Barcelona vs Osasuna - The Predictions
Barcelona has the chance to move three points clear at the top of La Liga, but not without their fair dose of frustration.
This rescheduled game was initially planned for March 8, but it was postponed due to the tragic death of Barcelona doctor Carles Minarro Garcia hours before kick-off. The authorities argue fixture congestion was a major factor in their decision to reschedule the game on Thursday, a choice that has not sat well with Barcelona.
Tensions have escalated as Barcelona accused the authorities of not considering four alternative dates. The international break ended only recently, and many Barcelona players were away representing their countries. Household names, such as Raphinha and Ronald Araujo, have had to travel back from South America after their countries' matches on Tuesday, raising concerns about their fitness and availability for the game.
But the authorities are resolute. It's game on, come what may. Barcelona will have to put their frustrations aside and focus on the task at hand. While the circumstances aren't ideal, it's almost unheard of for Barcelona to stumble against a team like Osasuna, who are ranked 14th in La Liga.
Barcelona vs Osasuna - The Betting Tips
Barcelona will be aiming to keep their title quest alive when they face Osasuna at home, and here are our betting tips:
Barcelona to win and both teams to score
Osasuna is unlikely to be relegated, but they are far from invincible. A possible front four of Dani Olmo, Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, and Robert Lewandowski is too enticing for Osasuna's defense to ignore.
Over 2.5 goals for Barcelona
Barcelona boasts an attacking force that rivals the best in Europe. Even if Raphinha is unavailable due to his prolonged travels, they still possess enough firepower to score over 2.5 goals against Osasuna.
Anytime scorer - Robert Lewandowski
Lewandowski is bound to score against Osasuna, given his track record and Barcelona's aggressive attacking style. If he's fit enough to play, that is.
Good luck with your bets, and may the best team emerge victorious!
