Athletic Osasuna was bad last season. The rojiblancos and rojillos have met four times, twice in the League and as many in the Cup, with the background of two draws at San Mamés and two victories for the rojillos at El Sadar. Both victories allowed the Navarrese to finish ahead of the lions in the regularity tournament and get a continental passport through the Conference League, on the one hand, and play the final of the KO tournament on the other.
Arrasate and Valverde will meet again tomorrow at the Navarrese stadium. The current Athletic manager has not been able to beat those led by the current Osasunista coach with some of his teams. The story also extends to the respective rivalries on the benches of Real and Barça, respectively.
As for the League, Real de Arrasate beat Athletic de Valverde 2-0 in the 2013-14 League and the same result was recorded last season in El Sadar on the occasion of the cross between Osasuna, led by coach de Berriatua, and the Bilbao team itself.
The history of crosses between teams of the same coach also includes three draws in the regularity tournament: Athletic-Real 1-1 in 2013-14, Osasuna-Barça 2-2 in 2019-2020 and Athletic-Osasuna 0-0 since last season. This last season also included the semifinal crossing between rojiblancos and rojillos.
Valverde’s men went down 1-0 in the first leg at El Sadar and drew 1-1 after extra time in the second leg at San Mamés. Therefore, the coach from Gasteiz has accumulated four draws, three losses and no wins in his clashes with teams from Arrasate.
