Osasuna take on the visitors Barcelona in the round 14 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 8th at Estadio El Sadar (Pamplona).
Osasuna are a classic example of a "coach’s team", quite common in Spanish football. Yagoba Arrasate took over the club in Segunda, and without any apparent problems, he first brought them to the elite division of the country, and then confidently staked out the status of the mid-table side with his wards -in the last draw they closed the top ten there. Perhaps it's time for the Pamplonians to aim for something more? As if demonstrating this, it turned out to start with a victory over Sevilla, and after 5 rounds there were already 12 points. Then, however, they had to go through a setback, with 1 point in 4 games (but it was a draw with Real Madrid). And in the second half of October, it turned out to improve: victories over Espanyol and Valladolid, albeit diluted with away 1-1 draw with Girona. The new month began with a trip to Vigo. Due to the double of Chimi Avila, it turned out to win 2-1 at Celta. This allowed the team to gain a foothold in the European Cup zone.

Barcelona started the new season with high hopes. Here, neither Laporte nor Xavi can blame their predecessors for something, although financial problems are still very far from being resolved. But they still expected the Bluagrana to return to the highest level, which was lost in 2021. So far, it only remains to state that in the Champions League they "managed" to repeat last year's result without leaving the group - the dispute for 2nd place and a ticket to the playoffs was lost to Inter (0-1 on the road, in Milan, 3-3 at Camp Nou). Moreover, soon in the LaLiga they lost El Clasico to Real Madrid. Los Blancos, however, had already managed to drop points after that, not having won just against the representative of Catalonia - Girona. And “more than a club” won, however, after crushing successes with Villarreal and Athletic, they forced out 1-0 with Valencia, scoring in the very end. Barca didn't score in the 1st half against Almeria, but in the end they took a comfortable 2-0. So "more than a club" said goodbye to Pique - the legendary defender suddenly decided to end his career. However, he had a lot of problems lately, including off the field.
But not everything is going so well for Barcelona against this Osasuna. "More than a club" won only half of the last 6 head-to-head matches with the "Pamplonians". Bookmakers are waiting, of course, for the victory of Barcelona. But the hosts will definitely impose a fight, so it’s worth betting on “over 2.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
