FC Barcelona v Real Betis - LaLiga Santander — Barcelona take on Osasuna this week

The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this week as Osasuna lock horns with Xavi's impressive Barcelona side in an important clash at the Camp Nou on Tuesday.

Barcelona vs Osasuna Preview

Osasuna are currently in eighth place in the La Liga standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The Pamplona-based outfit slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Real Sociedad over the weekend and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.

Barcelona, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate on the domestic front under Xavi. The Catalan giants thrashed Real Betis by a 4-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this week.

Barcelona vs Osasuna Prediction

Barcelona have been impressive in La Liga so far and managed to arrest their slump with a stellar performance against Real Betis. Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha found the back of the net on their day and will look to add to their goal tallies this week.

Osasuna are perfectly capable of punching above their weight and have troubled Barcelona in the past. Barcelona are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Osasuna
