It is looking unlikely, but Athletic Club still hold aspirations of qualifying for the Champions League, though they will need a collapse from Atletico Madrid to do so.

At the moment, the Basque side are in fifth, six points adrift of Atletico with four games remaining.

They face an Osasuna side without much to play for, as they are safe from relegation in 13th.

Current Form

Athletic Club current form

Athletic's Champions League hopes took a hit recently when they lost 3-1 away at rivals Atletico. They followed that with a 2-0 defeat of Getafe last time out.

In their last five games, they have won one, lost one and drawn three, though one of those draws came in the victorious Copa del Rey final against Mallorca, which they won on penalties.

Osasuna current form

Osasuna are on a shocking run of four losses in a row versus Valencia, Rayo Vallecano, Granada and Real Betis.

They've scored just one goal in that run, too.
