Barcelona, Recent FormAny Barcelona pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 5-3 home defeat by Villarreal. They achieved 71% possession in that match and had 22 strikes at goal, with 10 hitting the target, up against Villarreal's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Whilst manager Xavi Hernández will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 15 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 20 of their 21 games this season.
It's been mixed fortunes for Barca at Spotify Camp Nou recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.
Ferrán Torres will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Barcelona.
Osasuna, Recent FormOsasuna had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Sevilla. In that game they recorded 56 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 10 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 12 games in a row.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
Ante Budimir will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Osasuna.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Osasuna who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-2 to Barcelona.
Barca have managed to keep a clean sheet against Los Rojillos in each of their previous 3 meetings at Spotify Camp Nou. Goals should be on the cards for Barca in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Los Rojillos in their last 12 meetings together. We have seen plenty of goals from Blaugrana when they play at home against Osasuna. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 9 goals, which is an average of 3 goals per game.
Barca will be looking to continue their winning streak against Osasuna having won in their last 4 meetings in the league.
Barca manager Xavi Hernández has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Marcos Alonso (Back), Alejandro Balde (Tendon), Pablo Gavi (Cruciate ligament), Iñigo Martínez (Muscle), Raphael Raphinha (Thigh), Sergi Roberto (Achilles tendon) and Marc-André ter Stegen (Back) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Osasuna manager Jagoba Arrasate has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
