Barcelona vs Osasuna prediction and betting tips on January 12, 2024
Barcelona will play against Osasuna in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup. The game will take place on January 11 in Saudi Arabia.
Barcelona
This season, the Catalans are far from ideal form and for now their task is to catch up with Real and Girona in the championship standings. The gap from the leaders is already seven points.
It is interesting that the Catalans have conceded a lot of goals this campaign - in 19 rounds they conceded 22 goals. For comparison, Real Madrid conceded only 11 goals.
In the last five matches of the championship, the team won three victories, lost one match and had one draw. In general, the team does not look hopeless, but is clearly inferior to the leaders in the standings.
Osasuna
This middle peasant of the Spanish championship occupies only 12th place in the standings. In 19 rounds, he scored 22 points, conceding 29 goals into his own goal. At the same time, Osasuna scores very few goals - the team has only 22 goals, which is slightly more than a goal per match on average.
Last season, Osasuna reached the final of the Copa del Rey, where they lost to Real Madrid with a score of 1:2. It was this achievement that allowed the team to compete for the Spanish Super Cup.
Statistics and prediction for the match
In total, these teams played 95 matches and the Catalans were stronger 57 times. The modest “Osasuna” has 19 victories, and another 19 games ended in a draw.
In their last head-to-head meeting, Barcelona beat Osasuna with a score of 2:1.
Barcelona are the clear favorites for this match and I believe that they will reach the final. I will bet on the victory of the Catalans with a handicap (-1).
