Team News

Barcelona
Osasuna
  • Xavi told press after match day 22 that he will step down as head coach of Barcelona at the end of the season.
  • Four players aged 18 and under took part in the club's 5-3 home defeat to Villarreal on the weekend - indicative of the turmoil around the Blau Grana in 2024 thus far.
  • Joao Cancelo came off the bench on the weekend and should start against Osasuna having recovered from injury earlier than expected.
  • Jagoba Arrasate should continue with the side he fielded in the 1-1 draw with Sevilla away from home last weekend.
  • The 3-5-2 helped them to concede only 1 goal in the game, a feat they had not achieved in La Liga since Januray 4th.
  • Ante Budimir notched his 10th goal of the season on match day 22. Only six other players have reached that mark or above this year.

Prediction

  • Barcelona face a crucial test on Wednesday evening against Osasuna in a fixture that could see them drop to fifth place in the league if they fail to take three points. Osasuna could move into the top half of the table with a victory in Catalonia.
  • Athletic Club are snapping at the heels of Barca, and are in much better form, having beaten them 4-2 in the cup and beginning to close the gap between the two.
  • With the announcement of Xavi stepping down and a number of youthful integrations in the starting eleven, the visitors could take advantage of the sizeable unrest at the Camp Nou.

  • No goal

  • Very poor Barca odds considering their last game when they lost at home to Villareal and the fact the players know Xavi is leaving.

  • Barcelona manager Xavi says he will step down at the end of the season as the players have 'lost faith' in him.
