real Sociedad, twice against Girona, three times against Deportivo Alaves - scoring with his first effort - and once against Real Betis last time out, so he's obviously feeling more confident in and around the opposition penalty area at the moment.

Rosier recorded one shot at the San Mames last season for former club Leganes, firing wide in the 10th minute of a goalless draw.
