Barcelona vs Osasuna Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The visitors have not won any of their last five matches.

Barcelona are all set to host Osasuna on matchday 28 of the LaLiga 2024-25 season. The match was rescheduled after the tragic demise of first-team doctor Carles Minarro Garcia. The Spanish league encounter will take place after the players return from their national team duties. Both sides should produce a good match.

Hansi Flick’s Barca might have some players in a tiring state. Squad members like Lamine Yamal, Raphina, Ferran Torres and others were representing their national teams and might not be 100% fit here. Blaugrana might face some issues. However, they are in good form and will be looking to extend the lead to keep the top of the table spot in the LaLiga.

Osasuna will be going up against an in-form side. The chances of the visitors are very low. But the previous fixture between these two teams saw Osasuna grabbing a win over Barca.

It was earlier this season when Blaugrana scored a couple of goals but conceded four because of their loose defence and lost the fixture to Osasuna. Hansi Flick’s men will not be looking to repeat the same mistake here.

Players to Watch

Raphinha (Barcelona)

In the absence of ace forward Robert Lewandowski, Raphina, alongside Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal, will be there to cause trouble for Osasuna’s defence. The Brazilian forward is in good form and will be looking to engrave his name on the scoresheet. Because of their loose attack and defence, Barca lost against Osasuna earlier this season, but this time around, Raphinha will be looking to turn the tide.

Ante Budimir (Osasuna)

Ante Budimir scored a brace for Osasuna the last time they faced Barca. The Croatia national football team player will be in action once again. He might trouble the Blaugrana’s defence. Budimir will be leading the attack for Osasuna from the front.
