Prediction: 3-1
Osasuna
Barcelona will look to build on a thrilling 4-0 win over Real Sociedad when they take on Osasuna in the La Liga round 27. Barca faced no difficulties against the ten-man Basques, but Hansi Flick’s men need to keep on improving their game to regain the Primera Division trophy. All Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen, and Marc Bernal are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Los Rojillos, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Valencia. As Osasuna have been struggling on the travels of late, we predict that Barcelona will record their 10th home win of the process. In the first half of the season, Osasuna claimed a major scalp by beating Barcelona 4-2 in front of home fans, meaning that the Catalan giants are hungry for revenge. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Catalonia.
Highlighted Player (Robert Lewandowski):
After scoring 36 goals in 59 league games for Znicz Pruskow, Robert Lewandowski joined Lech Poznan in June, 2008. The 184-cm-tall attacker scored 18 goals in 28 appearances for the club in the 2009/2010 Ekstraklasa campaign and during the season he was on Borussia Dortmund’s radar.
The Polish forward signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side in June, 2010 and he quickly established himself as the team’s key attacker. Lewandowski was producing excellent performances with the Millionaires between 2010 and 2014 and it has to be noted that he won two Bundesliga trophies with the club (2010/2011, 2011/2012). He participated in the 2012/2013 Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund, but the Millionaires were beaten by fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in the title game.
However, he betrayed Borussia Dortmund fans in 2014 as he signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga giants. Lewandowski impressed in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign as he scored 30 goals in 32 league games for Pep Guardiola’s troops. The Polish footballer represented his homeland at Euro 2016 in France and he scored one goal at the showpiece tournament in France.
Highlighted Team (Osasuna):
Osasuna are a Basque football team that plays in Spanish La Liga. Los Rojillos are based in Pamplona and and the club were founded in 1920. Estadio El Sadar has been the home of Osasuna since 1967 and the capacity of the stadium is 19,800.
The colour of Osasuna’s home kit is red, while the team’s shorts are navy blue. Los Rojillos dropped to the Segunda Division at the end of the 2013/2014 La Liga campaign, but they did not spend too many time in the Spanish second tier. The club returned to the elite division in 2016 after beating Girona in the play-offs.
Osasuna made it to the Spanish Copa del Rey final in 2005, but they eventually lost to Real Betis after extra time in the title game. The meaning of the word Osasuna is “health” in Basque and it is used in a sense of strength.
