Gaizka Garitano, the Bilbao manager, says the win over Levante has boosted the team's confidence, but he urged his charges not to relax.
“We needed this win. We were relaxed and we came in from a good week of work, but a team needs positive results," Garitano said.
“I’m glad for them [the players]. We defended well and were brave in attack. This is a new generation we have with us already.
"We need time and patience, but the most important thing is that they are already with us and they are helping the team.”
The last meeting between Osasuna and Bilbao in a league encounter was on 16 February 2020.
The Reds stunned the Lions 1-0 in an encounter which played at the San Mames Stadium.
