Barcelona vs Osasuna – Preview, and Prediction
Barcelona vs Osasuna – On Thursday night in Riyadh, Barcelona and Osasuna will play in the second semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup at Al Awal Park at King Saud University.
Blaugrana, who also play in the Saudi capital, will defend the trophy they won exactly one year ago when they defeated Real Madrid 3-1 in the championship game.
Their recent struggles have not been good, as Xavi’s team dropped to third place in the Spanish La Liga rankings, seven points behind joint leaders Real Madrid and Girona.
The Catalans’ last two road wins over Las Palmas (2-1 in La Liga) and Barbastro (3-2 in Copa del Rey) at the start of 2024 were also disappointing.
Real Madrid defeated Osasuna by a score of 1-2 in the Copa del Rey final the previous year. This will be Osasuna’s first time competing in the Super Cup.
Arrasate’s team defeated Segunda Division team Castellon in extra time to go to the Copa del Rey round of sixteen after a goalless draw in 90 minutes.
Barcelona and Osasuna had plenty of chances to score in their cup matches, but their aggressive displays suggest a high-scoring showdown in Saudi Arabia.
Barcelona vs Osasuna – Betting Analysis
Barcelona enters this game fresh off four straight wins over Osasuna. However, in their previous five meetings with Osasuna, Barcelona had only triumphed by two or more goals once.
