Barcelona

WDWWWW 📈

Barcelona will be looking for a repeat result of a 2-4 La Liga triumph against Atlético Madrid.

In that match, Barcelona managed 66% possession and 13 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. For Barcelona, the scorers were Robert Lewandowski (72'), Ferrán Torres (78', 98') and Lamine Yamal (92'). For their opponents, Atletico Madrid got 7 shots at goal with 2 of them on target.

Barcelona haven’t had any problems with scoring, hitting the target every time they’ve gone out to play in their last 6 games.

They’ve hit an aggregate of 18 during that time while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 7.

Coming into this fixture, Barcelona are undefeated in their last 4 league matches at home.

Osasuna

LDDLDL 📉

Since a losing effort in their last game against Getafe in La Liga competition, Osasuna will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Osasuna had 62% possession and 12 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Osasuna was Ante Budimir (45'). Getafe got 7 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Ramón Terrats (55', 71') scored for Getafe.

The stats tell the story, and Osasuna have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 10 goals in total. In defence, Osasuna can certainly do much better. With no two games being the same, time will tell if that trend might be sustained in this match.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Osasuna:

• are winless against Barcelona when they've played them away from home in the last 4 league games. They really have not been travelling well at all.
• are without a win away from home in their last 7 matches in the league.

🗞️ Team News: Barcelona

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Barcelona manager Hansi Flick to be concerned about from an otherwise complete squad. Fernando Pacheco (Ankle injury) will miss out.

In all likelihood, Barça look set to use the 4-2-3-1 system for this one, handing starts to Wojciech Szczesny, Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, Inigo Martinez, Alejandro Balde, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez and Ferran Torres.

ℹ️ Team News: Osasuna

We’re of the thinking that Los Rojillos might utilise a 5-3-2 formation, starting Sergio Herrera, Unai Garcia, Alejandro Catena, Jorge Herrando, Jesus Areso, Abel Bretones, Jon Moncayola, Iker Munoz, Aimar Oroz, Ante Budimir and Raul Garcia.

💭 Prediction

It’s pretty clear that Osasuna will need to be at their best to find the net against a Barcelona side who have the capability to really run this game.

We’re expecting a comprehensive 3-0 victory for Barcelona at full-time.
