Barcelona
Osasuna
In the rescheduled match of the 27th round of the Spanish championship, taking place on Thursday, March 27, 2025, Barcelona and Osasuna will face off. I propose a bet on the outcome of this clash with a good chance of success.
Match preview
Barcelona heads into the upcoming match against Osasuna at the top of the Spanish league table. The Catalans have 60 points, level with Real Madrid, but Barcelona has played one less game. This season, the team has demonstrated impressive attacking potential, scoring 75 goals (the most in La Liga, compared to Real Madrid's 59).
The defensive line is also on point, conceding only 27 goals. In the last five matches, Barcelona has shown impeccable form, securing five consecutive victories: 4-1 against Sevilla, 1-0 against Rayo Vallecano, 2-0 against Las Palmas, 4-0 against Real Sociedad, and 4-2 against Atletico Madrid.
On the other hand, Osasuna cannot boast such results. Currently, the team occupies 14th place in the league table with 33 points. Their goal difference is also negative — 33:39.
In the last five matches, the team has not secured a single victory, drawing three times: 1-1 with Mallorca, 1-1 with Real Madrid, and 3-3 with Valencia. Osasuna also suffered two defeats: a narrow one against Celta (0-1) and another against Getafe (1-2). On the road, the team also struggles, with only one victory in 12 matches alongside five defeats.
Probable lineups
- Barcelona: Wojciech Szczesny – Jules Kounde, Gerard Martin, Ronald Araujo, Alex Balde – Marc Casado, Pedri, Dani Olmo – Lamine Yamal, Raphinha Dias, Robert Lewandowski

Prediction
Bookmakers are fully siding with Barcelona, offering odds of 1.23 for a home win. Nevertheless, I believe Osasuna can put up a fight and not lose by a large margin. Our bet is "Osasuna win with a handicap (+2.5)" at odds of 1.68.
