Personal analysis: Athletic Bilbao's offense mainly relies on two flanks to attack. The team does not play the traditional La Liga passing and controlling style. In the offense, it mainly uses the breakthrough advantages of the two flanks to make cross shots. The Williams on the left and right sides have very good breakthrough and dribbling abilities. The center forward Gurzeta is the first point in front of the goal, Sanchet and Berenguer are the second point shots. In terms of goal efficiency on the field, Berenguer is better than Sanchet. The team's backcourt is mainly defensive, and the two full-backs and midfielders participate in the offense less. They do a good job in confrontation and marking in defense, but the back line's ability to compete for headers is relatively weak, which is related to the team's pursuit of speed and rhythm. Osasuna's offensive style is somewhat similar to Athletic Bilbao, and it mainly relies on two side crosses to grab shots in front of the goal, but the individual abilities of the team's left and right wingers are relatively poor, and the quality of breakthroughs and crosses on the field is worse than that of the home team. The center forward Budimir is the team's main scoring point, and his confrontation ability and ability to compete for headers are good. The team's ability to participate in the offense in the backcourt is not strong, and the speed ability of the two full-backs in the back line is not strong. When facing speed forwards, the single defense ability of the wing is relatively poor.

The offensive modes of Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna on the field are quite similar. From the perspective of the center forward position alone, Budimir may be stronger than Guluzeta. After all, the former relies entirely on personal ability on the front line, and Guluzeta is relatively easier to eat cakes in the penalty area. However, the gap in the strength of the two teams in terms of wingers is relatively large, so Athletic Bilbao has an absolute advantage in overall offensive ability. The King's Cup and other games are basically not attractive to Athletic Bilbao. According to the lineup of past games, Athletic Bilbao basically rotates the lineup to start. In this game, Athletic Bilbao's home game concedes 1 goal, which is a bit low. It can be seen that the organization's support for the home team is not great, especially the possibility that Athletic Bilbao will start all the main players in this game is not great. As long as the Williams brothers are missing, they are basically as strong as Osasuna. Especially since Athletic Bilbao won the King's Cup last year, the probability of this game is to participate. Therefore, Lao Li still recommends the Osasuna + 1 win option for this game, and the score is expected to be 1-1 or 0-1.
