Saturday 2nd May 2026, 2000hrs (GMT)
Osasuna returned to winning ways in La Liga last Sunday with a 2-1 home win against Sevilla which ended a run of three matches without a win and helped maintain the hosts’ ambitions of claiming a European spot for next season.
Osasuna had previously been involved in draws with Alaves and Real Betis along with being dealt a 1-0 loss away from home at Athletic Bilbao but all three points last time out will give Alessio Lisci’s side a welcome boost ahead of this upcoming encounter with the runaway league leaders, Barcelona.
However, the hosts have managed to capture just two wins from their last eight league matches in the Spanish top flight including a previous 1-0 home win against Girona along with being involved in three stalemates as well as three defeats.
Barcelona sit top of the La Liga table where they hold a commanding 11-point lead over 2nd placed rivals Real Madrid ahead of this upcoming action in La Liga, and having accumulated no fewer than nine impressive wins on the trot, the visitors look favourites to continue their momentum at the Estadio El Sadar on Saturday night.
Within these nine victories, three have been achieved on their travels as Barcelona have accounted for the likes of Athletic Bilbao, Atletico Madrid and Getafe respectively within an overall away record which stands at 11-1-4 35/21 and is the best record on the road in the division.
With just one loss within their last 13 matches overall including collecting 12 wins in the process, Hans-Dieter Flick’s side look a fearsome prospect for their upcoming hosts.
The Betting Verdict
Barcelona have won eight of the last nine meetings against Osasuna.
The Pick :
Osasuna 0-1 Barcelona
