Barcelona eye victory away against Osasuna in 2019/20 La Liga

Barcelona will take on Osasuna away in 2019/20 La Liga as the season moves ahead. Barca go into this game as the favourites.

Kick-off : 5:00 PM (Local)

Venue : El Sadar Stadium, Pamplona

Barcelona after registering a fantastic 5-2 win against Real Betis to make a return to winning ways this season will have to produce another stellar performance as an away test awaits.

Barca at present are 10th in the points table after two games with three points. In Osasuna they have got opponents who will not give up that easily sand hence Barca will need to be at their best.

With Leo Messi still not clear whether he will play or not in Pamplona, we can say this game should see some major efforts made by Barcelona side.

They need to be good defensively and attack well. In other terms try and keep a clean sheet.

On the other hand, Osasuna have been quite good this season and are yet to loose a game so far. They will be in a positive frame of mind.

Los Rojillos currently are 7th in the points table after two games with four points. Barcelona should be much superior opponents though.

Osasuna needs to take the home advantage and produce soccer that satisfies the expectations of their home supporters. They need to defend well as a unit.

If they can find a way to get past the defenders then they are in good stead meaning they must add to their telly of goals to be safe. Although it will take some doing.

Team news and possible line-ups

Enrique Barja and Unai Garcia will both be not available for Osasuna for the Barcelona game as due to injuries.

As for Barca, Ousmane Dembele will be unavailable as due to injury.

Osasuna XI : Ruben, Vidal, Hernandez, Garcia, Estupinan, Ibanez, Tollar, Brasanac, Torres, Avila, Cardona.

Barcelona XI : Ter Stegen, Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Alba, Roberto, Busquets, de Jong, Perez, Griezmann, Rafinha.

Prediction

It should be a good game as both teams will give their all and I think it might end a 1-1 draw.
