Matchday 16 of La Liga between Barcelona and Osasuna will take place on December 13 at Camp Nou. Barcelona vs Osasuna: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Barcelona
The Catalans have extended their winning run and pulled further clear of their pursuers. A week ago Barcelona secured three points in a dramatic away game at Real Betis (5-3), marking their sixth consecutive La Liga victory. Over that period Hansi Flick's side overtook Real Madrid and now lead them by four points. The club's scoring streak in La Liga has reached 36 matches this season, and they have netted 47 goals overall ― the most in the division by a comfortable margin. Barcelona have also been imperious at Camp Nou, remaining unbeaten there in the league so far this season.
- The team has scored at least three goals in six consecutive La Liga matches.
- The unbeaten run in the competition stretches to 13 matches (11 wins, 2 draws).
- Both teams have scored in 10 of Barcelona's last 11 La Liga games.
Probable Barcelona lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Joan Garcia – Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Gerard Martin, Alex Balde – Pedri, Eric Garcia – Runi Bardagji, Lamine Yamal, Marcus Rashford – Ferran Torres.
Midfielders Dani Olmo and Gavi are unavailable through injury. Defender Ronald Araujo has been given a rest.
Osasuna
The Pamplona side earned a vital 2-0 victory over Levante in the last round, ending a six-match winless run in La Liga and pulling clear of the relegation zone to move up to 15th. However, Osasuna remain a different prospect on the road ― they are the weakest away side in the division, having collected just two points from eight away league matches so far this season.
- The team has conceded in nine of their last 11 La Liga matches.
- No more than two goals were scored in eight of Osasuna's last 10 away La Liga games.
- Osasuna have covered the +1.5 handicap in seven of their last eight La Liga matches.

Sergio Herrera – Enzo Boyomo, Alejandro Catena, Inigo Argibide – Jon Moncayola, Aimar Oroz, Lucas Torro, Abel Bretones – Victor Munoz, Ante Budimir, Ruben Garcia.
Midfielder Iker Benito is recovering from injury.

Match prediction: Barcelona vs Osasuna
Barcelona continue to churn out victories and have solidified their position at the top of the table. The side have won six league matches in a row and, under Hansi Flick, have dropped no points at Camp Nou this season. While they do not always keep clean sheets, past meetings with Osasuna have generally seen Barcelona perform reliably at home; in fact, the Catalans have recorded five successive La Liga home wins without conceding.
Osasuna are the worst-performing away team in the division. Across their eight away league fixtures this season they have no wins, just two draws and six defeats, and in six of those eight games they failed to score, managing only three goals in total.
Prediction – Barcelona to win to nil
