Barcelona welcome Osasuna to the Camp Nou aiming to make it seven straight wins in La Liga.
Reigning champions Barcelona host Osasuna looking to extend their lead atop of the La Liga standings with a seven-game winning streak. Hansi Flick’s squad has not lost domestically since October and aims to continue this positive momentum at Spotify Camp Nou, despite Osasuna having previously inflicted Flick's first La Liga defeat as a manager.
The match between Barcelona and Osasuna will kick off on Saturday, December 13, at 5:30 p.m. GMT / 12:30 p.m. ET / 9:30 a.m. PT. The game will be held at the Spotify Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain.
In their last five encounters, Barcelona has secured 4 victories, while Osasuna has won 1, with no draws recorded. Their most recent match on March 27, 2025, saw Barcelona defeat Osasuna 3-0 in La Liga.
Barcelona's recent form includes wins against Eintracht Frankfurt (2–1), Atlético Madrid (3–1), and Aláves (3–1), alongside a 3–5 loss to Real Betis and a 3–0 loss to Chelsea. Osasuna’s recent results show a 2–0 win over Levante, a 3–5 loss to Ebro, a 2–2 draw with Mallorca, a 1–3 loss to Real Sociedad, and a 0–1 loss to Sevilla.

Barcelona's squad is nearing full health, though Dani Olmo and Gavi are sidelined until the new year with injuries, and Ronald AraĂşjo is unavailable due to personal matters. Coach Hansi Flick might continue experimenting with Lamine Yamal in the No.10 role, a strategy that recently benefited Roony Bardghji. Eric GarcĂa is expected to start in midfield alongside Pedri, with the defense remaining consistent.
Barcelona's predicted starting lineup for the match against Osasuna is a 4-2-3-1 formation: GarcĂa; KoundĂ©, CubarsĂ, MartĂn, Balde; GarcĂa, Pedri; Bardghji, Yamal, Raphinha; Torres. This reflects two changes from their recent Champions League fixture.
Osasuna manager Alessio Lisci has a nearly full squad available, with ĂŤker Benito being the only major absentee due to a season-ending knee injury. Osasuna has recently shown improved attacking prowess, scoring four goals in their last two league games, and Ante Budimir, who scored a brace against Barcelona last season, is expected to lead their attack. Goalkeeper Sergio Herrera will be crucial in defending against Barcelona's offense.
Osasuna's predicted starting lineup against Barcelona is a 3-4-2-1 formation: Herrera; Boyomo, Catena, Herrando; Moncayola, TorrĂł, Oroz, Bretones; GarcĂa, Muñoz; Budimir. This tactical approach is often deployed when facing stronger opposition in La Liga.
Barcelona is expected to comfortably win this match, with a predicted score of 5-1 against Osasuna. This victory would extend their La Liga winning streak to seven games and further solidify their lead over Real Madrid. Barcelona's potent attack is anticipated to dominate the game, even if Osasuna manages to score.
