Barcelona can clinch the La Liga title this weekend with a win against Osasuna at Estadio El Sadar. They also need Real Madrid to slip up against Espanyol.
As of early Saturday, Barcelona sits 11 points clear of second-placed Real Madrid. They have achieved 28 wins, one draw, and four defeats this season.
Osasuna is in ninth place in the La Liga table, only two points behind sixth-placed Getafe. Their record includes 11 wins, nine draws, and 13 defeats from 33 matches.
The home advantage may favor Osasuna, who have picked up 32 points from 16 home matches this season, securing nine wins. However, they face a tough challenge as they have only won 21 of their last 100 matches against Barcelona.
Ante Budimir has been a standout player for Osasuna, scoring 16 times in 32 league appearances this season. Meanwhile, Barcelona’s squad will be without Lamine Yamal due to a hamstring injury and Jules Kounde is suspended.
Barcelona has the best away record in La Liga this season, accumulating 34 points from 16 matches. They also come into this match on a nine-game winning streak in the league.
Historically, Barcelona defeated Osasuna 2-0 in their previous encounter earlier this season. In contrast, Osasuna managed a surprising 4-2 victory over Barcelona back in September 2024.
