Barcelona enters this fixture with several important absences. Key players Raphinha and Ronald Araújo will miss the match due to their late returns from international duty. Raphinha featured in Brazil’s World Cup qualifier against Argentina, and Araújo was involved with Uruguay’s national team, making their participation impractical given the short turnaround.
Additionally, the team will be without Marc-André ter Stegen (knee injury), Andreas Christensen (calf injury), Marc Casadó (knee injury), and Marc Bernal (knee injury). Pau Cubarsí is doubtful due to an ankle sprain sustained during international duty.
In light of these absences, manager Hansi Flick is expected to make adjustments to the starting lineup. Inigo Martinez, returning from a knee injury, is likely to partner with Eric Garcia in central defense. Jules Koundé and Alejandro Balde are expected to occupy the full-back positions. In midfield, the duo of Frenkie de Jong and Pedri will provide creativity and control, while the attacking trio of Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, and Fermin Lopez will support striker Robert Lewandowski.
Barcelona predicted line-up vs Osasuna (4-2-3-1): Szczęsny, Martin, Garcia, Martinez, Koundé, Pedri, Casadó, Fermin Lopez, Olmo, Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski.
| Key Player to Watch | Lamine Yamal |
| Team Strengths | Aggressive offside trap, high pressing, rapid transitions, established chemistry between key players |
| Team Weaknesses | Risky approach, lack of rest defence, overreliance on Lamine Yamal and Pedri to create chances |
| Key injuries and suspensions. | Marc-André Ter Stegen, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen |
Osasuna faces challenges of their own, with key players unavailable for this encounter. Midfielder Lucas Torró is suspended after accumulating his tenth yellow card of the season. Bryan Zaragoza is sidelined due to a hamstring injury sustained in the recent match against Getafe. Defender Flavien Boyomo is a doubt following his involvement with the Cameroon national team and subsequent travel.
Manager Vicente Moreno is expected to field a lineup that compensates for these absences. Sergio Herrera will start in goal, with a defensive line likely comprising Jesús Areso, David García, Jorge Herrando, Juan Cruz, and Abel Bretones. In midfield, Iker Muñoz and Pablo Ibáñez are expected to feature, with Rubén García, Aimar Oroz, and Kike Barja supporting striker Ante Budimir.
Osasuna predicted line-up vs Barcelona (5-3-2): Herrera; Areso, D. García, Herrando, Cruz, Bretones; Muñoz, Ibáñez, Oroz; R. García, Budimir.
| Key Player to Watch | Ante Budimir |
| Team Strengths | Compact mid-block, intense gameplay out of possession, strong in counter-attacks through the wings |
| Team Weaknesses | Lack of goal-scorers outside of Ante Budimir, lack of squad depth, lack of impactful wingers |
| Key injuries and suspensions. | Bryan Zaragoza, Lucas Torró |
In 24 fixtures, the Barcelona club won 18, Osasuna took 3, and 3 were drawn. In the last match, Hansi Flick rotated his squad as his team was first in La Liga. The consequences of his choice were heavy, with the rivals inflicting their first defeat of the season, at El Sadar.
Barcelona’s victory against Osasuna dates back to January 2024, with the prior winning 1-0. Vitor Roque scored the only goal.
Bet hereWhile Lamine Yamal will remain at the center of attention as an invaluable winger, Flick must choose the right advanced midfielder to break through Osasuna’s compact defensive lines. The choice lies between Dani Olmo and Gavi, depending on what type of game the coach is looking for.
Gavi will likely succeed in matches where he must defend. Dani Olmo, on the other hand, is the more technical choice. He focuses on breaking the lines but gives up space behind his back.
As for Osasuna, the obvious choices would be Ante Budimir. He just became the club’s top all-time scorer.
Barcelona are expected to dominate Thursday’s event, especially at home. Furthermore, Flick demonstrated he’s capable of responding to injuries, although he’s already been warned not to underestimate Osasuna.
The guests should rely on Moncayola and Ante Budimir as their main threats in the final third. The squad are expected to set up in a compact mid-block, but the question is, how long can they hold it before Barcelona scores.
El Sadar is never an easy venue to play at, and if any team knows that, it’s Barcelona. Hansi Flick rotated his squad in his first encounter with Osasuna, which resulted in the side’s initial defeat of the season in La Liga.
Fortunately for him, the match will not take place at El Sadar. Instead, the FC club will host the game, with betting odds vouching for the locals. This is hardly surprising considering the team just won against Atletico at Wanda Metropolitano.
Barcelona’s superior individual quality should be enough to secure a win in the midst of a three-horse race for La Liga.
Though Osasuna are not known for their attacking prowess, their compact mid-block makes transitions through the wings the most dangerous attacking route. However, Lewandowski has proven to be effective in these situations, as his runs behind the backline often lead to significant scoring opportunities inside the penalty box.
