Let’s check the latest La Liga odds, stats, injury reports, and La Liga lines for Osasuna vs Barcelona. We’ve plenty of La Liga betting odds for you to consider.
Osasuna: Surprise Package of the Season
Since losing 2-0 at Villarreal on Oct. 17, Osasuna has beaten Espanyol, Real Valladolid and Celta Vigo in the league while drawing 1-1 with Girona. They are now sitting fifth in the standings with 23 points to their name, just one point behind third-place Atletico Madrid.
The Pamplona-based outfit has finished 10th, 11th and 10th in their last three Spanish top-flight league campaigns. Still, they were seventh as recently as 2011-12, and a European challenge this term cannot be ruled out considering their results and performances in the opening months of the campaign.
It’s still early to predict where they will finish, but we doubt they will enjoy this run until the end of the season. That’s why if you’re betting online, you should fade them on Tuesday. Osasuna will miss on-loan Barcelona attacker Abde Ezzalzouli due to a thigh problem while Kike Saverio is again expected to miss out with a tendon injury. Sergio Herrera also remains a doubt, but the home side has no fresh concerns from their clash with Celta Vigo last weekend.
Barcelona: Best Defense in La Liga
The Catalan giants will enter this clash on the back of a 2-0 win over Almeria, with Gerard Pique bidding farewell to Camp Nou, as he prepares to retire from professional football. Barcelona dominated the entire match, recording 70 percent of possession and generating 27 goal attempts and 13 shots on target.
Barcelona has the best defense in La Liga with just four goals allowed in 13 games and it will be very tough for Osasuna to find the back of the net on Tuesday. They entered the week two points clear of second-place Real Madrid, but the reigning champions played at Rayo Vallecano on Monday.
There is no getting away from the fact that the Catalan outfit was hugely disappointing in the Champions League, but they have been excellent in La Liga. They were drawn against Manchester United in the Europa League knockout stages and they will be targeting the trophy. They are by far the better side between the two and we will continue to include them in our soccer picks and parlays.
Pique is technically available for this match, but it is unlikely that he will be included in the squad, especially with Andreas Christensen and Eric Garcia now fit and available for selection. Memphis Depay and Jules Kounde remain doubts for this contest while Ronald Araujo, Sergi Roberto and Franck Kessie will definitely be on the sidelines through injury.
Osasuna vs Barcelona Head-to-Head
Osasuna, who have another game against Fuentes in the Copa del Rey on Saturday, suffered a 4-0 defeat in their last clash with Barcelona back in March, but the points were shared in a 2-2 draw at Estadio El Sadar in the last term. Osasuna’s home form this season has been pretty spectacular, picking up five wins from seven games. Barcelona has scored in 20 of their last 21 away La Liga fixtures. Barca is on a run of 11 wins in 13 league matches on the road. Osasuna has only failed to score in two of their last 13 home league games.
