Osasuna vs Barcelona Prediction & Picks - LaLiga

Prediction published on 9/26/24, 3:00 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 9/26/24 at 5:52 PM in LaLiga Picks

Barcelona remain solid, showing that they are capable of putting in an extra gear when it comes to attacking. Flick's Barcelona look much more decisive in terms of attack, they know how to use the sides of the pitch to outflank their opponents, and the passes that generate one-on-one play are much more frequent now. This success has been haunted by the ghost of injuries that continue to plague the team, leaving out Olmo and Ter Steguen, two undisputed starters.

They will now face an unpredictable Osasuna in La Liga action, who have so far never repeated the result of the previous game in the league, having drawn the last one. However, in Pamplona they have become especially solid, having won 3 of the 4 games they had at the El Sadar Stadium. Even so, this will be the first time this season that they host a team that finished in the top 5 last season.

A win for Barcelona would mean equalling the most successful start in the club's history, and the bookmakers believe they can do so as the Blaugranas will be favourites with odds of up to 1.47 before the match.
