 Barcelona - Osasuna Prediction, Picks and Tips  


 
  
Ronald Koeman has a very difficult time on the bench at his beloved FC Barcelona. In any case, Sunday's home game against Osasuna will have to be won to keep the Catalan title aspirations alive. Last season, however, the visitors from Pamplona had a resounding stunt with a 1-2 victory!






 
 
  

These are turbulent times for Ronald Koeman at FC Barcelona. The Catalans are experiencing their worst start to the season in 29 years, and with only eleven points from the first eight rounds of play and an unimaginable thirteenth place, they are already a street length behind leader Real Sociedad and its two arch rivals from Madrid. The Blaugrana only won one of the last six league matches.



The bright spots are scarce at Camp Nou this season, but fortunately they are there. For example, FC Barcelona is doing well in the Champions League, in which it secured its place in the eighth finals of the European champion ball last week thanks to a resounding 0-4 victory over Dynamo Kiev. FC Barcelona played strong and put a lot of energy into its game. "This is the game I like to see," said Koeman, who was also full of praise for debutant Oscar Mingueza's performance. In addition, Lionel Messi and Frenkie de Jong had stayed in Barcelona, so they are fit for the home game against Osasuna. After all, FC Barcelona must win that game in order not to lose sight of the Spanish top four.
 

 
 
 
 


Osasuna has exactly as many points as FC Barcelona, although the club from Pamplona has played one more match. However, with only one point from the last three games, the red shirts have struggled in recent weeks. Last week, the team did not get further than a 1-1 draw at home against PhD candidate Huesca, much to the dismay of trainer Jagoba Arrasate: 'We played a crappy first half. If you start a match like that, you can never win. '



So Osasuna is not in good shape, but of course the visitors have nothing to lose at Camp Nou. The team scores with difficulty, but can make it difficult for everyone on the basis of a good organization. Last season Osasuna even managed to win 1-2 at FC Barcelona, which officially saw the national title go to Real Madrid. In the years before, however, visitors each time fell by large numbers in Catalonia.
