Barcelona - Osasuna predictions

With the 1.20 odds on a home win, there’s little doubt that Barcelona will win the match on Saturday. Osasuna winning would be one of the biggest upsets of the season, but we wouldn’t hold our breaths for that to happen.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Barcelona and the 12.00 odds given to Osasuna to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

Barcelona quickly emerged as the dominant side in their previous La Liga showdown, which was hardly a surprise given the 1.29 odds on them winning. They easily confirmed what most predictions were expecting and recorded a 4:0 win.

Osasuna played a fairly difficult matchup against Valencia in the previous round. Their home-field advantage spurred them enough to secure an early lead, but they eventually dropped the lead and ended the game with 3:3 on the scoreboard.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Barca and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

The most noteworthy bit of the away team’s recent records is that they scored more than 5 times during their latest 3 home games. The home-field advantage doesn’t translate into the match this Saturday, but their strikers are still fairly consistent.

Osasuna are not in the easiest of positions as they move into round 27 – especially if they want to move on to an international competition. They’re just 5 points behind a Europa League qualification, but earning them is easier said than done considering how difficult this upcoming matchup is.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Osasuna carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Blaugrana as somewhat more likely to win.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday.

Decent offers are in short supply for this match, so our best tip is to risk an HT/FT bet and go for Draw/Home. It’s quite a bold offer to take at odds of 8.35, but the betting value makes it interesting.
