Barcelona vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting Tips (13 December)

Barcelona head into their clash with Osasuna at Montjuïc Olympic Stadium on December 13 with confidence riding high after a string of strong performances in LaLiga. Under Hansi Flick, the Catalan side has surged to the top of the table with 37 points, showing consistency in both attack and defense. In the past two months, Barcelona have beaten Atlético Madrid 3-1, secured a convincing 2-0 win over Real Betis, and edged past Villarreal in a tight 1-0 encounter. The team has also been buoyed by the return of key players from injury, with Pedri and Frenkie de Jong regaining fitness and adding depth to the midfield. Flick’s tactical adjustments, particularly the use of João Félix in a more fluid attacking role, have given Barcelona a sharper edge in the final third.

Osasuna, meanwhile, arrive at this fixture struggling to find rhythm, sitting 17th in the table with only 12 points. Their recent form has been mixed, with a 2-2 draw against Getafe, a narrow 1-0 defeat to Sevilla, and a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Granada. However, they were undone by Athletic Bilbao in a 3-0 loss, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities that have plagued them throughout the season. In the past two months, coach Alessio Lisci has attempted to stabilize the squad by rotating his backline and relying on the creativity of Aimar Oroz and Chimy Ávila in attack. Despite flashes of resilience, Osasuna’s inability to consistently close out games has left them hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone.



The head-to-head record between these two sides heavily favors Barcelona, who have dominated recent meetings. Earlier this year, Barcelona defeated Osasuna 3-0 in March, while in 2024 they managed a 2-0 win in the Supercopa and a 1-0 victory in LaLiga. Osasuna’s last notable success came in September 2024 when they stunned Barcelona 4-2, but such results have been rare. Barcelona’s home advantage at Montjuïc, combined with their current form, makes them overwhelming favorites. The Catalans have scored freely in recent weeks, with Robert Lewandowski rediscovering his scoring touch and Lamine Yamal continuing to impress as one of the brightest young talents in Europe. Osasuna’s defense, which has conceded heavily against top opposition, will face a stern test against this attacking firepower.

Taking all factors into account, the prediction leans strongly toward a Barcelona victory. Their momentum, squad depth, and attacking options should prove too much for Osasuna, who remain inconsistent and vulnerable at the back. While Osasuna may find a way to score through Ávila or Oroz exploiting transitional moments, Barcelona’s dominance in possession and clinical finishing are expected to dictate the outcome. The most realistic forecast is a 4-1 scoreline in favor of Barcelona, reflecting both their superiority and Osasuna’s tendency to concede multiple goals against elite opposition. This result would further cement Barcelona’s position at the summit of LaLiga while leaving Osasuna battling to escape the lower reaches of the table.
