Barcelona vs Osasuna prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-12-12 17:30.
[p]After winning their last six La Liga matches by a margin of at least two goals, table-toppers Barcelona host a resurgent Osasuna.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Barcelona made it four victories in a row and only one defeat across all competitions from the start of November (W7, D1) when they came from behind to beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. That win was their seventh in succession at home and their fourth back at the Camp Nou following league triumphs over Athletic Club, Alavés and Atlético Madrid. In La Liga, Hansi Flick’s side have a 100% winning record as hosts this season and enjoy a four-point lead over second-placed Real Madrid.[/p]
[p]After winning only two of their 11 games immediately prior to December (D3, L6), Osasuna will make the trip to Barcelona targeting a third victory on the bounce across all competitions and also successive clean sheets in La Liga for the first time this term. This revival began in round 14 when they found themselves 2-0 down late on at Mallorca and came back to secure a crucial point. Away from home, Los Rojillos have lost just one of their last five encounters (W2, D2), albeit including two Copa del Rey wins over lower-league opponents, and go into matchday 16 in 15th place, sitting three points above the relegation zone.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Barcelona have won the last five home H2Hs and seven of the last eight meetings between the sides at any venue (L1). Osasuna did beat Barça last season, but have not defeated them as the away team since July 2020.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]

[p]Barcelona seemingly have no new availability issues, while Lucas Torró is a doubt for Osasuna after being forced off against Levante. [/p]
