Barcelona 2-0 Osasuna - Supercopa de Espana 2022/2023 Statistical Preview

Joao Cancelo has suffered an MCL strain and will be out for the considerable future. Xavi should rely on Jules Kounde at right-back for now.
Joao Felix has an opportunity to create headlines in Riyadh having been criticised by the press for his attitude in recent weeks.
Sergi Roberto should continue in midfield owing to the injury to Gavi.

Other than Johan Mojica, Osasuna have a clean bill of health.
Moi Gomez should facilitate the clinical finishing of Ante Budimir from the wing, having won the player of the match award in last week's victory over Almeria.

Prediction

Osasuna make history on Thursday night, taking part in their first ever Super Copa having finished runners up in last year's Copa del Rey, just falling short to fellow Super Copa semi-finalists Real Madrid.
Barcelona are the competiton's holders, comfortably beating Real 3-1 last year in Riyadh.
Osasuna haven't beaten Barca since 2020. Only three of the players in that victorious starting XI - Herrera, David Garcia, Moncaloya - remain at the club.
Barcelona should get over the line in this one, setting up either a replay of last year's final, or an opportunity for Atletico to win the competition for the first time in its new format.
