Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – Home Win and Three or more total match goals – 1.91
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Handicap -1 goal FC Barcelona – 1.85
It can be said that it is a reality that the arrival of Xavi Hernandez to the FC Barcelona bench has had an effect, the Catalan team has begun to show a very noticeable superiority over its opponents, which is most evident especially in matches at the Camp Nou. We see Barça as favourites to win this match.
In their last few games, Barça have been a machine for creating dangerous chances on their opponents’ goal, sometimes more effectively than on other occasions, but what we do not doubt is that in this game they will also have many chances on goal. That is why we think it is a good Handicap to deduct a goal from them and that they could still win the match.
Barça are looking to continue their unbeaten run, which has now stretched to 11 matches in a row, with seven wins and four draws. Xvi Hernandez’s only defeat as coach of the Catalan side in La Liga Santander came on December 4 when they lost 1-0 to Real Betis.
The arrival of Xavi has meant a notable improvement in all lines of play, but it is especially notable in attack, as Barça is currently one of the teams with the highest number of shots per game, with an average of 14.04 per game.
With 13 goals scored in the last ten minutes of play so far, the Osasuna defence will have to be very careful when the game is reaching the final minutes of play, as this is the stretch in which Barça have scored the most goals so far.
As for Osasuna, it should be noted that they are one of the few teams that get more points away from home than at home, as 20 of their 35 total points have been obtained away from Navarra.
The key to Osasuna’s good away performances is mainly due to their good defensive play, having conceded just 12 goals in 13 games. Let’s see if this good defence is also effective against a great team like Barça.
For Barça, Nico González is out for the game due to suspension, while Alejandro Baldé, Sameul Umtiti, Ansu Fati, Moussa Wague and Sergi Roberto will be out through injury.

Highlighted Player
Ferran Torres
The young Valencian striker was the key player in the match against Elche, thanks to him, Barça managed to equalise and he had a great impact on his team’s offensive play, creating many dangerous situations. We think he could be the player to follow for this match as well.
