Barcelona unstoppable! Can revived Osasuna survive the storm at Camp Nou?!
Barcelona in Full Control
Barcelona enter this clash in dominant form, riding a six-match league winning streak — all by at least two goals. Their overall momentum is just as strong, with only one defeat across all competitions since early November (7 wins, 1 draw).
Their latest success came in the Champions League, where they overturned a tough match against Eintracht Frankfurt to win 2:1. It was Barça’s seventh straight home victory and their fourth in a row at Camp Nou after league wins against Athletic Bilbao, Alavés and Atlético Madrid.
Hansi Flick’s team are perfect at home in La Liga and hold a four-point advantage over Real Madrid heading into the weekend.
Osasuna’s Quiet Revival
Osasuna arrive with renewed confidence after a difficult run in early autumn. Before December, they had won only two of eleven league matches, but now they travel to Barcelona chasing a third consecutive victory in all competitions — and the chance to keep back-to-back La Liga clean sheets for the first time this season.
The revival began dramatically on Mallorca, where Osasuna battled back from 0:2 to rescue a valuable point. Away from home they have lost just once in their last five matches, though two wins came in the Copa del Rey against lower-league opposition.
They enter Round 16 sitting 15th, three points above the relegation zone.
