Osasuna Form
Osasuna are confirming their status as a solid mid-table side this season. The side coached by Alessio Lisci are especially dangerous at El Sadar, where the hosts are unbeaten in 10 league home rounds (six wins and four draws). The home team are particularly strong in defence, having conceded only 18 goals in 16 home matches. The attack led by Ante Budimir (16 goals this season) is also lively — 28 of their 39 goals have been scored on home soil.
Key Osasuna Numbers:
Lisci's side have conceded in the first half in five of their last seven matches.
Osasuna have scored in every La Liga home match.
The hosts have lost 10 of their last 12 head-to-head meetings with Barcelona.
Potential lineup (4-2-3-1): Sergio Herrera — Valentin Rosier, Enzo Boyomo, Alejandro Catena, Javi Galan — Jon Moncayola, Iker Munoz — Ruben Garcia, Aimar Oroz, Victor Munoz — Ante Budimir.
Out: Iker Benito (injury).
Barcelona Form
Barcelona under Hansi Flick are an attacking machine, having scored 87 goals in 33 matches (the best record in the league). The Catalans have won nine league matches in a row, showing total dominance in possession (an average of 69%). Even the absence of key creators Lamine Yamal and Raphinha does not reduce the potential of the team thanks to the support of Ferran Torres and Robert Lewandowski (26 La Liga goals between them).
Key Barcelona Numbers:
Barcelona have kept clean sheets in 10 of their last 17 matches.
The Blaugrana have won the first half in five of their last six matches.
Flick's side have collected 52 yellow cards this season (the fewest in La Liga).

Out: Andreas Christensen, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Marc Bernal (injuries), Jules Kounde (suspension).
