In a mid week match in week 14, on Tuesday Nov 8th, Osasuna will play host to Barcelona in a meeting of these two La Liga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Osasuna is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Real Valladolid. Chimy Ávila struck first for Osasuna in the 13th minute on a penalty kick, then Moi Gómez added another in the 19th minute In the end, Real Valladolid was frustrated by Osasuna’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Osasuna ended the match with the shutout victory. Osasuna is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 2nd placed Barcelona, recorded a 4-2 win against Viktoria Plzeň. Marcos Alonso scored the first goal for Barcelona in the 6th minute, then Ferrán Torres added another in the 44th minute on a feed from Jordi Alba. Barcelona should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Barcelona won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Robert Lewandowski has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, hes scored 4 goals for Barcelona. Darko Brašanac and Ante Budimir are the top scorers for Osasuna in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Jagoba Arrasate Elustondo’s Osasuna squad will be without Sergio Herrera, Kike Saverio and Abde Ezzalzouli, while Sergi Roberto, Andreas Christensen and Jules Koundé are unavailable to play for Barcelona.
