FC Barcelona have not made the best of starts to their La Liga title defense this season under Xavi. They remain in the third position with seven points behind their arch-rivals, Real Madrid. However, amidst the title race, they hope to retain the Spanish Super Cup this year. But, to reach the final, they must defeat Osasuna in the semi-final.

The Los Rojillos form has been topsy-turvey for the best part of the season. However, their fans will hope for a miracle against the European giants. Whereas, the Culers hope to strengthen their defense to win the trophy.

FC Barcelona vs Osasuna: Prediction

Notably, Osasuna is currently 12th in the La Liga table. However, in the recent fixtures, they have been able to find some consistency in the league ahead of the big match. They have only lost one game in the last five. On the other side, they have managed two one-nil wins and two one-one draws. The Spanish soccer club, on the other side, has lost only one game in the last five league games. Nonetheless, defensive problems have arisen in recent matches amid the long-term absence of star goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen. Yet, Osasuna is still going to find it hard to score. The forward line of the Culers has done well. Thus, Barcelona are the favorites to win the fixture.

Final Prediction: BAR 3–1 OSA
