FC Barcelona vs Osasuna: Prediction

Notably, Osasuna is currently 12th in the La Liga table. However, in the recent fixtures, they have been able to find some consistency in the league ahead of the big match. They have only lost one game in the last five. On the other side, they have managed two one-nil wins and two one-one draws. The Spanish soccer club, on the other side, has lost only one game in the last five league games. Nonetheless, defensive problems have arisen in recent matches amid the long-term absence of star goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen. Yet, Osasuna is still going to find it hard to score. The forward line of the Culers has done well. Thus, Barcelona are the favorites to win the fixture.
