Prediction published on 06/11/2022, 02:19  by Daniel Ngulu in LaLiga Predictions

Barcelona are well in the La Liga title race after their disappointing performance in the Champions League, and will hope to stay on top after their trip to Osasuna. The two sides face off on Tuesday, and ahead of the game Barcelona are top of La Liga standings with 34 points while Osasuna have 23 points in fifth place. Osasuna are on a good run ahead of this game; they are coming from a 2-1 away win at Celta Vigo. That was their fourth unbeaten outing, third win in five matches and the second straight game in which they scored two goals. Osasuna have failed to score in one of their last five home matches and this is the form they will want to take to this game, facing the best defensive side in the league.

Barcelona are coming from an emotional game which saw the Catalans bid goodbye to one of their most iconic players, Gerrard Pique as they beat Almeria 2-0 in Catalunya. They go into this game on a good run domestically and will be hoping to still be on top of the league standings by the time they play. This is not a game that has troubled Barcelona in the previous meetings; they’ve won three of the last four meetings with Osasuna and in each of the four matches, they scored two or more goals. The win over Almeria was Barcelona’s third straight victory since losing 3-0 at home to Bayern Munich. In La Liga, they have four straight wins and clean sheets; they’ve conceded just four goals in La Liga this season, making them the best in the league defensively. They are also the best in attack, with 31 goals so far.
